how long do b18 motors last? i've seens ome go up to 160k mi for sale! thats crazzy coming from a former domestic fan who had to deal with teh fact that your car craps on you after 100k miles. what would be a good amount of mileage on lets say.. a 97 GSR or something around that range?

is it ok to modify a GSR with 100k+ miles on it?

 

honda motors can go 200k+ with regular maintence...

yes 100k for a gsr isnt bad, still modable

 

i have an ls b18b and it is scratching the surface of a 100k and im just starting to seriously mod it. as far as a gsr motor it all depends on how well it was taken car of in the past. like tngay said they can last over 200k with the proper care. so yes a b18 is good for a good while and 100k is still very good to mod.

 

there was someone here on ht that just reached 200k, wow

 

Not a b18 engine, but one Honda-Tech member is working towards a MILLION MILES!

 

just take care of ur car and it will take care of you

 

i've had every american car in my family die mysteriously at 120k miles, motor starts to go, tranny goes, electrical system has been repaired twice prior, etc it just seems a lil strange - but i'm learnin'! i think i like this honda stuff

to start modding a car at 100k - thats just cool to me

 

one of my friend had a 90 civic ex i think. 250k still rolling w/o a rebuilt and still running liek a champ.

 

Wil (owner of Exospeed) bought a bone stock 1990 Integra GS with 300,000+ miles on the original motor, I think he replaced the head at 360k+, and finally sold it with almost 400k on the block.

 

i have a 95 gsr, 174,000 miles still runs hard as hell....... But im going to rebuild it soon..

 

176k on my integra. running good till a rock rearranged my radiator.

what domestics were you getting? my mustang is over 240K and it's old. that sucker takes a beating and just won't die. engine rebuilt at 100k and it could eat my acura.

 

know someone that has 188k on a turbo gsr motor running 8psi for 20k miles and beats the dog **** out of it !!!!!!!!!

 

my pops' GSR has 190K of his miles on it

 

I just got done breaking mine in at 82xxx. I do about 1000 miles a week, so, I'm shootin for the 200k mark before I even consider getting a new car. Maybe...

 

personally, I am going for the high score... everything on the car can be replaced with better parts... milage dont mean anything if you can do your own work

whoa....wat u be doing 1k mile a week is a lot. the average person drives 15k a year...u must do 52k then

 

about 2 & 1/2 yrs. ago i bought a neglected 94 gsr, that eventually died on me w 170,000 mi. (dead) or so they thought. it arose frm. the dead w/ ITR pistons/rods, spoon oil pump, ACT clutch/flywhl. holley fuel pump , new distrbtr., spoon magtic. drain bolts & thermostat, skunk 2 short shifter w/ S2 shift **** , unorthodox pulleys, full msd ignition system, i just put some new whlz. & rubber on them 17" enkei rsv (bronze) w/ bfg g-force sports, tanabe exuast (looking for replacement), dc headers (looking for replacement), three angle valve job, and had everything balanced. took a while but it was well worth every penny (i have all the receipts). i have 187,000 mi. now and runs like a bat out of hell, literally......i do not neglect it & i'm far from done w/ it.
so to answer your question mine is probably going to run forever. but will only be possible w/ tender loving care. flying towrads 20k in no time at ludicrus speed (remember spaceballs)
im going to have pics up soon, since i'm new to the site & just got this computer. so take care of her and she'll take care of you for many years to come, i'm sure.
