NEW RB26 FAILURE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a brand new engine installed,Tomei cams , CP pisions crower rods. acl bearring, 2860-5 turbos. It made 591 hp at 22lbs.
The place that installed the engine told me I did not need to break in the engine before the dyno. So it had 0 miles before the dyno tune.
Should the engine have been broken in first?
They told me the engine had an oil leak.
1st they said it was the main seal. So they fixed it.
2nd They said it was now the cam seals. This was more than likley the original leak. So they sald all is well no more leaks.
When I picked up the car a week later the engine oil light was on at idle. They told me to rev it up and it will go away, WTH?
We I think they did not check the oil level. Because on the way home my engine oil light stayed on and the engine died. I checked the oil dip stick and they was no oil in the pan.
So now I need a rebuild and a set of new turbos because they are fried too. I am soo pissed.
Oh BTW , they did not conect the transmission breather tubes to the transmission and all the trans oil REDLINE SHOCK PROOF leaked all over my new coilovers (BC RACING) and new (WEDS SPORT SA55) rims as exhaust.
THEY CHARGED ME to check the engine over prior to install. Now the shop tells me, OH IT MUST HAVE BEEN A CLEARANCE ISSUE WITH THE CRANK BEARRINGS. THATS WHY THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON.
I said, If there was a problem why the **** did you let me take my car home then? SO IT COULD BLOW UP and waste the turbos too? If it was a clearance issue I think it would have blown up on the dyno. Don't you?
They charged me over 5k US just to install the engine, trans and tune.
Can someone please ahow me how the trans over flow hoses are routed too.
I am holding them fully responsable.

They told me it was the engine builders fault. And that the bearing clearance was not right. I said it should have blown up on the dyno then. I told them well you charged me to check out the engine. They told me they even check the bearring and saw that they were new but did not bother to check the clearance. I said WHY NOT you already took it off. WTF?
