Can the engine take the abuse of the SC?

3000 supercharged miles on mine, 10,000 overall with no problems. Never a single failure in an NSX. What do you think?

I personally wouldn't do it, but we do have forged pistons, forged connecting rods and reinforced cylinder walls. Basically that's all you need (excluding fuel management) to have a bulletproof bottom end.

And 6 psi (I think that's what the kit puts out) is pretty darn conservative boost.

Whether you're still alive and kickin' at 100k, well, that's a different story. But then again, I could be wrong.

Three PSI?! Are you nuts? You may as well just attach a blow dryer to the intake!

No, it's 6...

And the real question is whether Krazik's car can withstand all HIS abuse...supercharger or not! How long will the car be able to withstand the weight of his big fat ass?!?

Punk!

Nope last I knew it was 6! Everybody commented that 6 PSI cant do that much. Though I guess its all relative. Our compression is what 11 to 1 if you lower it to 10 to 1 and bump up the PSI what the hell is the difference your still pushing the same pressure if done right. Just at the higher end of the compression you really really gotta be careful. Ok im probably just talking out of my ACE but if properly controlled you can run boost on almost anything.

Hay with our engines reving to 9,000 who knows if its gonna run to 100,000 miles even N/A!!!
