Just to put it briefly, the point I was trying to make, is in the thread that got locked. People have a concern about a company that has never messed with a Duratec putting a turbo on one. On the other side, we have people with plenty of experience with the Duratec putting a turbo on one. It would be foolish to assume the Duratec is just like any other engine.
As you might know, having 15 years of experience with forced induction, engines are different. They react differently to forced induction. The Duratec is a "different" engine with features that make it unique. As for the oil problems with the Duratec, here is some proof. As for the components and specs, we will be making the decisions. If this was a turbo kit made by the CEG I would understand the need to in depth discussion. The only selling tools I need are the kit designers, dyno graphs, and actual satisfied customers. There are some things that WILL be left unknown to the consumer. Just call them "trade secrets".I'm very familiar with that thread and no where in it did anyone prove that there is any kind of design problem with the oiling system on the Duratech. Nor in any other thread on the the subject, only rumors,speculation and theories. Yes engines are different # of cylinders, # of camshafts # of valves, Types of combustion chambers, materials of construction etc. But they are all the same, they are all internal combustion engines and the same rules[physics] apply. ALL engines respond the same with forced induction[MORE POWER]however there may be different consaqeunces[spelling]but thats a different subject. Chris I'm sorry if somehow you got the impression that I wanted to have input as to what components you use, I certainly didnt mean to convey that. I just wondered what you were using. Trade secrets! There are no trade secrets to turbocharging. Turbocharging of engines have been going on for over a half a century. Listing the components you use in no way giving anything secret away, Its just good buisness. Let people know that they are getting a qaulity kit by telling them who's components you are using. I'm not trying to rain on your parade! I wish you all the luck in the world, but anyone ready to plop down 3 to 5 grand for a product should at least know beforehand what there geting for there money.
