Ls1 FD3s

Probably NOT the smartest thing to do, let alone even consider it. The engine has been stock all its life with just a aem short ram intake. Regular oil changes and never beat on, used as a daily mule for 100% of its life. Even if compression/leakdown checks out,,, think its remotely possible to squeeze 250whp outa her?
Aside from pistons,rings, bearings, rods, rod studs,,, im sure the valves are worn as hell, same with the guides, seals, springs and so on. im sure bringing it to 9k all of the sudden will be a shock to its system. Kinda like making an old fart gap a 60ft double on a MX bike... I dont want to spend the money to rebuild it, because i have my Rx7 project. Think i should just go for it and hope for the best? Or fugg it, and boost my b18b i have hidden in my garage with 78k?
Or go the cheapest route and get new OEM rings, all new bearings, seals and guides?

if the engine runs fine and is in good mechanical shape....boost away.

thats my theory too.

I would also have to agree with that statement.

ya lol... do a comp test, fix all your leaks (if you have any) and go nuts

I'd be pissed if i blew a gsr motor though lol those things are pricey.

Boost it, my old motor had like 215,000 miles on it and i boosted it and it ran perfect, i recently took out the motor though cause i need more power.

215k? DAMN. I thought 198k was the highest mileage gezzer i have ever heard of. Then boosted on top of the 215k, crazy man.

man my 123k z6 is just a baby

Boost it, sure why not? It will need a rebuild soon anyways, might as well go out in style.

basically from what i understand there are quite a few 200k+ mile cars out there in H-T land.

Only found ls's though, no gsr's

thats becouase nobody is stupid enough to blow up a god gsr lol but hey its all good. But if i could i would at least put arp head bolts in becouase that will be the first thing to go i garrantie it and while you have the head off put in a new head gasket. of cource run a leak down and compretion test b4 hand alrighty. well there you go that should do have fun.

my friend boosted his b18c1 @ 216k miles... he beated on it because he wanted an excuse to rebuild the motor ... but to no avail, the car is still running like a champ

i got 156k on my ls and it doesnt burn any oil yet. Milage aint nothing but a number. Just boost that thing.
