Anyone ever seen an em1 hit 250k miles?

That sir is a lot of miles.

I've never seen a b16 hit 250k. I'm sure it's happened, but it's a lot more high strung than an LS or d series motor.

Holy wow that's a lot!

My EM1 has around 250,000kms (156,000ish miles). But I did rebuild the motor around 200,000kms.

One of my friends si has 270+ on original motor. Doesnt smoke at all

Seems like the prices for em1 have fallen off drastically. Most likely due to the K20 craze. I always have my eyes open for a nice stock ebp, but it's a leprechaun hunt. Never gonna find one... :/

I would love to buy another EM1 just to have it for a DD.

hows the gas mileage for u guys? im getting about 220 miles on a full tank and i mosly do highway driving and always keep it under 4k rpms....

So raise your car, simplest answer really. I ran into that problem after building my turbo motor, the DP was barely off the ground. So I raised it, and haven't looked back. There's a point where a car is too low to be useful, you know?

Meh I plan on keeping my car low to the ground and I am running a 3 inch downpipe, buddy of mine custom made it so it hugged the oil pan so it won't sit so close to the ground.

That's pretty damn bad... I get 30-31mpg, and that's mixed driving between highway and in town. Something must be wrong with your car.

i get like 33mpg with my 2.0L 500hp em1, something is either wrong or you need a tune

gsrturbo-ek

ketchup!

Hey guys, I just picked up a EBP 2000 SI with "81xxx" for 4500.
The reason wy I say "81xxx" is because it has an EX cluster in it and thats what the guy told me, so theres no proof.

Anyhow, the car is pretty riced out, I'm looking to turn it back to OEM as much as I can. I'm all the way here in Guam. So with that said, I'm looking for a few things and hope maybe you all can help me out seeing how most of you have EM1's

I'm looking for oem tail lights, the clear or amber ones (would prefer the amber ones, the 96-98 EX lights)
Also OEM shift ****. it has a "hype r" shift **** in it now.
SI cluster
OEM intake


Thats really it for now. I'll post some photos tomorrow to show you how bad it is. Willingly I'll have it right here in the next few weeks so i wont be covering my face when I drive it LOL. I really need these parts though. Then Maybe I can join your crew. LOL

Also I need people willing to ship to Guam, because thats where I am currently stationed and wil be for a while.

The k swap treats me well on MPG I got about 36mpg on the way home from IA and the tune was a little on the rich side. I <3 the K!
