He was more than likely definitely way over 300whp.

I wonder what gear he made it to.

A Short Block Does with Labor and Install he needs a longblock this this is TOAST like paul said and i think the only way he made a little bit of power is with that stupid velocity stack maf adapter crap they have with that treadstone kit crock of crap if i say so tuning a car of a maf adapter and no engine management. Too many variables and bases not covered with out engine management.

OUCH! That first pic looks like a tasty bowl of chowder. Tell him to stick with it and not to give up. Expensive lesson to learn.

I'm installing my Turbo kit next week. I had no clue about Force Induction, I have been on Scion Life for about 6 months and learned A LOT before I actually decided to boost.

Just wanted to thank everyone on the forums . As for the blown motor "ouch" no management come on now. He should have known better.

if this is his first car, this is why you shouldn't buy a new car for an inexperienced person.. why? look above, plus learn on an old car, you screw it up, you're not out much $$$

Actually hes 29 and has a kid but makes bank and if he wanted to he could drop on a new motor tomorrow and he said he's just gonna fix her and sell her and buy something more "family oriented" such as a minivan he's wife is pregnant again with there second and he said its time to grow up and start taking care of his kids

Yeah it is a real long time for that motor to survive i think it was because the treadstone kit only has 440cc injectors and that velocity stack MAF adapter and plus i took his ecu to work with me and did the TRD Reflash with the 440cc injectors. Obiviously the reflash isnt enough and that is my only guess to how he survived that long

How would you explain the zpi kits, that had no management and were just fine up to 6-7 psi.

But then again I think they were on stock fuel injectors. Not too sure, since I never got a zpi kit.

With bigger injectors, the car might be able to idle. Really rich but idle. It all depends on the size of the injectors, and the latency, blah blah blah.
