Would adding a Turbo/Supercharger reduce the life expectancy of the engine? If so, by about how much?

 

probably not much.. especially since nissan is retaining the warranty if they install for you..

Don't ask.
There are too many variables.
(and alot of speculation)

I think whenever you add a mod that significantly changes the hp output of the car, especially a forced induction mod such as a turbocharger or supercharger, you can definately expect things in the engine to wear out faster than they would if you left it stock.

Keep in mind I am referring to internal parts of the engine and not necessarily total engine failure.

I am sure once your turbo is insalled you will wear out any Mustangs even more quickly.

 

SVT Cobra has a very robust engine, a bulletproof transmission, and a low-boost supercharger (with a lower-than-normal-mustang compression ratio).... I think the engine and drivetrain, at least, will stand the test of time real well. I'm a bit worried about adding boost to an engine not designed for FI....

Part of the reason I decided on the 6MT over the Automatic is because I'd expect it to hold up better when more power is added. That make any sense?

Time will tell how everything holdsup with our cars.

I personally feel that we arent going to have any problem reaching HP of up to 450. I think beyond that we will start seeing damages to the car. But with some minor changes to the transmision and drive shaft I bet we could see some crazy 600+. Im hoping to top out at around 350-400 hp. Any more than that and I dont think any of my friends will want to ride with me, and if that becomes the case then I should have just gone with a completely bare bones g and gutted it.

I don't really think 450hp is realistic number for our beloved G35 without mod of parts inside the engine. Another 50 will do for me. how much do you think superchange kits & installation by dealer will cost us?
