Hey guys,

so after long thought and many hours spent on Youtube watching amazing G vids, I have decided that I would like to go FI. Turbo baby!

One problem. Im not sure if its a good idea at this point to put a turbo on a car with 60K miles. I put about 6k miles on it annually, so its not climbing like crazy, and I know these Gs can run awhile. The car itself is in almost perfect shape, doesnt seem like its aged a day.

Im lookin at the Turbonetics single ball bearing turbo kit. like the price and what ive heard and seen its pretty BA.

so i need some opinions, too late? or wtf go for it?

 

look around in the FI section here and at my350z.com there is lot of info and i would think you'd be ok as long as you keep the boost low but i bet once you go FI youll be putting more than 6K a year jejeje

 

have the motor tested thouroughly.

leak down test

compression test

oil consumption

all that fun stuff.

 

Don't do it. Too many miles...Save the money, especially in this economy

 

Do it. Inspect the engine and forget the miles...Spend the Money and Enjoy Life!!

 

ever thought about a built motor and then turbo? that might make you feel more comfortable with high miles ^^

 

ya i thought about a built engine, but to be honest its one or the other for me. i dont really have 10grand sittin around. im just thinkin runnin all the tests and doing whatever else needs to be done to make sure its running efficiently enough for a turbo. hmmmm

 

By the time you get a good kit, pay for install and have it tuned you won't be too far from spending 10k.

 

my estimates around like 6-7K. i gott a guy. how much does install normally run?

 

if u planning on spending 6-7K why worry about install price

 

just want to hear what it is in different places. my estimate for install with a kit is 6-7 so ya

 

install and tune sounds like 1,400.

 

It's not the miles because I would still FI mine at 100k. The economy is ****ed up.

 

I'm sorry but what does the economy have to do with this guy getting a turbo? I doubt he's taking out his life savings or putting his house as collateral to install a turbo lol

 

I boosted my car for the first time with ~40k miles and went another 40k before building the motor. It was still running perfectly and the only reason I built it was that I was going for more power.

Be safe but boost it ASAP! As for the TN kit, I would look at the powerlab kit.
