COSMO · 10-25-2013, 03:27 AM

Iam planning on going to 10k then doing a compression test to just see how its effecting the motor is such a short time... Also I run motul in the whole car, engine oil, diff, brakes, tranny, clutch...

He has cracked 50k on his greddy TT kit with stock block and I am about to break or have (need to check my logs) 50k with a GTM stage 1 SC kit.

A friend of mine didnt boost his until 50k miles or more and now has over 70k miles on it. GTM Stg 2 over 500WHP, cant remember exact numbers. He has beat on his car before and after install.

To hear phunk has 50k the way he drives make me feel 100% confident this car would of lasted me forever with my driving habbits. This motor has been boosted around 12k miles with 0 issues.

I know it was mentioned before, Its all in the tune and the install. I know members here an over on G37, that have 30+k miles on their FI'd cars with ZERO issues. An here I went like 6200 miles and BOOM !!

Because my installer( Norwood Infiniti) Botched the install BAD, Then couldn't diaq the issue when I bought the car back.

Any additional information on what exactly was botched? I hear a lot about botched installs causing failure, but there are usually few details on what errors exactly were made and that info would be very helpful for those of us who plan on installing our own kits.

Pinched/bent fuel line. Made the engine go lean under high load and boom. It was unfortunate since he did everything right on his end. You can skim through the entire tread if you want the details. He was very detailed throughout the whole experience.

With proper install and a good tune is it still save to run 500whp with 91 pump gas? I am doing a TT build soon but i am skeptical on pushing 500whp on the stock motor with that 91 octane(garbage fuel).

I have no idea. I don't live in a place that's cursed with 91. If I did, I'd have a meth setup for sure.

93 here all day but I will be running a additive for track days. About $30 a bottle. Brings it up to 96-98.
