Man you're lucky! Who's your dealer? We need on like that around here. lol

 

i did com- test
#1 150
#2 95
# 3 95
#4 150

smoke came out my dip stick
the trd s/c was run 9.5 pulley with no reflash

why would this happen to my engine?
do i need new piston and rings?

 

You need a new shortblock. You should have never ran the car without the reflash...

 

WTF? I can't believe that the 2AZFE motor is so weak. What's going on? Smashed piston tops? Bent rods? Broken rings?

Could you guys keep the old parts and have a machine shop figure out WTF the problem is with these motors?

I supposed that detonation is what did the damage, but I'm still surprised because I would have expected the knock sensor would haul the thing down before damage occured.

I supposed the rumours were true: it took the SC so long to come out because TRD was having so much trouble with the 2AZFE coming apart 50% of the time.

Maybe the rumours about the 2007 not having a SC option are also true 'cause lots of motors have been blowing up and Toyota can't figure out how to fix the problem.

 

How many people have bent rods? Who smashed through piston tops?

The rods are forged and the pistons are top coated in ceramic. Only the rings are truly _____.

Toyota pulled the SC for the 07 because they made the engine more compliant to SAE standards and in the process managed to require a new CARB approval for the SC and they're as sick as we are with CARB.

 

I recently just had my motor rebuilt. I was running the car with the 9lb and with out the reflash for a few weeks. Took months after i was noticing some power loss. I did a compression check and found 125 psi on all cyls. Brought it to the dealer and they rebuilt the engine. I was called in to visually inspect the parts of the engine for any damage. They also found the rod and crank bearings were soon to fail. Also a good way to tell if your motor is on its way out is by going through a quart of oil a week.

 

Where do you get your info from? TRD wasn't having problems with the motors blowing up. If that were the case then this S/C would have never been released. They were having problems getting it to pass C.A.R.B. so whatever rumor you heard was just that.

They aren't pulling it for the 07's either. Thet made some changes to the ECU and the exhaust manifold so the current kit will not fit. They are already working on fixing that little issue.

It's bad enough trying to run the car without a reflash but when you do it with a pulley you're asking for even more trouble. Just like any other car on the planet if it's not tuned right you're going to blow it up.

 

i don't think 2azfe can handle 9.5 pulley with no internal! or with out reflash

could my engine when bad beacuse no reflash?i dont i think that the case.

i brougth my car back to longo with the stock pulley.
i going to take them a week to fix.

is any one out there runnig a 9.5 pulley with there stock engine?

 

Dude you ran forced induction with a higher amount of power than recommended on an engine without a tune...it's not the engine being weak that broke it, it's you that broke it.

You could have custom everything, built block from the bottom up and if you dont tune the fuel right on a forced induction setup it's still gonna run like ___ and break.

And at least have the courage to own up to and pay for your mistakes, swapping the pulley back to stock to cover your ___ is going to ruin it for the rest of us who need legitimate maintenance.

 

There are a few people running the 9.5 pulley on their cars. Yes your engine could be toast if the ECU has not been reflashed. If you didn't get it flashed and now there is low compression then that's more than likely what caused it.

 

thank for all your reply

 

just dont run to s/c with out reflash cause blow motor.

so it safe to run 9.5psi pulley with reflash?

 

Not really but there are few people who do it anyway. If you don't care about your warranty then go for it.

 

There are a lot more than a few people zpi has sold over 500 of these pulleys.

 

your point?

 

I can see the line at the Toyota Service Center forming now

 

^Lol, From all the recent posts from all 3 people with a s/c leak it seems to be an install error of overtightning the allen bolts. From those 3 people 4 s/c's have been installed and 3 by the exact same guy.

 

Isn't that interesting.

 

yep...so far it looks like installation error.
