EnDLesS Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I have 97 LX450 with 150k on it mostly highway driven state to state ~ NYC to LA My big concern will the motor still be able to hold up with another add 60hp? Or should i have major tuned up with all the pistons & rings? Really big consider on this because its not cheap at all... to readjust all the them. By the way, right now my LX 450 motor running perfectly fine.. i had all the Synthetic oil all over since i bought the car brand new 7 years ago.. :P Mobil 1 10-30 ~Motor Oil Mobil 1 75-90 ~Gear Diff lubricant Mobil 1 Syntheic~ ATF fluid please need professional advice & suggest on this, thanks
GRD Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Your 450 engine has some miles. Before you add a blower, you should have compression leak-down test done. With the added pressure, anything worn will show it's head with the added compression produced from the boost. If you keep the boost to the kit specs, your engine should last as long as without the boost. You will need to use the highest octane fuel available in your area. Contact TRD. They will be able to answer your specific questions. Have fun, George LX 470 LS 400
