Can I drive 50 miles daily with a turbo-LS tuned on crome? im thinking around 200-230whp, t3/to4e 440cc and tune on crome. STOCK Ls. Can i reliably drive this car 50+ miles a day?

 

what rpm does boost kick in?
what kind of radiator do you have?
thermostat?

 

i daily driver my boosted gsr no problems. with fluidyne full core radiator. 7ilbs tuned with crome pro

 

its a brand new radiator from radiatorbarn.com, stock thermostat, changed about 10-15k miles ago.

 

i drive a bone stock ls turbo on 10lbs everyday. I got it tuned with hondata though. Some good tuning and good parts and your good to go.

 

as long as u have a good tune and keep ur car in good comdition that is no problem but dont forget tuning is the key to a long living motor

 

as said before, keep it maintained, and dont drive 140 mph to work everyday

thats how my friend blew out a bunch of hoses. spooled his turbo waaaaaaaaaaay too high way too often

 

yeah I don't plan on beating the **** out of it as it will be my fun/daily driver. Maybe a couple revs every now and then, but with gas prices like this ill keep my foot light.

 

yea it should be ok i drive mine everyday running 17psi

 

If tuned well it will be as reliable as the stock motor.

 

I drive 50+ miles on 7lb boost (Greddy turbo) with the piggy back system. (Also have Koyo radiator with slim fans). I still get good gas mileage. I'm at 136k with this motor but it's good to me as long as I don't rape it everyday.

But you're planning on making a lot more power on a stock LS which you'll be driving everyday. So we're not really in the same boat.

What's the condition of your motor?

 

What wrong with daily driving, **** i use my integra for delivery and it boosted at 16 psi. If you going to built it, drive it bitches

When daily driving, i barely see 1 or 2 psi, most of the time im at 10 vaccum

 

go with hondata, get it tuned, and you'll be fine.

 

when its tuned itll be reliable

 

No, it'll blow up. JK...

because people can't afford to buy tires every 2 months.

That's why I "baby" my car sometimes. I usually can shift around 4-5000 rpms and stay in front of the pack though.

20 bucks says that if he boosts it he doesnt baby it, its just wishful thinking on his part
