MY Supercharged SRT8 - I hoped i wouldnt have to join..

Well,
i come back on the forum with my head down

My solid built, well manufactured supercharger kit from GSM that i spoke so highly of - has failed!

My engine is blown up.

With stripping it down, and having my mechanics check over the engine (whats left of it - most came out my exhaust and out the bottom of the block.)

All my pistons and cond rods have blown!

After stripping further, we found a lot of water in my engine - therefore, water causing the con rods and pistons to cease and snap. NOT only that, it seems that the car has over revved - due to the piggy back ecu deleting my rev limiter!!

Thankfully we have managed to sort something out with chrysler and our garae here so we get the new engine, but we pay for the fitting!! I am so angry with GSM, all the horror stories are coming out about these kits now!

The water got into the engine because of the poor positioning of the air filter. every puddle you go through, up sucks the water. I have seen this on sever porsches with after market filters also!

so just now, we are trying to source a new SRT engine (which chrysler dont sell as a whole) and ancilleries to get my standard SRT back to factory.

Its a very sad day when this happens, thankfully i was only going 30 mph.

a very depressed and angry Scottish boy!

Guy
