Roddimus Prime is on a distinguished road

Juan is the man. Hey Juan, any idea yet on price? Will it be similar to the protege kits? What turbo did you finally settle on? How much boost? Who do you love baby?

Hey have you heard of the SpeedSix coming out soon? It is a turbo 2.3 with 274 horses under the hood. Will this kit be anything close to that?

No, the Speed 6 motor is different in terms of internal parts (piston and rods) the block is of a stronger mold construction but very simular. Juan can elaberate on that.

So the 2.3 engine coming out in the SpeedSix is different than the one in the 3? That sucks...

the question is this. How long will our stock internals last on moderate boost and normal driving? The engine hasn't been out long enough to see any long-term testing, but I say give it a year, and we'll know. (How many blow engines show up.)

gotya, If juans previous turbo kit is any indication there will be no problems. I've been around for about 3 years and I've NEVER seen a bown HiBoost car....never. That's even using the wimpy fs-de engine. This new duratec is a lot more boost friendly.
