It seems I see alot of people going from a 5sfte to a 3sgte..or 5sfte blowing up and throwing a rod..
Is that because it's being pushed too hard??? Who has run a 5sfte for the longest on these boards? I would have thought a moderatly boosted 5sfte..with around 150-160 whp could withstand the occasional WOT treatment better...I mean toyota sells superchargers for the small 1zz-fe without requiring any internal upgrades and theres even a warrenty. Are some of oyu pushing it too far or it just doesn't like boost?   --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
