I have 76,000 miles on my 04 auto coupe. Is it too late now to think about getting supercharged? Just curious if it is even worth it and if i should expect more problems with this many miles. The car has been maintained perfectly with oil changes and belts and everything else. Thanks

 

Never to late to go boost. Your engine is going to be good literally ever. Your transmission is the only thing i would worry about mine is still strong after 120K.

As long as your engine is in good shape, why not. Go for it.

 

Get a compression and leak down test and if you pass with flying colors then you are golden. Can't really answer this question coz it really depends on how you maintained your car and how was it driven during those 76,000 miles.

Where can I get a compression and leak down test done at? I am in south fl, also anyone know a good shop in my area that is proven to do good work on G's? Thanks

 

You can do a compression check yourself if you can change your spark plugs.

If you have an air compressor, you can also easily do a leak down check yourself.

I'm going to do a leakdown before I throw my vortech on and I'm at 112k miles, since I have a decent pressure regulated air compressor. Should happen in the next few months.

 

im at 66k miles and thats exactly what i need to do. The compression and leakdown tests on my car before I boost

 

You only need to do one or the other. A compression test is easier, but not nearly as telling as a leakdown test.

 

^^ahhhh cool man, thanx!

 

86k miles on my 2004 with 22k miles being booster...going well so far. I say it's never too late.

 

Nah...I'm going boost this summer and I have 91K on my car. But I am having the engine completely rebuilt and all new heavy duty internals.

 

anyone have the compression specs the engine should be at?

 

10.3:1 But this is only be for the 280/270 03-05 engines that aren't revups.

 

I had just over 70k on my car when I built the motor and it was running great. I just wanted more power. Of the 70k over half of it was boosted either Stillen stage 2/3/4 or Greddy at 8-10lbs.
