not trying to start anything...but...

did you try contacting him about it via e-mail or a telephone call first?

i would go that route before calling someone out on the boards like this

[ca18det240hatch]

Most ca18det come with stock turbo blown...mine did.....theyre kinda junky turbos imo....

First of all sweetie, that turbo you got was an extra for you and I explained that to you. Second of all, I told you that no one who sells used turbocharged engines cannot and will not warrant a turbo from an engine that is damn near older than you; it's just not practical. And third, my job was to make sure you got a good, clean functioning engine and I did that at my best.

The turbo and manifold was a GIFT because you wanted just a long block and you didn't pay for a fresh turbocharger like I had originally offered. And lastly, you could've contacted me in private about this matter as I have been extremely friendly, communicative and helpful to this point and I'm more than sure you got your money's worth. If the people that you paid $2000 to do your swap didn't realize that something was wrong with the turbocharger, then it's probably because them nor my friend and I had no idea it was issue either.

And who was to say you didn't boost the thing till death (you feel me), but I don't get down like that because it's foul business. I didn't install it, so I personally can't warrant it and my friend will laugh at me if I tried him with this. I honestly would've gotten the turbo redone before I did the install, so you have no reason to talk crap to me. And if something went wrong and you paid for a rebuilt turbo, I'm held responsible and then you can point the finger at me, but not this time "Tiger".........I've been straight-up with everyone who've purchased an engine through me from my contacts (and that's a bunch of people) and not one have complained about a turbocharger. As long as the engine wasn't knocking or had been overheated prior to taking ownership. Let alone that turbo and manifold was a freebie for you, so you really can't complain because the price stayed the same.

And lastly, if any of you think that when you buy a motorset it is supposed to be perfect condition, then you're in for a rude awakening. The physical motor itself and the entire transmission less it's sensors is what's warranted ladies and gents. And that warrant only covers the engine block, the head, and their internal workings. It does not cover accessories such as but are not limited to: Alternators, P/S pumps, water pumps, timing belts, seals and pullies. If you're out shopping for a motor, please ask what's covered and not covered and if you're shopping from a ebsite, please read the fine print or the disclaimer. I'm sorry that turbo is supposedly bad "Britney", but I did offer to have one done for you in which you agreed to if I had done the work for you. But since you had a change of heart and had the same shop do the work for you, I guess they didn't see the turbo as being bad either. Good luck with your engine and I hope you read this carefully and understand my position in this matter.

Sincerely,

D'Angelo

i thought it was pretty much understood that when you bought a ca18 the turbo was gonna be shot. mine was, and the engine was absolutely pristine. they just go bad sitting for so long.

[ca18det240hatch]

Dee is completely right, there is no engine dealer that will warranty anything but block and head. My friends engine came with blown turbo, mine did, r34's did, and another one as well that i installed had a bad turbo...remedied by a nice t28bb...

good luck with your engine tho with the new turbo.

[ceniack]

and if you need one, i have a blacktop SR t-25 that i wanted 150 shipped for but you can have for 120 shipped

(not trying to profit from your situation).

has ~30k miles on it, has no shaft play that i can tell. came on my motorset (which ran in the US before i bought it)

i can ship it out tomorrow (friday) via fedex or UPS w/ insurance

paypal is [email protected] if you are interested

[Liquid_Neon]

yup, motors can be found clean. but my turbo blew up in about 2 weeks of running. blew smoke EVERYWHERE. thought my rings were done, but i got an SR turbo and gave it a whirl. im driving her now

[driftin8ez]

ceniak i just sent you an email....

[ceniack]

havn't gotten it yet, if you have aim send me a message SN: ceniack

check your spelling of my addy, sometimes people leave out the 'c' before the k

[driftin8ez]

I forgot the T in .net. LOL should be there now.

[Bwana]

So you're free, used, 20 year old turbo that was installed by another outfit blew and you're looking for a warranty from Dee???

[r34 gtr]

inDEEd. i thought it was cute. every time anyone asks what they should do to their new motor the first thing i tell them is rebuild the turbo. you can search if you want to, actually go ahead. ill wait.

[Bwana]

First thing I'd do is upgrade to a sr t25 or a g/t28 regardless.

[r34 gtr]

word. the ca turbo sucks balls.

[SOHCSE]

Hey, do me a favor and don't piss Dee off before I have a chance to purchase one of those lovely CA's

[ceniack]

TURBO SOLD!!!

[jt15833]

yea making a thread about this was definitely the wrong way to go about this. i see so many 'dee help' and 'float help' threads i think sometimes i got into there pm inbox

[driftin8ez]

Dee is a great guy. I got an engine from him over the summer(06'). Great condition and my turbo just now crapped out. Im not complaining i think i was lucky to have it last even that long especially running no bov. I guess it's time to move onto bigger and better things for both of us.

[koukicody]

thats a very impressive amount of time on the stock turbo. whats the plan now? SR t25, or t28.....or t3/t4!

[driftin8ez]

I have something in mind... LOL I see you have a miata listed as you car. I just picked up a 90 to be my D.D. now that my 240 is getting a little more "sick". The damn thing (miata) handles like a go-kart. I love it.

This thread is getting locked. Brittney, you need to contact the person you purchased stuff from before you go posting bull**** like this on the boards.

Grow up and think please. Threads like this just make YOU look stupid.

ONLY if you've had problems with the seller and have exhausted every avenue to resolve the problem should you create a post like this.
