Rant about JGY

[gtune4]

well I guess if you have money you can put a shop together and attempt to do motor swaps.

but when someone hands you thier car expecting to get it back better than it was, and you tell them that the bov isnt needed because you couldn't get it to work right!?!?! the mother****er paid for it to work, what is your problem!? on our test drive of my buddys car, the batt died and sent the new turbo timer into safe mode and wouldn't come back on. we got back to the shop and he said "what did you guys do to it?" what the ****. what did you do to my friends car????? then when you tell him that you will leave the car so they can make it right and they say " you can leave it, but i'm not going to do anything to it" that is when you know you are dealing with an idiot. I guess he doesn't feel responsible, when legally he is. we'll se what happens. my friend was about to take his car home with no bov working and no turbo timer working because the guy basically said f u after my freind paid him (he shold have wiated untill after the test drive!!!

i told him to leave it untill it is right, but i will probably have to finish it.

i have seen good cars leave this place, but this was ridiculous.

guess you get what you pay for, then again, sometimes you dont

I hate to hear that about JGY, this is the first time I've heard anything bad about them. I was planning on getting my turbo kit from them and some other stuff from them and having them install it. I'd like to hear their side of the story

[9240sx]

I sent my head to them for the valve shim service and it took them 3 weeks and they said it would only take a few days,and when i got the head back there was two broken studs i had to fix.but other then that iv had some very good deals with them.Jason is a nice guy to work with.

[nismodave]

Good thing I was not there............I would beat some $ out of them if they did not fix it.

[lee_harvey]

oh yeah. they suck and i will neer do business with them again. they held my intercooler up from shipping for 2 weeks when it was in stock, then when i called to ask where it was they said they didnt have any more but they could sell me "someone else's" for a little extra fee!!! Then we the dude found out it was me and the one that was left was mine he said he was kidding.. good luck with those fu(ker$.

[got2b240]

damn, I was about to buy my s15 turbo from them, but now I am having second thoughts.

[lee_harvey]

good luck

[score]

I orderd my rocker arm stoppers from them. No problems at all.

[ItzGenX]

I have a whole SR22 (big bore 2188cc) that was machined and such by them. They did everything right, but turn around time was long due to a couple of thefts (includes many of my items). Other then that it was all in check, in great condition, and packaged great upon shipping arival. Not the best or worst in the scene, but definitely a far step ahead of many others when it comes to building motors and doing swaps.

BTW, Jason is a great guy to deal with.

Hey G...so did B get the G20 back yet? And you know...Jason has a wierd sense of humor, so he might not have been serious. But I agree with you when you drop around $7K on an engine swap...it shoudn't have any problems. Maybe J was just having a bad day...we all have those...I'm sure he'll fix it.

[bottombunk]

i had them powder coat my sr20det valve cover in greddy blue. i get it after a very long wait. only to see at my surprise a chip in the powder coat. they werent going to do anything about it, they tried to get ups to take care of it and that didnt float so they werent goin to do anything. the one on display on their website by the way is mine. go figure. they dont take care of it and then show it off. other than that ive gotten everything i have ever ordered from them. but i only deal with wayne and howard @ phase 2 now.

[SR20DETPoweredS14]

I would never do buisness with them after reading that... I also decided never to buy parts from them considering their site looked a bit shady compared to all the other sites i buy from. I will only buy parts from http://WWW.240sxmotoring.com (excellent place) along with Heavy Throttle and Phase 2 Motortrend. IMO those are the best places for all your SR needs.

[SR20DETPoweredS14]

And if your buddy doesnt get his car fixed by them because they refuse to fix it without him paying them even more when they dont deserve it he should file a lawsuit against them.

Just wondering, did you jump start the car after the battery died? If so, that would explain the turbo timer problem. It will also effect some boost controllers. I jumped my car before, only to find my turbo timer failed to turn on at all (did so for a month). All these sensitive electronics are not made to handle a jump start (car to car). It is one of the worst things that can be done to a modern day automotive electrical system due to TWO charging systems fighting each other after the dead car starts. Also, I've learned to not believe any stories until I hear the other side (each story has two sides to it). Well to be blunt with you, I've heard Jason's side of the story and laugh at your ignorance for saying "the BOV isn't loud enough" to start an arguement.

