If the engine at 80K is so worn out that a little boost of pressure at the intake will blow it up, then I wouldn't have any modular engine by Ford in my stable. The modular engine is tough, economical and very reliable and at that low mileage is hardly broken in.

If the engine has been well maintained, runs well, does not make noise or burn oil, then installing a supercharger or turbo charger at low boost, say 6psi, will not destroy the engine nor will it significantly reduce service life.
For simplicities sake a custom supercharger kit would be the way to go. Superchargers driven off the crank will cost you a little fuel mileage; a turbocharger will return up to a 10% improvement in fuel mileage depending upon driving habits.

In my estimation you have to balance the high cost of the conversion against what you can expect as an increase in performance....in the long haul it may not be worth the effort.

 

You're being a little melodramatic. There is some truth to what you're saying, however if the powertrain is healthy (ie: inspection, leak-down test, compression test, etc.) and you know what the limits of your machine is then you shouldn't have many issues.

 

thanks for the imput guys really helps me out

 

Getting of topic kinda but the Eco motor will still be good at 200000 miles on it is do we have to wait and see?

 

If that is the case I guess I better go pull the pro charger off my corvette....... If the engine is healthy before then it is all in the tune

 

I dont really understand, is this a question or a statement?

 

Find Blown Ford in the 2004-2008 section........his is BLOWN...........pm him about mileage.......he has original motor...........but will the trans hold?

 

I don't know really I was just wondering?

 

Too early to say I think. We'll find out over the next 2-3 years. The turbos themselves are another story.

 

Ok what the other story? Jw
