Right up to the point it blows up!!.... then you have a $3,000 boat anchor.Gnarls
I have read many many posts on HP numbers, but rarely - and I mean rarely - are those posts ever backed up with any certified dyno tests. Perhaps I'm just a skeptic, but until I see some data.... .all those numbers are just HAPPY Bravo Sierra to me.Regarding reliability of any DIYer highly modified-from-stock engine, IF I saw the numbers produced on SuperFlo engine dyno or a Mustang chassis dyno, the next condition I'd want to know is what is the mean time to failure.Gnarls.
I don't believe that a different head gasket and ARP studs, and a "proper rebuild" (what, as opposed to the factory's improper build?) will "resolve" the inherent design flaw in those engines. A new head gasket of course will repair it.Gnarls.
As long as you are reasonable w/the boost no issues w/reliability. Most of the "boom" stories come from newbies who buy a used one, then crank up the boost w/o any idea of the state of the engine, then comp;lain when an HG goes.
Sorry Gnarly, I have to disagree with a turbocharged 22r not lasting as long. If you know what you're doing and use head studs and lower the compression it will easily last just as long as a N/A 22r. Toyota srewed up with their CT20 turbo. It was a bad design from the start and that's what caused lots of problems.
All I gotta say is Diesel
