With that kind of action going on under the hood that is visable, I would be reluctant to even start it till I assesed all the nastiness. Who knows what else is not hooked up properly etc that you cant see. I would start by doing a hose replacement job if you have not done one yet you probably need to do it anyway, then you'll know for sure everything in that dep is hooked up right. My car had a factory reman and new turbos in it before I purchased it. When I did the hoses they had check valves in backwords (3 leaked as well) hoses that where cracked etc and that was done at the dealership! I would also see about a comp test to see if your rebuild is good. Good luck with it all

I believe I was one of the people that recommended Fuego Racing to you, and as many members will vouch for me here, I am no moron or a kid racer. There are so many one sided opinions and stories on here that I don't know even where to begin. And as I recall many other members recommended him as well, for the reason that he does do good work, he does build good engines, and he does stand behind his work. Your car was nowhere near "perfect" shape when it got there. The engine was junk, inside and out. And as I recall, your car took that long to finish because you had a set of blown twins and it took YOU forever to find a decent set. He then put them on and your car had been ready, sitting in the back of the shops for weeks waiting for you to come down and pick it up.

The job on your car was obviously done poorly. I wouldn't take it back there.

You need your vacuum hoses done right. You can see that many are messed up. There are many more that you can't see. Those are probably bad too. If you don't want to do it, you need to take it in to a reputable shop, like Petit. Once it is there, they can put things back the way they should be.

You should stick to the beach

Str8Down

Far from perfect when it got there? Please provide examples, because you have NO IEA what you are talking about. You are listening to his word. Tell me 1 thing wrong with my car other than the blown coolant seal, I DARE you. Look at those pictures dude, I'm glad you stand behind your friend, that's nice, but wise up, he SUCKS. Explain why he did all those things to my car. The turbos were fine, he tried to say that the rear (secondary tuirbo) was shot and that's why when he gve it back to me I got ZERO boost. If you knwo ANYTHING about these cars, it would have boosted just fine till the boost would fall off when the scondary tried to kick in. But I got ZERO boost, and that was his explaination, so you tell me how he is such a good mechanic!!

With all that said, I think he can rebuild an engine ok, which is why you see 2nd and 1st gen owners happy with him, but he has NO IDEA how to deal with the 3rd gens complicated turbo system. Why did he tel me it's done, and lie telling em it boosted 10 psi when that is IMPOSSIBLE, look at the pictures!!! He is a liar and a complete moron when it comes to 3rd gens, and I have proven it.

FD Rey

oh and the lil boy racer comment.... Maybe you should tell everyone about your cool Altezza tail lights and carbon fiber fender. That's not rice at all........

EDIT: I do not speak out of my ***, I did see your car, I did see your engine and I did see your turbos. Jose has no reason to lie to you, steal anything from you, or make **** up. I have close personal friends with 3rd gens that have gone there and he has built their engines and are still running strong with no problems. A few members here on the forum, I'll let them speak up if they wish, but they don't frequent the forum much. I don't get you man. If you had all these problems with the car, why didn't you call them out there at the shop? Why did you wait til you got to Jacksonville to ask questions? Why didn't you test drive it with Jose, if there were still problems, address them THERE!

Str8Down

I like my taillights moron, and the fender was just temporary. That's it, try to attack me to defend that idiots work, that will make everyone beleive you.

Now back to the subject matter, try, just try to provide 1 fact here, you have stated NOTHING but opinion and lies so far. Provide 1 fact please.

As for the rest of your comment, when I saw the freaking LUGNUT in my prespool blowoff valve line, I knew he was a damn moron, and didn't want him to touch my car anymore. Ask hi, I grilled him about it. The reason he thinks he put it there, is because he also made my car non-sequential, WITHOUT ASKING ME. Explain that!!! I already called him and told him if I don't see my money, I will be sueing him.

FD Rey

Here are some facts for you and watch it how you talk to me. You can call anyone else a moron, but don't be so quick to pull the trigger on me.

For those that want to see what has been going on with this kid's car see this thread. You can see posts from members that have been at the shop, and had seen his motor, turbos, and car.

