how often will I have to rebuilt
I have a B18B in 92 civic HB, has high mileage...
going to turbo soon, how often will I have to rebuilt the engine(if it blows)? when I run 8-9psi with stock internals?
I guess what are the chance that the engine will break?

Since you haven't mentioned any form of fuel management... I'd say your chances are 100% of blowing your engine. And your rebuild frequency will probably be about as often as you blow your motor.

Since yo have high miles i would recomend that you start saving up for a rebuild/build.If you run it how it is now everything will be fine but it will just speed up the wearing out process.Say your rings are starting to lose there seat the turbo will just aid in them wearing out faster.Now on the other hand if you rebuild the engine (or build it) you will be fine for a long time IF it's tuned properly and you don't get stuipid (like 90% of the peole who blow their engines under boost) and crank the boost beyond the engines capabilities.You could easily see 100,000 + miles before you would need to rebuild the engine.As long as you run safely you should have no problems.
