will adding turbo affect reliability?

Re: will adding turbo affect reliability?

Depends on your setup. Intercooler and meth inject can offset hot boosted air. (I guess NOX would too!!)

And that brings up the point of proper embodiment of mods to mitigate or minimize reliablily issues. I can argue that a 3800 properly built for reasonable boost applications can last just as long as the stock engine. But ultimately the practice of applying engine build strategies to manage and contain HP gets overrun in the pursuit of more HP. HP gains can be had (some methods easier than others) that overpower the built capability of any motor. There is yet to be built a motor that can't be blown up by someone looking for more!

Blown motor here I come!!!!

Re: will adding turbo affect reliability?

you guys are crazy

i drove my car everyday with 18 psi on tap

only broke my tranny and rear-end one time each lol

the only reason my car is down right now is becuase of a defective valve

radcat drove his car at 12psi for 50,000 miles before the v6 let go...... and even then it only spun a bearing

bump the oil psi, use great oil..... and keep up with mantance and your good to go.....
