I started off with 150,XXX, to 170,666(I will never forget the last 3 digits) It ran really really stronge till the last mile, the reason it blew was cause of a bad boost controller. I am trying to post pictures, but I cant get it, but when I can I will post the pic of the melted piston.

I have a B18B with over 170,000 on it. I boosted at 150,000. I ran anywhere from 5 to 12psi...never had a problem...
I sent a spare B18a block to JG to have it done, and thats what I will be using in my new setup listed in my sig...

Are you on stock internals? What's in your setup? I was looking to boost my gsr when summer time comes.

I put my kit on with 126,XXX on the odometer and I now have about 127,9XX... I plan on keeping the boost low for reliability...

That is mis-information. A car is as good as it is treated. I hope this thread changes your mind about what you said.

I agree. It last as long as you take good care of it. How dedicated are you? Change your oil, tighten those bolts, add good fuel, check you lines and hoses, and eat your vegetables. etc..

take care of you car, and your car will take care of you.
