boost and long trips?
 

Anyone with a supercharger ever taken a long trip.Up to about 10 hrs?On a stock bottom end i mean.I'm steadily saving money for a supercharger kit W/cooler and when it's installed I'd like to take a trip from Texas to Georgia.Just never heard of anyone driving that long of a distance with an aftermarket supercharger.Are there any issues to concider maybe like headunit temp problems?I just want to woop my brother in law's 91Gt.

Well I dont have a supercharger, but I have a TT set up. I drove for 7 hours from GA to NC and hand no problems what so ever. Just try to stay out of boost to keep your MPG up. Doing that I got 21mpg all the way home.

I drove mine from nashville to new orleons it was about an 8 hour trip one way. Had no problems at all. It got 19mpg doing about 90-100 the whole way there. I didnt get into boost much though. Youll be fine.

delaware to california 3 days of driving no problems. well on my last trip a pulley failed but i was back on the road in 3 hours... i also got 22-24 MPG in a auto with 373's goin 75.

do you guys have a intercooler/aftercooler? Just wondering if that makes a difference.

i have a cooler, but it doesnt matter though. when your cruising your not even in boost.

Driving a turbo or SC at highway cruise speeds is not much different that driving a car w/o one. Just watch your temps....it is running hot (which it should not), stay out of boost until it cools.

My car's water temp runs 170 - 190 degrees on the highway depending on outside temp, speed, and it there are hills. If I am on it, it can run 200 - 215.

Wow delaware to california in days. You must have driven all day and night with no rest breaks.

generally, for me highway is better, more airflow means lower temps generally. I've never had a problem going 5+hours on my supercharged setup OR my TT setup

werd 3 days. what i did was dangerous, yes. sleep deprived and no hotel stays. each trip the first day on the road was a 22-24 hour drive gas and food thats it. sleep for about 4-5 hours at some truck stop. then do it all over again. my last trip the ex-wife drove a few times. then she hit a retread and lost her driving privledges.
