Ive been getting alot of mixed responses when i ask different people about this. People being teachers at tafe, and other qualified technicians.
Is an engine under forced induction going to last very long? and how long?
i would assume its not going to last as long, just based on physics.
i suppose it also depends on many thing like what oil you use, how much boost its running, whether its turbo or supercharged, what parts it was made with and how long ago it was made with them ( by parts i mean pistons, rings, rods, bearings, valves etc.)
i ask this because its going to affect how i build my engine. or rebuild i should say. whether i do it for FI with relatively stock, or maybe a little lower compression, or NA with higher compression, either way i dont see why it shouldnt be a 3.0 litre.
from what i gather NA will last longer and i suppose its going to have a higher resale value (MUCH later down the track) and FI might die a bit quicker and anyone who knows anything will know its been thrashed.
by the way, if i do chose FI itll be a super charger as rediculous power on a front wheel drive is pretty useless.
what are anyones opinions on the longevity of FI verses NA engines?
