***How long has your built motor lasted?***
I got some people telling me not to turbo a built d16 and just swap in a b18c, because of reliability and I'm kind of having second thoughts. Post up your setup how long your motors have lasted on boost. I just need some reassurance, Thanks.

Hmm, let's reply here.
Stocker lasted 3 hours, down for 1 year.
Rebuilt stocker lasted 1 month, down for 3 months
Built motor lasted 3 days <clutch broke, not motor> I kept it down for 6 months fixing all kinds of other things, also.
Not to sound like I'm down on my Honda, I've got 2 other cars to putter around in, but not enough money to keep the Honda running ALL the time. I take my time, and I've been trying to do things right lately

I've got a b16 w/ je pistons and a drag kit, going on one year and ~15,000 miles. Not a problem out of the motor.

13mos, 21,000 miles but I my stock sleeves or the SRP pistons arn't liking 15-17psi very much. Its time to build a real built motor with sleeves and make it a 2.0 this time.