Kid? I m 33 and a professional, kiddy. And go ahead and read Jose's litle groupie boy racer comments, I have facts this time, and pictures to PROVE everything, so stop lying.

As for you attacking my style to try to prove your idiotic point, here is a pic, I could care less if you like my tailights, I like hem.



you still haven't backed up a single thing. Look at the pictures, explain why there was NO boost the first time he "fixed it" and wh only 6 psi this time. Explain why he didn't hook up half the emissions, after he tore it out the first time. Explain why he he put it back together with broken hoses and stuck a lugnut in my Blowoff valve, telling me I don't need it. Please explain SOMETHING instead of just making ignorant posts that don't explain anything.

Do everyone in this forum a goddam favor and take the car to pettit racing (they are well known and are proven professionals) and stop bitching at eachother. This way, you know your car will run better then it ever has.

Str8down, thats the risk you take when you dont learn to do things yourself. Fuego racing & friends, you're going to want all the good PR you can have in this industry so try minimize your complaints regardless if true or false.

We are all rotary brethren in a piston driven world. Lets help eachother and keep these rare cars alive!

CantGoStraight

To be honest the DBL throttle is only there to keep excess boost down when cold. With it unhooked it stays open and all you have to do is stay off the boost untill the car is fully warmed up. This is one of the things most people get rid of as long as there the only ones driving the car. The vacuum diagram shows you which solenoid it's hooked up to and it has a check valve in the line as well.

Str8Down

Prescription, you are right. And after I sue Jose for the money, I will take it to Pettit, that was my plan.

Can'tGoStraight, thanks for your input, that is the true meaning of this post, I need to fix the damn car. So if it's not the double throttle that is causing it to boost 6psi, any ideas what it might be?

CantGoStraight

I don't understand how you left his shop without confiming the bbost was fixed or noticing the lug nut or some of the plugs. Granted some are under the UIM but most of what you saw was visable and easily noticed before you left with it. the lug nut would only slow down the secondary prespool if it's in the CRV hose and if it's in the BOV circuict it wouldn't lower your boost at all.

Larz

This is why I'm scared to take my car anywhere. At least if I screw it up I didn't pay someone for it. I don't even think the stealership would do things that stupid.

Str8Down

I did notice the lugnut, I said that earlier. When i questioned him, he said that you don't need 2 blowoff valves and that one does nothing. At that point I knew I would never let him near my car again and I left.

That brings a good question, does it need the presppol PCV if you go non-sequential? I am petty sure by looking at how the hoses are setup, he tried to make my car non-sequential. Does anyone have the diagram for the poor man's non-sequentail, so I can compare it to what this guy did to my car?

kabooski

Didn't I tell you to TEST F'king DRIVE the car this time around? and you did didnt ya?
by taking the car for a drive and driving it home you by admission found the work to be satisfactory...take that to court.. i'm ready to testify

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

Do Str8down a favor, and a testify in court. With you as a witness against him, he is sure to win.

kabooski

bitch did you read the "other" thread.....I posted proof with his own words
that he lied..that hes car never overheated never had boost problems
I found previos posts(which I printed a while back)in which he did! have those problems

Fuego picked up his car at his own cost
and I told him this time around...You better take the car for a test drive and inspect it
before taking it back home so he does not bitch about something later....

"documented proof" eat that

all the stuff he is complaning about
pollution removal/loose/broken hoses
was posted ALREADY in the "other" thread......I'm not defending Fuego's
quality of work....He already had seen it for himself months before
and he still brought the car back.....But it is total BS to bring your car to a shop for
a specific work and then blame the mechanic for pre existing conditions
that the car was suffering from which he LIED and I found PROOF
with his own words that totally contradicted his BS...Thats what I'm defending
and only that

I can't believe someone would let that leave their shop!?! Most of that could be fixed in a matter of 10-20 minutes.

Do you think that calling me "bitch" increases your credibility? It makes you sound like one of the "morons" that Str8down was referring to earlier. I didn't read the other thread, and it isn't pertinent. I am only commenting on your statement:

Your statement is foolish, and you shouldn't have written it.

Even if those were pre-existing problems, the car should have never left like that. Frigging ridiculous.