[deejayS13]

Actually GenX,. the argument was that there was no air pressure coming out of the BOV, like it wasn't opening. Now I'm not some super turbo genius or anything, but I know when I rev my engine up and the BOV opens....theres enough pressure to push my hand back. On my friend's G20, no such pressure...more like a tiny slow release of air...like a fart...haha. I think the best way for JGY to save face would be to fix the problem...take the minute it takes to loosen/adjust the BOV so it opens properly. Sure it's a small issue, but when you have a customer's car for around 5 months or so, and they spend around $7 thousand for a swap and extras, it should be "right" before giving it to the customer.

Had to edit my post so I wouldn't sound like a complete a$$...only kind of an a$$.

How did you go about testing the BOV? A SR barely builds any boost in neutral revs unless u begin to tap the rev limiter. Also, it depends on how much vacuum the actual motor is pulling to open the valve more. Depending on cam duration/lift, sometimes it will require taking out one of the springs in the Greddy Type S BOV. One thing I did notice however is that my friend let me borrow his 94 G20 with BB DET swap while he is on x-mas vacation, and his car's BOV doesn't even open during neutral revs (Type-S BOV). I asked him if he had a lighter flywheel etc, and the answer was "yes, it also has UR pullies for everything". So it was less load then a usual SR. He also has JWT S3 cams that pull less vacuum.

how about a test drive with extreme compressor surge all around.

how about two quick revs of about 3-4 g's one after the other.when i run open atmospere bov- that will blow off enough to push my hand away , not farttttt on it!

oh and no jump start either. the battery was crapping out and he said he would fix the t.timer which i believe he did.jason is alright, i think he should stay in business, although he seems to think his "Style" is more in than mine?? anyway. peace in the middle east

[Spock]

Did JGY replace the battery with the swap? I'm having trouble understanding how it relates to the work they did.

Regards,

[240SXer]

I'd like to see their side of the story too.. I have to assume they had some sort of reason they did that. Either way, it's enough to make me not want to do business with them. It's not really worth the potential trouble.

[gtune4]

battery going dead and turbo timer issues not so badbov not opening is all there is to it no argument about itwhen we said we would leave it he said i will do nothingthen he changed his mind his side of the story is we brought the car trust and money in exchange for getting back the setup we wanted working properly, what is the argumentwouldnt you want the samehe is fixing ithe is ok

[wickeds14silvia]

I ordered over $4000 worth of stuff from jgy and I'd say they are pretty good when it comes to ordering parts(other than engines) from them. Its the **** that goes on in that shop that I don't like. My boy, whose name will remain anonomous, left his altima which happens to be a show car at JGY for a bluebird motor swap. After waiting two months for the swap he began to complain to them. During the third month JGY was robbed and my boys $10,000 audio system(no exaggeration) in his car was removed- or if you say-stolen. He was reimbursed by his insurance for 75% of the value. On top of that, JGY did a hack job on his car using a KA harness for the bluebird install. Yes it is possible to use a KA harness for a bluebird install, its just that JGY sucked at it. My boy ended up paying jgy $10,000 for the lousy job that wasnt even done right. His car doesnt boost let alone drive. When JGY asked him to leave his car over for another month he said NO. He doesnt want anything else dissappearing. IF you're on the eastcoast and need work done to your SR go to matt from importintelligence. The website is http://www.importintelligence.com. Trust worthy guy who did my swap and also did the falken S13 driven by Vaughn Gittin Jr. He also sells motors. DO NOT GET YOUR MOTOR FROM JGY!!! Thats where I got mine and they sold me one with a stripped oil line. I had to get the block retapped and get a bigger line for my turbo. If you're from JGY and you're reading this please "lick my balls".
