What to look for if boosted?
What to look for if boosted?
If I were to get this kit... what should I look for in the near future? As in, what problems will occur or that I should be aware of after I put on a kit like this?
After 10K miles?
20K?
What PSI to keep the engine under control... like from breaking the internals... 10psi?

to be honest i dont know rotary nearly at all, however a common probem with near ALL turbo setups, constantly monitor your tune, and watch for vacumme leaks. simple leaks can cause irritating problems, and bad tunes will blow motors...
Do also keep in mind that turbos, superchargers, and nitrous all have one thing in common: it is just like taking a sledgehammer to your piston/rotor. That's the amount of force that is put on the things, hence why most people go through motors so often. After how many miles, I don't know, it all depends on how much boost and how hard you run it. Keep that part in mind.
It all comes down to what kind of condition the engine is in to begin with, how much you push, use, the turbo and the tuning. Asking how long long the engine will last is the same as asking what day will you die. Depends on how you take care of yourself, your family history and how careful you are.
Either way, always expect to spend more money than you planned, that is a given consequence of modding.

Thats my kit that I'm selling. You just have to be sure you have plenty of fuel to keep combustion temps down and also retard the timing. I ran 10 degrees. Start off with low boost a work your way up. You are probably going to want to get a wideband so you can accurately monitor your a/f ratios.
Thanks for you guys' inputs... after thinking about it... if anything happens. I can't afford to maintain it yet if there's any problems... *knock on wood*
I will just wait til I have a better job and saved more money... thank you all!
