Do you guys do it? Is it too much for the daily driving or not?

 

Its actually not that bad for me. I bought the flux capacitor so it keeps the car really safe and driveable. Without one you are just asking for trouble. Just ask anyone who is FI'ed it is absolutely necessary.

 

^flame on...here it comes

 

nice, does it give you 1.21 JiggaWatts?? i'm sure there's a mod to make it give 1.5JW


i'm guessing the answer is a resounding yes, but with the stipulation that the stability depends on the install, tuning, other mods, parts, driving habits, psi boost, etc etc.

my main point was can it be a daily drive-and-forget kinda thing, with just 3-4k miles oil change and ~2 year "tune up" upkeep? or would it be take it to the shop every month, be ready to drive your second car on regular basis, etc?

 

You answered your own question basically with this quote.

 

If I am driving in town, I remove the turbo's and when I am on the freeway, I put them back. I save gas that way

 

Be honest with the guy atleast...

Look man, all you do it remove your intercooler. Then it's like driving your stock Z with the SWEET spool sound!

 

depends how hard you drive your car.

 

y go through all that hassle when you can just push the "TURBO OFF" button that's mounted on the steering wheel

 

That's what I do

 

Only a few kits have the off button. Mine is wired into the ignition so the turbos are spinning max boost whenever the car is running.

 

I did not know you could have that installed.....See you learn something new everyday on here

 

No, Yes.

 

Something I've done to increase the reliability of my car is re-route all my AC vents into the engine bay and into the turbo inlet and turn the AC on full blast. Lower IAC temps means less detonation I are teh smart

 

ok ok, everyone's a comedian here.

mod, just close this thread. question asked and answered.

i guess i know about fi

 

+1 for your avatar not your comment.

 

I have not heard that question in a long time. First the most recent RA thread with engines being built in living rooms and some how thats thought to be acceptable,.... and now this!

XKR, oh my, what the hell have you been doing around here ? This place is falling apart all around us.

 

Doug has really changed....I dont know what happened to him in prison.....If the old Doug was here....things would be a little different around here.....he was the true Noob Slayer

 

Yes, No.

(sorry Jay had to )

To the OP, you do realize that the car has the capacity to travel slowly, even after FI? Just because you can pass semi-tractor trailer trucks in the span of an on ramp, on the right hand side, with ease, when some turd is blocking the passing lane, should not deter you from driving slowly when you wish to.

 

+1 on that. Someone get Doug off the Prozac already. Where is Alberto when you need him, he was beginning to fill some of the Doug void and offerred some great sig-worthy material as well.

To the OP..... Welcome to F/I .... if you stay long enough you will eventually love it here.
