I have very bad experiences with FI BEFORE building the motor. Very bad. Then again, I drive like a bat out of hell every day. so I agree, how you drive builds is a part of it.

BUt any FI on a motor will end up killing it in the end. the question is how long. I personally wont ever turbo or supercharge a car again before Ive rebuilt the entire motor.

Cant speak so generally though. If a motor is supposed to have boost and is built for it from the factory chances are its going to last a long time. If you're turboing an originally NA car, thats another story altogether. That cosworth shortblock sure looks nice

Do you drive like this

J/K man! I am not a FI guru but I can def tell you that you should def research your engine. Find out what it can really handle. If you're going to take your engine to the limit (which happens 90% of the time because going fast is an addiction), better build up your engine first.

HAHA. They actually have sanctioned competitions for that type of driving, 1st place taking around 40K (US Dollars)

I understand you cant be general, but even on a stock turbo charged engine, too much boost will kill you. My 96 eclipse is a prime example. Made for boost. I went boost happy, Killed the motor.

My charger's motor blew without boost. the higher (slightly) RPM did it in.

In the end, more often than not, you will be a far happier camper with a fully built engine before your FI than after.
