Default how long will I last?

Hi,

I have a 40 K miles B18B1 stock internals integra.


I just put a T3 @ 6-8 psi for a 200 hp motor.

Giving that I won't beat the car like a maniac, that I will use it daily and make frequent oil changes,

how many miles do you think the motor can last ?


thank you

If the tuning is close maybe another 100 k or so.If the engine is running properly the engine will take those hp numbers for a long time.

It depends on the tune, health of the engine, and the maintinence, but I'd say it will last a long time...

LS engines are pretty strong and 6-8 pounds isn't much to throw at them... I bet you either get bored with 8 psi and turn it up, or move on to another car before your engine goes...

i think you should run more boost than that. It should be fairly reliable if done right
