Thread: Daily Driven Turbo Owners -- Check In!

ah, that is not too bad. Again from peoples posts on here they get worse.

Whats going to make mine even more fun is the new Twin Disk clutch. But im pretty used to heavy engaging clutches. Ive driven a couple twin disks before and they are not too bad.

I feel you, my third stripped 2 or so weeks ago haha

I daily drive the **** out of my Turbo B13. EVeryday I get in the car I say to myself I'm gonna chill today and stay in vaccum all day. That usually lasts until I get out of my neighborhood.

Lol. Same here, but I wait till I'm 10 feet out of my driveway then I leave strips down the street. My neighbor has a 500+whp Nova so I like to piss him off. He won't race me tho. :/

LOL. I remember those days. It used to work for me until a car 2-3 times in value started to attempt to take advantage of the little b13 that could. Then I had to flex the turbo muscle...

I'll be DD'ing mine again soon, as soon as it's on the road legally 40MPG here we come! Tired of filling up the truck every 3~4 days.

DD for 5 years running now, close to 60,000 miles with the engine. The only problems I have had are the ones I have made for myself with "upgrades" that did not address everything that needed to be upgraded. (Trans hasn't had a hiccup [knocks on wood]) That and just wear items that go bad with time.

The just as soon as oil temps hit 160*, the flogging of the engine is fair game

3 years strong .... im proud to put together a reliable turbo car that works everyday fires up one shot that can run 12s and my mother can drive it with no issues!

When my SE-R was boosted, I daily drove that thing without blinking an eye. Over 4 years, and almost 50k miles. Hell, I even still ran ice cold A/C in that bad boy in the summer, and chugged through the snow and salt in the Jersey winters.

I'm not sure what my problem was but that thing blew through clutches like it was its job. One time I did have to replace it just because it simply wasn't holding the power (after upping to 14psi and adding S4 cams).

The turbo fun came to an end when it developed rod knock. I pulled the DET and dropped in a VE, which years later I have come to regard as a mistake.

Nonetheless, any modded car will give you its fair share of issues. Especially on a platform that is older than the newest licensed drivers on the road In the end, if you are ultimately concerned about reliability, I'd say don't go turbo. Taking a car and doubling its horsepower/torque will never make a car more reliable lol! And its definitely not giving you peace-of-mind reliability...unless you like lying to yourself.

Daily Driven B13 Turbo here. And I mean Daily Driven as in the only car I have. Granted, I OWN a Versa as well...but that's become my Fiancee's car.
