Both Audi's 2.0t and the mazdaspeed 3's engines do have high compression ratios for turbo engines, but they are using direct injection. That lowers combustion chamber temperatures and helps them get the better air-fuel ratios. The fact is that we will not know how our pistons hold up until some one breaks one or throws a rod.

 

Figured thats why they ran high compression because of direct injection

 

kit looks like its coming along good, ill be pissed if the gts puts out more power than the RAs kit .

 

it has the potential to put out more power.

 

yep sure dose, I cant wait for this kit!

 

oh ya it will be fun!!

 

kinda make me wish my Warranty was done so I could go ballistic without worring about it being covered

 

Ya, but just do it right the first time and you wont have to worry about the warranty

 

Just don't worry about it then. Get the kit and know that if you blow the motor you aren't covered...

 

I would but im not too familiar with the dangers of turbocharging. Can anyone help me out with some info.

 

Danger - something goes wrong.

It's all about chance. If you leave your car alone, something might break tomorrow. That's why there's a warranty.

If you have a turbo kit, something could go wrong as well. Some people install them incorrectly and damage their car. Sometimes a part breaks (example: my friend's Fuel Management Unit died so his turboed motor broke because it wasn't getting gas). Sometimes you try to use too much boost and the motor can't take the strain. Sometimes everything works perfectly fine until the day you die.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, especially with cars. Leaving it stock allows you to know that things that go wrong or break are just chance. Usually, the warranty will cover those things.

If you modify your car with a turbo kit, you are taking chance into your own hands. If something breaks that's related to the turbo, it is now your responsibility to fix.

The best advice I got came from my friend (who has run a car modified with a custom turbo kit for 4 years now): go into the project planning on your motor dying. If it does die, then you were prepared for it. If it doesn't die, then you got lucky.
In the end, you have to decide if you can take on the commitment of time and money it takes to keep a turboed car running. It's all up to you.

 

thanks for the info blacksheep!

 

We just finished our Suzuki Project so we will be getting back to work on turbo kit very shortly.

ROAD/RACE

 

awsome. hopefully this time u guys can finish it before some other project comes along

 

I'm just glad my insurance covers things like blown motors.
