Yea that suxs.. I would just take off the mods and the tune and just take it to the dealer and see what they say first then go into rebuild mode. I would also find a new tuner because at the end of the day if the tune was good this should not have happend. To bad you werent logging any data so you could see what happend..

 

Let the pure beauty of the above wash over you, dear reader. The first suggestion is to commit fraud. The second suggestion is to go find some new tuner against whom maybe the next attempt at fraud could be perpetrated.

 

+ not completely warmed up engine oil + questionable piggyback/tune.

 

Why not just try to use the warranty? I mean who knows if it really was caused by a manufacter defect. The tune and simple bolt ons could have nothing to do with why the engine failed.

 

What an excellent idea!

Now all you have to do is grok that telling someone to remove the mods and hide the tune in order to get warranty work is encouraging fraud.

ps. I'm not a lawyer, but I have a three-digit IQ

 

Ok mister 3 digit iq grok troll somewhere else. People in here are trying to help...except u

 

This is more than likely what caused the motor to give.. I own an MR, but whenever I left off the gas after a quick pull, I always up shift a gear or two just to bring the rpm/stress down.

Sorry this happened to you... It's stories like these that put fear in my mind and the reason I am still stock. Hope everything works out.

 

If warning folks that some of the advice being given is criminal is "trolling," then find me a bridge to crouch under.

 

lol criminal your a funny guy... it should be criminal to knowingly sell me a car full of all kinds of manufacture defects and not be willing to cover most of them.

 

why do people stan for corporations, you understand you're just one guy right? do you really think it's a matter of ethics to defend a brand?

also, mitsu dealers have ripped off enough people that there's nothing wrong with looking at an opportunity to return the favor

 

You can't be serious!

 

Sounds like something is bad with your tune. Possibly your fuel pump relay is/was dead, which caused a lean conditions, and boom.

I have done pulls all winter long anywhere from 10 degrees or higher. No problem at all, but I know for a fact my tune is on point.

Also I would have absolutely zero remorse getting warranty work done if I was modded. Whats the worst case scenario, they deny you? Best case, you get a new engine.

 

totally agree

 

yea I appreciate all ur opinions.... I think what im gona do is just get a built short block and have the shop put it in and call it a day... I thought about it and if I take all the mods off.... I HAVE to make sure all bolts are tight and look like they were never touched.... then have it towed to dealer, wait a yr and a day for them to examine it... then determine... then do another break in period with the stock block.... pay the performance shop to put the forged stuff in and tune it.. so it just seems cost effective to get the built shortblock and move on.... I just want my car back...

 

so update... had it towed to shop and waiting for them to look at it.. said they probably wouldn't be able to look til next Monday WTF
