Yes or No?

If yes, how long has it been your daily driver for?

And how many problems have you had to date?

 

2004 Automatic
ATI @ 8psi
Using J&S ultrasafegaurd for timing solution
Colder plugs
Headers
Test pipes
Injen exhaust
A/F datalogging

My female friends daily driver on which I do a lot of wrench work including all installation. No one has ever touched this car except for a A/F tuning guru during a dyno session. She drives 80 miles a day five days a week.

18000 miles since installation

Raced at Houston Raceway Park with somewhere around 30-40 passes on the strip.-mid 12's regularly on DR's
Problems so far;
one shredded belt becuase I had it tensioned too tight. For the ATI if you think they are too loose they are just right.
Steel key in the keyway shaft developed enough slop that the pulley began rocking and ate the aluminum pulley. Locktite 680 green slip fit should prevent this in the future-this is NOT regular locktite

Key to this setup or any F/I
Have it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing and make be willing to trade a little safe richness for some horsepower.

Make damn sure you are not running full factory timing, you must retard the timing somehow on a stock bottom motor!

 

Yes
Since I purchased it. FI'd for 2000 miles
My exhaust cracked on a weld. Maybe to much power or just a fluke.

 

originally: yes
blew motor w/ greddy tt @ 8psi
still in shop, will be back in 2 weeks
then it will be driven 3-4 days per week (my other car is my beater. a 1983 datsun z)

TODD

 

15,000 daily driver at 8.5psi. No problems other than a nearly destroyed clutch and a couple sets of tires.

 

7,000 miles on my Vortech SC with NO problems other than routine stuff (i.e. check belts and clean/change filter).

 

3 months of daily driving (3,000 + mi) with APS TT kit stock boost, stock internals and 404 rwhp. No serious problems but still doing some fine tuning.

 

Not my DD, but one of the first Greddy kits installed. 7K miles on the TT, and not one problem other than some initial tuning issues that are to be expected when you're one of the first. If tuned properly and not pushed to the limits I am confident the car can run with a stock bottom end for a long time.

 

Whats stock boost? 5.5 psi?

 

7 psi

 

5.6psi on the Greddy w/o a boost controller. This is what the wastegate springs are set at.

 

Daily drive 6000+miles APS TT 8psi (first one installed in the world)stock internals, 400+whp with no problems other than a prematurely burnt out OEM clutch.

Cheers

 

Was my daily driver for 10k at 6.5psi for about 5.5k then went up to 7.5psi. Then I bought a truck for my DD and she only comes out now to race. Knocks on wood, still no issues.

 

Not a DD. Greddy TT blew at 8.5 psi while in for tuning, J&S install.

3800 miles on F/I motor when she blew. Owned the car since 10/06/2003. (5AT)

 

can you get a FI car set up well enough that you can go tracking it during a hot 120 degree summer?

Seems like you'd spend more time worrying about it and taking precautions and worrying about paying for repair bills etc than driving it...
