FI maintanance

sojirovskensi · 06-17-2011, 08:32 PM

Since I could not find a thread from searching option, I am writing one.

One of my friends told me that I will have to spend more money to maintain s/c such as belt&oil,etc than TT kit.
Is this true?

If you consider having FI'ed 370z for next 10 years, which set up between TT and S/C will require less money to maintain after the proper installation and tune? My power goal is around 420-450whp and want to enjoy the low rpm torque as well.

Thanks for your kind input!

blower oils last for a pretty long time. for the vortech blower you change every 7k miles and the GTM kit last this long:

The supercharger oil and filter must be changed every 50,000 miles (80,000 km) or two years,
whichever comes first.

so you tell me!

Why don't you just wait till my car is in town and then you'll get to see the GTM Stage 2 SC in person.

I would love to see it in person. Can you PM me when you are done with your build?

Expecting 10 years out of any aftermarket FI setup is asking a lot, IMHO. You might get lucky, especially if you baby it. But if you drive an aftermarket FI-modded car for 10 years and really drive it, in terms of planning ahead you should probably just assume at least one major event leading to expensive engine repair and/or replacement at your own cost.

If I wanted to keep a fun car for 10 years and not have to replace the engine during that time, I would just avoid FI.
