Vortech SC. I'm nearing 150k miles on the car now. 130k boosted. I think I have a vac leak. The car cuts power when I floor it. =P

New car Mar 2013, Vortech SC Nov 2013 @ 23,000kms.
Now on 101,000kms, only DI injectors replaced and a few minor issues. Despite having done 51 track days, of which about 15 were competitive time attack events. I worked out that my car has been red-lined (say 7000rpm+) more that 12,000 times on racetracks alone. And some say the FA20 isn't reliable if boosted. I can assure you that it's not made of glass My opinion is that it's relative to bhp-greed. If you want big hp, it'll bite you. If you're content with up to 250whp, I reckon you'll have a long and enjoyable FA20 But YMMV

240 rear wheel Kw - say 400 flywheel horsepower - on a water to air intercooled turbo using e85. Engine had 60,000km before being boosted and had 4 bent rods 7,000km later with only some spirited driving and one track day I used to shakedown the turbo install.
Built engine being done now. |

I was a lot quicker than him in the corners. About the same with power.
He was on 255 road tyres. I was on 225 semis and I had a lot more grip. The photo was accelerating out of the left turn onto the pit straight. I cut inside him coming out the turn, and the photographer just happened to be there. Must have sounded awesome too, because for the track, both the Z and my car run open exhaust, and they're both very loud.

We need a hat that says something along the lines of, "make the boxer great again"

Are you sure those numbers are in PSI and not measured in inches of HG? If they're inHG you're running ~8psi daily and 10.5psi peak which is far more realistic. Unless, of course, you are running a fully built engine. |
