Reliability of turbo on Vector/Nytro Engine

[ccrider]

Tried to search for this but couldn't seem to find what I wanted....

What is the relaiblity of these turbos on the 3 cyl engine? How many miles have people put on these? Any fried engines? I know that you can run really high boost and that obviously decreases reliability, but I am wondering how long a simons cpr or bender system running 8-10lbs will last???

I helped tune a 05 Vector with a Simons CPR front mount. It was running stock compression on pump fuel. That sled was ridden to the pin all afternoon long on our test track & never once over heated or had any issues. I am looking at turboing a Rage for my next project.

i ran mine all last winter just over 1000km on it turboed not one issue few little tunning things that i got strait now.pulled it apart to put bigger shim to run more boost & it looks flawless .i know a few guys with 2-3 thousand km on theres without any issue on the mcx kit running at 12 pounds boost 205-210hp.

I put about 1500 miles on my Mtn Vector on 50/50 91/100 octane at 14#,s boost. No problems
