Question STARION DOHC SCAM-WHO WAS BEHIND IT*CHAD*

SQKC: Chad Samual aka "Chad) on www.starquestclub.com and any other business entity representing said parties are currently suspended from any/all sales activity on this site, pending an investigation. Chad is completely banned from this site, from sales and use of the feedback forum. Chad has refused to participate in this investigation, and will not answer any questions regarding it, so it is unlikely that this will be resolved any time soon. Thus, any sales info, including feedback (positive or negative), is bared from this site.

If you want to read feedback to decide whether or not to do business with Chad or any of his entities, please do so off this site or in private though PM's/email.

If you want to share your experiences (good or bad) to aid others in deciding the merits and/or value of Chad's scams or his products, please do so off this site or in private though PM's/email.




read entire thread please...









just thought everyone should hear the good news

G54B DOHC HEAD
I am incredibly sorry if you experience difficulty viewing this web site.















As you can see, there is about 2.5 inches of clearance on the intake side as it is now. With the new head, a stock manifold would fit in nicely with room to spare.
Overall, the head is quite larger, but to the top of the valve covers it is about the same height. The dual cam head appears to be a lot wider, but the manifold surfaces are what counts. The exhaust side is actually almost identical (in position) to the stock head. While the intake side moved out about one inch. The distributor was moved to the passenger side, and the new head takes part in a manual chain slack adjuster, like a motorcycle.
The combustion chamber is quite small, I would have to say about 55 to 60 percent of the volume of original. This would be a problem for those of us running high boost levels, as the compression may be raised as high as 9.5 or more instead of the stock 7.0 to 1. -I haven't had a chance to measure the chambers yet.
The new head will make it extremely difficult to utilize the A/C, but I'm sure a bracket can be manufactured to mount the idler.
The valves are smaller(duh) than the stock ones, but keep in mind the port area is going to increase, as will the flow.
The exhaust side of the new head is the one with square bolt patterns around the ports. The intake has a triangular pattern.
Below are some pics of a Mazda head off of a Miata 1.8L. This is what I am trying to make the new head like. Even with a new design like this, and dual gears, it is only 1/4 inch taller than the stock head and cover, at their tallest points.








05/29/2003

Yea, you read it right! My friend Kevin back in Ohio informed me recently that a member of his StarQuest forum has aquired an ORIGINAL HKS DOHC head designed for the G54 SOHC engine...the intial investment to get the ball rolling is $12,000 for R&D. The first run will yeild 20 units, @ ~$2000 each. each run thereafter will cost less. the intiial investors will also see a price break as well as profit sharing from non-intial investors (customers).

this Head will be BETTER than the original HK$ version, as it will be cut from a solid piece of Billet aluminum, CNC'd design. There are SS valves already available for it, the Cams are already able to be produced, the hardware will be the same, only twice as much as before. And, cam gears are the same as stock... you just need a 2nd one. an appropriate length timing chain will be available. You can use all the stock gaskets, sheet metal valve covers will be produced. the seats are already installed and come with a 3angle valve job. and itll be threaded for NGK plugs.

Only 40% of the design of the NEW head will be based off the original HK$ design, so its small enough to be considered an ORIGINAL design and have its own Patent number. the Original HK$ version was originally designed for a G54/G52 NA hybrid motor which had a 2.3L Diesel crank in it, which were used in the IMSA/GTU race classes... same series as the NA FC3S :)

OH, and this new head will yeild a projected 18% increase in VE, all else remaining stock... including boost level on the 12A turbo.

Some of the technical information in that thread is inaccurate. Having owned one of those motors (#3) and I had several discussions of the details with the actual builder of all 12 of them, I have some specific insights to it's build that are not public info.

I'm not gonna say its impossible that it could be made, but that soruce is highly suspisious, at best.

There is way too much false info that has been passed arorund as fact, so much rumor spreading that some of the BS has some how become fact ;).

I'm not going to participate in that discussion, too much drama for me.

I had nothing to do with that "transaction", your link is proof of that.

It's like this: say you loaned a tool to your neighbor to fix up and sell his car. The car gets sold and the buyer gets mad because it turns out to be a lemon and he's out all that $$ on a junk car.

Are you a bad person in this scenerio?

I have nothing to hide, and you can link anywone you wish to this topic, they'll see it the same way. What I don't want to hear is all the hate, BS rumors, and inuendo.

It's too expensive to reproduce and have a viable marketable product, but John wanted to try anyway. I loaned him the head. What he did with the project, and to others $$ is not my business. I didn't ask for any compensation what-so-ever. I was not a partner, nor in any way tied to this projet other than as a material loan. I have no "sway" or "leverage" on John, what he told others woudl get for their $$ is entirely unknown to me, and as far as I know, they gave their $$ freely (no extortion).

