Angry My car just BLEW UP after 3 hours

Ok for those who says SEARCH FORUM BEFORE ASKING... well i have been searching all forums : my350z.com g35driver.com and here.... But i want a clear answer...

I got the kit installed by Marc-Andre at AUTOEXTREM in Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA (819) 243-7461‎...

It cost me 11 000$ installed, kit included... Gauges installed.. turbo timer.. and brand new tire...

Anyway i blew it up the first day in 3 hours.... One rod busted... the whole motor is scraped.

But i have been reading a lot... people says its better to get a utec and get it tuned... change de fuel injector.. waste gate... they said a lot of things...


So now...3 months after the disaster... im ready to rebuild... WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO NOT BLOW IT UP AGAIN ???

can you refer me any experienced shop around TORONTO or MONTREAL or EVEN OTTAWA

( im in ottawa)

First I'm sorry to hear about your car. In regards to your question do you know why yet? Knowing how or why a motor failed is key to understanding what needs to be done to prevent it again. What did the boost gauge read when the motor failed? What was the AFR? Was the kit installed as designed or did things get changed or replaced? How many miles at the time of install? Was a before and after dyno done? I'm not trying to bombard you with questions but knowing why or how a motor failed is the best way to give you info on how to prevent it.
