Shame people want immediate power without knowing the consequences of what it brings. Do it right the first time and you can enjoy it forever. Hope your buddy learns that patience is a virtue.

 

So do i since he is now going to be a father of two children

 

lol welcome 2 my world.

 

If he's willing to sell the cylinder head I'll buy it for $150

 

did you see that picture? I believe you'd be better off buying a 150dollar paper weight. at leas one of those won't scratch your desk.

 

I didn't see any damage to the bottom of the cylinder head, other than the valves. No chunks of aluminum missing. Head gasket looked good. He simply melted his pistons and blew them out the bottom. My offer still stands.

 

did you miss the roasted valves?

 

i would rebuild the head. what do you think I am gonna do slap this on a car as-is? The head is structually sound from what I can see. Thats all I need, I have 2 built motors and one needs a new head. This head fits the bill

 

i dont have friends like this...

I also have been running Treadstone at 9 psi without tuning, for over a year and had no problems what so ever.

 

9 psi on a velocity stack MAF adapter "so called tuning" is one thing put a boost controller on there peak boost reading at 16.2 psi is a whole different ball game. In my book you need engine management NO MATTER WHAT

 

just read up on this...wow completely trashed the entire engine. Here is the thing, Treadstone claims on their website, if you are running the 7 or 9 lb boost, you do not need managment. Has anyone ever called them out on this?

 

the post before you mentions he was running about 16psi, thats waaaay outside Treadstones recommended specs.

 

Agreed, but many have said never boost w/o management. I am assuming Treadstones "tune"
isn't comparable to say F/IC and a tuner @ 7-9psi. I would like to see a comparison of the 2.

treadstone's "tune" involves the velocity stack that the maf sensor sits on

 

+1

But, I am not exactly sure when I'm gonna have it all done, but by this summer....hopefully even the beginning of May, I should be running a Dezod S1 kit. But yea I have definitely learned a lot from you guys. I havent really posted much in the F/I section...just read. Been waiting for a reliable kit to come out so this doesnt happen to me. But yea thanks guys

 

soooo i just saw this thread and you have to be effing kidding me.

 

LOL.... just because some people can hold a wrench and take things apart / put parts on an engine...doesn't mean they should.
Hell I've been building performance/custom cars and engines for a long, long time...but even with all my experience, I've haven't been in on a F.I. install yet...so it only makes sense to consult those with a lot of experience BEFORE you try something new. That way they don't end up like that noob with a trashed engine.

 

Exactly, I told the kid Id do the install and have him tuned but nope lets not listen to someone who knows what there talking about because thats the kinda people that are always wrong. I believe thats how his brain functions which is sad. haha
