I used to have a boosted stock motor till it blew to pieces. Now it's project SAA2 (Shock And Awe II).

15000 on vortech at 10psi
10000 on APS single at 12 psi
pucker factor at 20psi

 

50k total miles 30k with boost on Turbonetics kit.

 

Is here be about 100-200 stock motors be boosted...

 

aarrrrhh..

 

<--- 4000 miles 502rwhp@13psi stock block. Building now.............

 

Aps ST 9.5 psi

at least 5000 miles. no problems except a desire for more power!!

 

I thought you were selling your car/turbos

 

already sold my turbos...and I was having the dilemma for the longest time. It's still going through the process of registering here in california. It's a pain in the a$$...but I'm pretty sure I wanna keep her. Go big or go home.

 

9 psi supercharged. Drag racing. Just took had it taken apart for build and all pieces looked still fine...

Around 20k miles with my Vortech Z. Beat the crap out of it ever day. My theory has always been its the torque thats killing our motors.

 

48k total on engine 18k on APS TT so far so good.

 

4000+ on the GReddy TT. I run 10psi when I get a wild hair up my a$$, but keep it at 7.5 for daily driving. And yep, I've got a pot of money for a built block if/when she goes bye-bye.

 

If it's torque that's killing stock VQs, then mine should have gone LONG ago. Besides, the most common failure seemes to be the rods and torque does NOT break rods. excessive RPM is much harder on a rod than torque.

If excessive power was the problem, there would be a relatively consistant power level that motors would be failing at, and that's not the case at all.

 

32,000 vORTECH 12PSI

 

awesome numbers especially on a DD. great job!

 

APS TT...car had 21000 before install and threw a rod on the dyno while tuning after install...

 

 

26,000 miles with Greddy TT Stock Internal, 480WHP @ 8.5PSI.
Still running great in Solo Uno and PCA (Kicking Porsches asses).

 

^^That is Awesome!
