So I was driving today on the highway and all of a sudden my boost just jumps all over the place. I would be at about less than quarter throttle and the boost was at anywhere from 15-18 psi. So I slow down and get in the right lane and was about to pull over and all of a sudden my oil light comes one. Then it happened, the engine just seized up, no idea why. So now I need to get a new engine and what not. So that was my day.

 

Interesting. Did you see any kind of fluid trail after you pulled over? If you lost oil pressure so suddenly there must have been a big spill.

Let us know what the dealer finds out.

 

Man, that was a bad day!! Fill us in on what you find-out during the autopsy.........I don't recall any other total engine failures to date???

 

SUCK!

another evo bites the dust. i really hope it all works out.

 

Dammit!

Trustz - Kelli at BB Exhaust - we get guys asking whether the exhaust will affect the warranty all the time. Go to www.sema.org and search for info on Magnuson-Moss warranty act. It's useful information to have handy when going to the dealer for warranty work.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

...“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name....” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))."

This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of this law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle makers brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided.

 

Hey guys. actually I bought an EVO VI motor and will try to make that work. I'll probably sell a lot of my stuff since it won't work with the EVO VI motor. Who knows, hope it all works out. Hey look at the bright side though, BIGGER TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Call RMR in California - they just sold their Evo VI rally car, so they might have some spares there... Good luck
