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

[srt8guy]

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!

extra warranty>>>it has kept me from supercharging<<
hope everything works out ok for you and it dosent cost

plate and monetarily help you out...that would be nice..

Sorry to hear another one bites the dust thanks to ****ty R & D on the part of GSM . Did anyone try contacting the Blower manufacturer that GSM abuses(Oh ..I meant uses) and informing them of their torched motors ? Would they even care ? I just don't know when enough is going to be enough . Yet they continue to prosper on everyone else's misfortune . Not even mine but I still get a deep sinking feeling in my stomach when I read these stories . And the sad part is I'm sure not everyone who blew had this anticipated in their mod budgets and now something else that gives you pleasure has taken the hit and is on hold . Good luck getting back on the road again and sleep well GSM ...knowing you killed another one . DISGUSTING!!!!!!

Oh no!! I’m so sorry to read of this catastrophe! This should have never happened to you. You should NOT get this burned because you wanted a supercharger! You just got your beautiful ride. My condolences and I hope you can work something out with GSM for some kind of assistance. This just isn’t right.

GSM Problems (formerly 'Thank you GSmotorsports')
Make sure you read through this similar thread that now has a revised title. I am so sorry to hear that this has also happened to your brand new vehicle. Dealing with GSM for various members has not been good and I worry what about the difficulty for someone outside the U.S.

Don't let GSM get away with this disaster.

i am unistalling my s/c soon. I am not going to ruin my car over something like that. It is monday and i still have not heard back from gsm.
thanks to all who have posted their stories and to anyone who wants to s/c their car wait a while till someone comes out with a good kit that has been proven.

I am one of the ones with a similar problem with GS (a destroyed engine)- don't expect them to respond except to blame YOU for messing up their perfectly good s/c
