| but it can be generalized that the average Z owner is unknowingly destroying their motor with excessive boost, high temps, lack of maintenance, lack of safeguards, etc. Go to a track with Z owners, guarantee you can point out oil starvation issues and ways you could have prevented it. when was the last time you checked your bearings? were you using a sump or just winging it, hoping for the best? hows your temps? running hot? why? hows that NA fan clutch on your TT treating you? hows your shrouds? dont have any? oh and a NA fuel pump? awesome..yeah run boost at 18 psi youll be fine. most people want to go fast and fix what breaks. kinda futile when the first thing that goes is your rod bearings. no one cares about oil pressure, but boost pressure omg yes 16 pounds yo thats gay do 18psi yo. only 450 whp dude youre gay turn up the boost on the street, the average young and broke z owner most likely has more money in go fast mods than maintenance. recipe for disaster. its predictable since the whole point of buying this car instead of a civic is to look fast and be fast in the McDs parking lot this applies universally. people wonder why they get into accidents in the rain, going fast, etc. take a look at their suspension and tire condition then ask again. " my engine blew up" "when did you do your 120k" "whats that" "i hate you"