It was a project that was attempted, and failed. A lot of time and some $$ was spent trying , but it never got past the mockup stage. I have lots of failed prototypes in my scrap pile that no one will ever see, it's all a part of the game. The fact that John involved others is Johns problem.

This is the end of the disucussion with regards to my part in this "transaction". Discussig it further will lead to more BS rumors and hate and it will have nothing to do with me.

Feel free to discuss it all you want, but I won't be a party to that.

I'm not saying in any way that you are the hater and BS'er, I'm sayign the SQ qroup as a whole is "full of it" on this perticular subject and I have no desire to be a part of it.

Man that's a long list of members who are full of it so to say. Perhaps you and John F Jamerson were the ones really full of it! $$$ That is once you stole it freely from members as you stated.
BTW Your feedback on SQC is enough to make members think your untruthful anyways and cannot be involved in any moderating ever. Just wait until we get to the part where you almost Stole the SQC site from ryddler for me. The truth is going to come out as I have kept quiet for to long Chad. Your a mole on SQC, you turned your back on ryddler with the comments you made why ryddler should sell SQC and get out of the scene. If ryddler had know this then you would be gone along time ago, but we will get to that completely here and on www.starquestclub.net where the truth will set all of us free and put an end to the Nazi Moderating team on SQC that has plagued this community for too long and has divided us too long. You can say and do what you like on SQC as I will do the same here.
Dirty politics involve everyone including Robert Price aka ryddler
CHANGE is coming and not a minute to soon..

Wait, let me get this straight. The DOHC head was CHADS. Chad lend it to Jamerson so he can make money off Chads head, but Chad would get no compensation off Chads HEAD, that somebody else is making money on?

If I got a part that someone needs and I lend it to a friend so he can make money off it, as a courtesy, I'd at least expect a commission. Makes no sense to let some one make money off of something that belongs to me and I the owner of this object, make nothing.

DOHC and John F Jamerson.... I'm sure there are folk out there who are reminded of the taste of doo doo every time they hear the two phrases together!!

DOHC on G54 is not necessary anyways. It can make tons of HP just fine w/ 8 valves.

The best part is Chad continues to avoid answering the real questions asked by those who donated to the cause. Never has he posted and of the so called "PROTO type(s) pictures to prove once and for all that his story has validity and some truth to it" This denotes theft and untruth fullness on Chad Samuels part. No proof ever posted showing any work/mock up type of head was ever attempted. The proof is in the pudding.
To those new members who are considering doing any business with Chad please be aware that his business ethics are simple. Screw the members out of $$$ and then bann them when they post negative feedback.
His feedback is copied here for all of you to read just what type of stand up guy he is not.

Someone told me Chad made a post on NW site stating again he contacted Questsi and is stating Questsi stated "I don't know what Kelly is talking about" This is total BS and another Scam tactic.

Chad figures since Kellydahman has 16 pages of exceptional Feedback on SQC which is used to usually gage someones integrity and honesty and that if he removed it members would not see Kellydahman as legit and therefor ignore all the posts here regarding his SCAMS. Cheap, just like his exhaust manifolds that all cracked .
Hey Chad Samuel google bots to the rescue. In no time you will be "INFAMOUS"!

You should try NEVER to place Chads name anywhere near the word "integrity" , we wouldn't want anyone to even get a remote idea that Chad may have any sort of relation to that word ! Chad has scammed the community and his friend John did so as well !! Chad knows that what I posted is 100% true ,this is NOT the first time I posted this . He had a clear opportunity to make free money off me but I guess at that time the scam was well in affect and there was NO backing out . I even at one point posted on SQC that I will send him a contract to protect his head from damage or if it gets lost , he said jack and never got back to me other than to say John has the head . The guy scammed people , its just that simple !!! He had some guys car from Miami for like 3 years even after the guy had paid him in full and kept giving him money for other parts . Chads a bum and lowlife , plain and simple .

I did a Google on Chad Samuel. His sister site www.starquestclub.net comes up with the Scammer thread.
He should have never thought of messing with me but his SQC Moderator badge he received in that Kellogg Box told him other wise. Now he is in hiding from SQC as no one wants him there they only want to break his legs.

Chad sucks peepee and he's a scammer and bullsh-t artist !!. But serious people , I'm still pissed at all this BS and its been like 4 years . It's not cool to steal from your follow members when this community is mostly made-up of the working class folks that work so hard for their money then to have these two A$$-clowns come jack it . and for that I say Chad and john are both peepee lovers and the both like young Filipino boys and goats .

I guess he thinks this will all go away in good time and "I" am destroying my reputation by allowing this on my site.
Here is some breaking news I kept quiet for a while.
Barbercb sent him $900 for the T56 conversion and DOHC scam. Chad recently modified Rick Mitchells Magna intake for free stating that Barbercb had a $$$ credit with him for the DOHC that never happened. ... I cannot wait to hear this one. You can run Chad but not hide at NWwimps.com or ix.net with Old and Grumpy forever.
