after the first tuner destroyed my engine it was rebuilt and we got it up and running with the vortech. The car was putting out about 300HP at the wheel it rocked but after a few days the blower seized. The garage said it was most likely the shitty oil from where the tuner killed the engine before?
anyone else had this problem?

no.

shitty oil? The vtec block seal/screen should have caught that? No, I have never seen that. Sorry to hear about that.

does anyone know the part number of the vortech blower?

Enthralled

shoot... I'd go check for you but it's kinda cold outside.

When the vtec screen catches all that crap the oil can't get through and the unit sees no oil.

When an engine is lunched it needs major attention to decontamination.

The supercharger was second hand so maybe it was on the way out. I did about 1000miles running the new engine in without problems. The car was then tuned and I did maybe 200 miles driving it hard. I gave it some in 4th going up a hill thru to about 8500RPM and the blower started making a "gurgling" noise. The noise got increasing bad for about 2 miles untill the car lost power and died.

Not sure what it was I just want to get a new one on ASAP so i can get the car working properly at last!

Is your car completely undrivable now? Have you tried taking the s/c belt off and seeing if it will work as if it's n/a?

The oil jet fitting in the SC needed to be cleaned of any debris from your last engine.
