good day. ive read a couple of thread where people upgrade their banjo bolt/oil jet even though thier not FI'ed on older models(MY00-MY01). i fall on this category which my car was manufactured on January of 01 and i think the date was 28. my question is, is there anyone there running on stock banjo bolt that is FI'ed or you know somebody who's running without upgrading the bolts? is this really necessary if your going the FI route or can run the stock one for a while? your help is very much appreciated.

you would be crazy to run FI with stock banjo bolts when its so cheap and easy to upgrade and have piece of mine, you have enough shit to worry about going wrong already with a turbo kit you dont need to add to it

 

Its a supercharger

And yes Id upgrade before.

 

im actually running no banjo bolt FI

 

i scuffed my bore within one hour of going FI when i went stock supercharger... i would do it

 

holy smokes i should do that then too i dont have new banjo bolts i have the stock ones and my car is almost done gettin turbo installed. so what is my time limit b4 i have problems?? or its a hit or miss?

 

^ not good when you are at the dyno doing 9000 rpm pulls. I don't wanna scare ya but keep a close eye on the ground underneath while the tuner is tuning. They are less then 70 bucks for all 4 of them and only take a couple of hours to install. Just have it done.

 

My car has been FI'd for years without banjo bolts and tracked and she's running like a she's stolen.

 

put them in cheap insurance..

Granted you probably don't have to do it seeing how the supercharger companies don't ever mention it....

but for how cheap they are to install and for thousands your going to spend on a charger why not spend a few bucks more and make your engine as safe as possible?

 

no bonjo bolts? how did you direct the oil under the piston and cylinder?
