How long have you been turbo'ed?
I guess we can't have poll's in 'tech forums' 
Just wondering how many miles you have on your turbo'ed motor.
Just wondering how long I might expect my GSR motor to last 6psi with greddy blue box ( i know i know no $$$ for hondata) ?
Also post any major problems you've had. Thanks
Thanks

25k miles on GSR with Greddy turbo and blue box. Hard to believe the Hondata 2B has been sitting in the garage waiting for over a year now.
No problems thus far, other than one faulty Earl's fitting on the oil feed line.

Re: (dirtySOHC's)
25.5 K and about 18 mos of boosting 5-6 psi on stock d16y8. best and cheapest mods that made a lot of difference on the car.
i live in a place where it doesn't get any hotter than 82 degree all year round...
oh yeah this is my daily driver and never took it to the track...
i drive the car up to 5K RPM daily and once in a while ill go all the way to redline...
only problem i've had was o2 sensor, oil sending unit leaked, and missing link was dirty.
my clutch still holds but i know that i would definitely benefit from a new and upgraded clutch.

Re: (metal-x)
10k miles of abuse on my stock b18b.. I am ******* amazed at how much abuse I can give this engine, I do tons of 4th and 5th gear pulls and my engine is still doing great. Time to start boosting 12 PSI...

I know its not good for an engine, cylindrical temps can get extremely high at such a high load It's a stock engine that will be getting sleeved and built when it blows so I am not concerned, its utterly amazing that the stock engine can handle such abuse. I have a tuned EMS and my AFR runs high 11s at full boost in 5th gear, EGT temps never exceed 800C, timing is conservative and lots of measures have been taken to make it relatively safe on the engine... I am not just some dick with an FMU setup doing top speed runs

Re: (mskibbz-T)
10,000 since February on a 99' Si greddy turbo kit (7-9psi), blue box, and stock internals. And I kick the cars *** everyday. I keep saying that I don't want to rebuild but I guess I'm asking for it subconsciously.
