turbo_dreams sold me a blown motor.

http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=581031
It's my fault for paypal gifting the money.
Lost $3,250.
For everyone else this is your warning, don't do business with Jib, Turbo_dreams.

Sold me this motor and faked the compression tests. "Advertised psi 150/150/150/150."

Actual PSI: 120/120/0/30

These are my pictures after I discovered the motor wouldn't start upon installing it.




cylinder 3 0 psi, hole in piston from detonation and damage on the cylinder wall.





Paid $3,250 shipped. Street faction installed the motor, took me about 2 months to get the motor dropped in and ready to start up after receiving it in late January. Tried to start the motor up and there was an insane amount of blow by and ran extremely rough. Next day found out that the oil pan was leaking profusely so Street Faction pulled the oil pan to reseal it and found metal debris all over the pan. Contacted the buyer in early April about it and essentially said too bad.

You can still contest a gifted option.

If you need help, just ask.

Hopefully I can help out.

Not to mention the knock sensor is cracked as shit, however I must ask, why would you pay $3250 for a KA in the first place?

You should honestly avoid the gift option at all times. No matter how cheap a item is.
