Ok well i dont believe a proper built turbo engine will have to be rebuilt ever 150 miles, that seems real unreasonable. I didnt sau i didnt have the right amount of money to buiod up right, just nt the ability at the moment to save up 2-3000 dollars at once(i',m still young). And all these heating probs you speak of which can be fixed would happen on any turbo car including the grandnational which costs say at least 6000. You dont see this car nor talons and eclipse's or most other rubo cars dieing 150 miles off the lot. Being that i am building a engine from block up it will be like a new engine, so i cant see rebuilding it a few times a year. Realy not gonna happen nor do i think it will need it. If you build a turbo engine right it will last. As for the block itself it is cast iron just like all of the lil ricers turbo engines that can pull 12-13's all day and yet still hit 100+k miles on there odometer. So i cant see why a properly built larger engine cant do so also. Soo with this cooling issue again buy a few things like sayy
1)intercooler
2)oil cooler
3)water injection
And now a days oil baking on the turbine is just sloppy way of doing thing, we now have turbo timers that cost all of 100 dollars to prevent that.
Ohh and i may be considering using a 351 now that i hear that it is much stronger of a block and can handle upwards of 1000hp.
