Wow... just seeing this now.
What I am curious about, is if the reading that AA took indicating a misshift is accurate. 8,700 RPM and 6,000 RPM on a supercharged car are two different ballgames. OP: Are you up for me sending you a flash drive and cable? I will be able to tell you max rev's/speed/mileage when it happened, throttle opening, etc.. And this will either support your claims or AA's. I will post a screenshot of it on this thread. I'll also be able to see how many times you've hit redline. I think it's a good 'discovery' process to see what's true and what's not. And for the record - if AA assisted the OP in 'masking' the supercharger install, that is completely unethical and is probably why the warranty department gives everyone hell over the simplest of things.

There is no proof the OP had a money shift even the blown engine tells a different story yet AA keeps telling us a money shift caused the failure.
Why is that? |

But hey, anything could happen - I think it makes sense to reserve judgement until we have undisputed, unbiased facts. |

I may be alone here, but I don't care who did what to whom and why. What I care about, and hope this was the OP's original intention, is what happened and what can be done to rectify it going forward, whether it be with the AA s/c, all s/c's or the stock engine. Sh*t happens, let's figure out why and keep the community informed.
Mike's suggestion is great, take it for what it is and don't get caught up in the BS related to the personal relationship between the OP and the vendor.

AA's original description of the money shift doesn't make sense to me. I asked AA to explain it earlier and they didn't. At first, AA suggests that it's a bad downshift (easiest money shift) because the car is decelerating (supposedly), but then they suggest that it was an upshift that turned into an accidental downshift (who money shifts shifting up to 5th?) when they are describing the OP's supposed shift sequence.
And they wrote 8705+ for the RPMs. What the hell does that mean? 10,000? |

I am not sure why AA would claim 8705+. Just so you guys can see, below is a readout from my car. The car logs RPM at the crankshaft, transmission, and at the vanos unit. You can see in my case that it was 100% full throttle and a bounce off of my raised rev limiter. And it was over 20K miles ago, engine is running better than ever. Low oil consumption, great gas mileage, and very solid numbers. A small german lesson (in order of red boxes in picture): maximum speed rpm / minute reference speed from Vanos gearbox input speed accelerator pedal position air mass (this will likely be calculated from the MAP sensor) (Note, attachment removed) Last edited by BPMSport; 01-19-2012 at 02:13 PM.. |

You fool with something thats near perfect this is what happens..
IMO boosting what came as an N/A application is risky..its one thing to have an already factory boosted car and upgrading or tuning..its entirely different when starting from scratch.. Good luck OP |

Not date. But mileage will be an indicator to date to a certain extent. Some process of deduction/induction will have to be followed reasoning from the information pulled from the DME's memory.
You can see in my picture it occured when I had 23K kilometers, which is about 14K miles. I have about 37K now, so it was a long time ago. |

I managed to pull off a money shift a few years ago in my LS1 off road buggy and the results were nothing like this...The ECU showed and over rev and it bent the fu*k out of the valves as well as damaged the tops of the pistons...
I think there is way too much missing info in this story and I dont think its fair to take sides just yet...both parties have some explaining to do asap |
