I disagree, I supercharged, turbocharged my acura rsx type s and ran it with turbo for 20k+ and the car ran like it was brand new, as long as you have a good tune, take good care of it (maintenance wise) you will be fine. Its not like maxing out the motor. There is always variable that need to be looked at

So you car is 3.0L right?? 3.0L will be done early March or the end of Feb??
We guarantee 50%hp up
Let me know if you have any question.
so i am guessing it going to be a piggy back

Things deteriorate after being used. The harder you use them the faster they go out.
Just like a human body as you get older it gets worn out.

I was more going on saying what I said because you made a dumb comment about he said 20k"+".

Yes I understand nothing will last forever. But I would rather make time fly in a Honda than a BMW.

I've had a Vortech sc kit on my Maxima for several years and I had no engine problems at all except for the continuous jumping drive belt. As long as the afr is set up right then it won't blow up on you.

this Ben's reply on 12 Dec.

Mine is European 2.5L 325i, i am happy with 280hp if the SC can last me 50-80k km.

Hi Thomas

Good day!!
We set up 0.5 bars. It will have 280hp output.
The parts will be leased the early Jan.
I am sorry you still have to wait a while.
Let me know if you have any question.

Arma Supercharger
Ben

Interesting stuff. Hopefully it works out so we can get some S/C N52s state-side.
