engine damage?

garydahl · May 2nd, 2008, 02:52 PM

I am thinking of installing a 10 psi supercharger on my 08 Mustang Bullitt. My question is , If ! am on the throttle hard 10% of the time, and drive it 90% of the time normally , how long can I expect my engine to last?

cmdr_anomic · May 2nd, 2008, 02:57 PM

87,539 miles

depends on your tune and how you treat her man.

5 miles.. 205 thousand.. it's a toss up

garydahl · May 2nd, 2008, 02:59 PM

Now that was a funny answer

Supercharge it and drive the hell out of it. All you can really do is enjoy your ride. If it breaks, great opportunity to build it stronger. just my 0.02...

If you are entertaining the idea of a power adder....engine life gets backburnered...its a toss up, but thats price of playin.

With around 440rwhp you could easily see 100k if it's tuned right and you don't beat the hell out of it.

im fucked then...

no fun have the boost and not beating the hell out of her! build it stronger and put her away wet!!!

2006greyGT · May 3rd, 2008, 09:33 PM

I think I qualify for the "beating the hell out of it club" I have made over 60 passes at the 1/4 strip in the last month... thinking about entering a bracket racing series... the car has shown no signs of a problem... so my advise is ..... do it!!!

As long as you stay away from Hayseed sparkplugs you'll be aight

Whippled07 · May 3rd, 2008, 10:03 PM

Agree with everyone else. What is the use of a power adder if you don't beat the hell out of it? If she breaks, forge a stronger newer one.

mustangrebuilder · May 4th, 2008, 02:26 AM

same here agree with everyone else. get the s/c a good tune and beat the hell otu of it, and jsut see how long it goes for.

G.T. Rags · May 4th, 2008, 02:29 AM

sock it's cock once a weel and it'll last 250k

TheUNZippee! · May 4th, 2008, 09:01 AM

10 psi is a little high for a stock bottom end, but not out of the question. I wouldn't go higher than that. Lots of guys run 10 on stock stuff. How long it lasts depends on luck, on how you drive it, and most importantly how good the tune is.

Some people blow their bone-stock engines by pounding on them all the time.

My question to you is, do you really think you can keep your foot out of it 90% of the time once you feel that power?

Good luck with that.

2006GTARPD3 · May 4th, 2008, 04:49 PM

Well you can always get nitrous and then you know your engine will be destroyed the more you use it. Thus you will learn the lesson of 10 vs 90

2006greyGT · May 4th, 2008, 07:21 PM

I don't think anyone with a s/c or turbo goes 90/10.... maybe 60/40... maybe

Nitrous destroys engines more than Turbos or S/C ? Can you explain for me please?

Well wasnt it you that said your nitrous blew out your sparks first shot? I mean from what I hear, not by fact or opinion, nitrous is more dangerous for a car. I mean with a S/c Turbo you have necessary cooling equipment and Im sure nitrous does to. But turbo and S/c mess with air flow vs a liquid/gas injected with fuel. Idk I am pretty much assuming and I could be wrong but I believe nitrous unless well designed will hurt a car in the long run vs diff FI.
