10593, for all turbo owners Posted by 97eclipseRS, Oct-10-01 02:31 PM just wonderin'...how many of you guys have had absolutly no engine problems b/c of the turbo. i'm tryin' to figure out whether or not to get one. i can't afford any big problems though. | |

10594, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by JustOne, Oct-10-01 02:35 PM I didnt have any big problems before I put the turbo on. I hope to keep it that way. I am going to be putting in a new one soon. Hopefully before the one in my car now starts acting up. | |

10595, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by wakebord99, Oct-10-01 03:01 PM if you have many miles on u'r engine, check your head gasket, our engines have a problem with that. My engine w/80k miles blew when i turbocharged it.. head gasket went.. bummer. | |

10599, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by 97eclipseRS, Oct-11-01 06:06 AM have any of you guys taken long trips (5 hours or more) while turboed? it doesn't get too hot does it? | |
|
10600, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by JasonESi_T, Oct-11-01 06:13 AM You shouldn't really be under boost on long trips if you're driving normally. Therefore, the car acts just as it had when it was naturally aspirated. (same heat, same stress) I've been on numerous 3+ hour road trips. | |

10601, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by PowerEclipses, Oct-11-01 06:42 AM hey just one... how much do you want for your old one? | |

10602, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by guest, Oct-11-01 07:38 AM Since June and 8000 miles. No problems except for my valve cover just started to leak a little. Prolly not turbo related though. | |

10603, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by Matt_95tgs, Oct-11-01 08:36 AM I've only had mine on now for about 2000 miles, but everythings fine so far. | |

10604, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by DSMNT96, Oct-11-01 09:16 AM Been turbo for 4k miles, not a single problem (knock on wood). Valve cover leaks a little oil out of the breather but can be solved and is not really a problem. That happens to factory turbo cars so no biggie. As far as trips, the next day after the turbo was put in, I went to the beach which is a 3 hour drive. Everything was fine but I did push it to 145mph once and it was all gravy. | |

10605, RE: for all turbo owners Posted by Stan2gnt, Oct-11-01 10:36 AM No problems yet with the turbo and Super20G you should be KILLING corvettes at 25psi. 18psi should be more than enough for a new vette except for off the line traction. The only ones you shouldn't be able to beat are the Z06 (well at 25psi you should from a roll). A new Vette runs 13.3 or so and thats with RWD and big ass rear tires. From a roll you should be KILLING (repeat) them and walking them down from a standing start. | |
