Oh, i thought the hi pressure would f*ck things in the engine. And doing it for along time just roots the crap out of everything. If its just a heating problem, couldnt you add another radiator or upgrade your engine cooling. Also, just curios, can you use a intercooler as a radiator. Because I am g...

Does High PSI Boost Destroy Your Engine? How To Prevent It?

Hello,

I have been told from all my mates who claim knowledge in turbo's that when you boost your turbo to a higher psi that it destroys your engine.

So boosting from 7 to 15psi would mean a shortened engine life.

Is that true?

And if it is, what can you do to prevent or stop it?

Thanks

I've never had a turbo car.. this is my first ... so I know nothing about intercoolers. But ive heard using the aircon while driving can fuck your engine because of something to do with the moisture in the air. Do I have to modify anything else when installing one (e.g. ECU) and does it matter what ...

Hmm interesting...My original plan was to bolt on a RX7 top mount intercooler which came with the car including a spare bonnet which has the scoop for it, then put an 88 or 89 ECU in it. Then later down the track, put a bigger turbo, bigger intercooler and standalone comp and fuel pump. With putting...

And it seems that top mount over weighs the front mount by what I've read, but not many people actually use top mount. So id be interested what you guys hav...
