Hate was the wrong word. Finger pointing so enthusiastically would have been better. There are people straight out saying JDM is to blame. No one can verify that. I really hop the OP gets his car back on the road soon. He has done nothing but present us with facts. Some people are just a little...
That is fine. I hate to see anyone with car troubles period. Especially a mustang with problems. We are all on the same team here. I might be a jets fan and you might be a Patriots fan. End of the day we all love going fast. Without tuners like Jim and Lito we wouldn't be able to push the...
As for wanting to pass emissions. Really? You built a car that will outperform most any other car on the street. Buy a sticker. I want every ounce of power out of the car. I don't care about emissions.
It's a shame you guys didn't have the same great experience I had working with JDM on...
The break in itself could have done it if the rings were not set properly but that is very hard to not realize sooner. It might not have been either tune. As for the service he recieved I cannot speak for that and you can't either. Everyone is treated slightly differently at everyplace. And when...
So what was the exact difference in the tunes? Unless you see the fuel maps then you don't know if the tune from lito was compensating for something that was wrong to begin with. I'm not denying he could have built a bigger motor for the same money. He was paying for the warranty as I did. Was...
I would tow the car to them. If I was paying that type of money for a warranty I would make sure I kept the warranty. You didn't modify your car and then when it broke go to the ford dealer and blame them. I understand you guys are upset. And you have every right to be. Everyone on here seems...
I have had my JDM motor for a couple of months now. I couldn't be happier. You guys want to JDM to warranty something that wasn't their fault. The engine did not fail due to mechanical failure. It washed the cylinder walls due to having too much fuel. All JDM did was build the motor. The tune...
When you do the lark test on the cylinders with higher leak numbers where is the air escaping to? Can u feel it coming out of the exhaust or the intake manifold? If the rings aren't sealed or the cylinder walls are washed u will be able to feel the air coming out of the oil filler neck with the...
If you are road racing the car and keeping it at high rpm it will use oil. High end car manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes actually have service bullitens stating that a car can use 1 quart every 1,700 miles or less depending on how you are driving. I bet your car doesn't use the amount...
JDM is currently building my 302e. I have been going to them since 2006. Pat at level 10 did my trans. PSE super chargers just got done rebuilding the saleen unit that was on the car. Waiting on the rotating assembly to get back from the machine shop. Ford racing heads are on order. They have a...
