High mileage boosted guys, where you at??
I'm just curious to see how many miles you guys have on your turbo setup car, mostly people with over 100,000 miles. I'm more into looking at stock bottom end guys, but if you have a lot of miles on a built bottom end, post that up too. Thanks.

Do you mean turbo setups with over a 100k on the setup, or on the engine before boosting? If the later, then as long as the engine is in good shape it'll take the boost. Make sure you get a proper tune.

My Integra had 170,000 miles on it before i put the turbo on. I ran good for about 4k miles and then it was stolen..so idk how much longer it lasted..haha

I've got a low boost SC61 setup on a stock long block Neon motor right now with about 140k on it. It's got decent cams (Crane 18s), and I run it on MegaSquirt standalone on pump gas. Wastegate's set for about 11psi, but it creeps up above 7k RPMs. I ran it at the drag strip once in the fall last year exactly how I drive it to work and it made 13.5 @ 110 on a 2.3 60 foot. I drive it to work pretty much every day. So far no problems.

I had a b20vtec with a 150k on the bottom end. I ran it up to 8k rpms @ 15psi it made it about 6 oil changes so I would say 12k miles before the rings went but nothing was hurt when the rings went. Funny thing is I have a gsr tranny with 197k on it and I have never changed a thing on it and it still is running good!

On my del sol i had 184,xxx when turbo went on and it started to use lots of oil at about 196,xxx. I think if the motor has been taken care of before boost and you have it tuned conservative you should be fine.

dayumm....i got about 205k on my d17 now, it's stock but tranny only has 20 000km on it, you think it can handle like 8-10 boost for awhile? and how long would you say? Considering piecing together a modest turbo kit....
