forged daily driver?

[rory_ep91]

as above just wondering is anyone running a forged gt/glanza as a daily driver and are they relieable?

thanks in advance

As long as they are built and mapped correctly they will be 100%. We offer 1 years warrenty on any engine spec'd, built, fitted and mapped by us.

Yeah i do 80 miles a day in mine to work and back and its td04.... No probs yet

 

[98_glanza]

i use my car as a daily too never any major issues but its always handy to have a runaround too in case somethin does go wrong

 

[Iain@CRD]

If anything they are more than reliable than a standard engine.

 

[GT_TURBO MAN CAN]

should they not be far more reliable?

 

[HYBRID]

mines been forged for over 45,000kms now.. i still use it daily and compete regularly in qtm events..

if you stick to servicing it, using the fuel it was mapped on, and have a good build and map then i dont see why it should be unreliable.

For a very reliable forged motor how often do you people change oil?

 

[Iain@CRD]

I normally change around every 3000-4000miles.

Every 1000 miles I changed mine, but then I had a short jourey to work so didn't do many miles...also i could get oil at cost price

Why did the engine fail mate oil pump or flat out abuse

 

[rory_ep91]

thanks for the info lads, just wanted to know before i go spending money

flat out abuse cornering too fast too hard on the brakes moving oil away from the pik up too much and starving the bearings

 

[Rory]

You must have an oil pressure gauge to watch for that then? Or how would you know?
Ive yet to see low pressure problems on track, even with sticky tyres...
