Sup guys, just picked up a 97 gsr with super low miles. 44,000 original mileage. Wondering if i should boost my car. Would it mess my motor up that bad in the long run ?

 

Do you want to boost it?

 

just sell it to me instead.

 

when boosting your car at low boost 5-8 psi expect around 90% of engine life

 

Its your car, do as you please

 

i say if you wanna have a lot of fun with your fairly fresh car, boost!

 

Only if you plan for the unexpected, have a built motor, have a lot of $$ + patience, or boost really low psi....then if your're not certain w/ any of these, then don't boost.

 

Why not I say... Just as long as you don't drive like a total jackass and keep the car maintained well, you should be ok man.

 

It is all in the tuning. You could run 7-8psi everyday and not have any problems,as long as your car is properly tuned. I say go for it.

 

if you have the money to piece together/buy a turbo and properly tune it then by all means do it

 

its all about the $$$ and how long u want the car to last. if you want it to last a good while then even if it is turbo'd u still have to drive it easy. if its not tuned right and u punch it every chance u get ur gonne be investing in a new motor or new car

 

boost it...hehe if u have money

 

As everyone has said, you can boost it at 7-8 psi and the engine will still last a long time.

However, it sounds like you need to learn a bit more about turbos before you go and boost your teg. It will save you ALOT of money in the engine. More than likely, it will save your engine.

 

It's not about PSI X number levels that draws the line in blowing up your motor or still keeping it safe.

It's proper turbo sizing and the resulting WHP or target goal you want.

EX: 250WHP on a T3 turbo @ 10-12 psi vs 250WHP on a T3/T4 turbo @ 6-8 psi.

The powerbands may slightly differ from each other, but in the end, they are both making roughly the same HP.


AND **** YES, boost your motor. Research first please.
