Normal daily driven vehicle set at 6-7 PSI (lead foot twice a week)
10 PSI on weekends for dragging
How long should the turbo last before I have to do a rebuild?

Thanks for helping me plan.

 

with proper oiling, cooling and maintanance, it should last as long as your engine does.

 

So far Ive lasted 8 months just like that....

I've boosted for 2 years and still running strong

 

its gonna be a year for me on aug 7th! a full year and still w/o a turbo timer or new clutch...

im late to work almost everytime cause i have to sit in my car for a few extra min

 

2 years for me now.

Turbo Life is good.

PErsonal life is sucking...

 

I've found that turbo life and personal life have an inverse relationship as well...

 

been over a year for me and still going strong...

driven hard @ .55bar (~8psi) about 2 or 3 times a week (or whenever someone hits me up for a race )

 

very true.... very true....

*sigh* I remember the personal life circumstances before I turboed the car two years ago.

 

ahahaha..you guys are too funny.
should i pick myself up an oil cooler with my set up or is it not worth it.
max psi will be porbably 9psi.

 

If you take care of it and do basic maintenance on it, it'll last for a long time.

 

 

it's been a fun couple of years, hasn't it mark?

I'm turbo BECAUSE of my realtionship crashing.... guess I got the good end of the deal, sorta...

 

What the **** is a relationship? Does that mean she and you have a 50/50 partnership?

I ever never seen or heard of such thing....

It's always me, me, me and I give, give, give.

Boy am I a dumbass and learned it the hardway that women are the most
fickle, illogical, parasitic creatures on the face of the planet.

Now I just use them...

 

First of all I knock on wood for all you turbo honda owners.

I've been boosting for a year now on STOCK internals and STOCK clutch.
I've been doing anywhere from 6-11+ pounds (POS delta wastegate) and
now I am doing a comfortable 6 pounds on my TiAL. Since I am bogging nasty
and have 310cc injectors with a 12:! FMU, I think I am a lot safer from detonation
and pinging than most turbo honda owners. However my performance sucks ***
and I am a mid 13 - mid 14 car.

Oh well but it is still running strong.
