i have 180K original miles on it. The motor and tranny is in really good condition. If i boost 6psi on stock internals and if i do not rev high, how much risk is there into messing anything up. Or what are some internals that i should change in order for it to be somewhat reliable

 

not even worth it huh?

yea, i know. i was just curious

 

lol if its not a daily driver i say boost that bitch into the ground then just buy a new motor =D its eeeeeeasy!!!

 

Is the compression good on the motor ? if it is then i would think its safe , just as long as you don't floor it all the time

 

180k is just getting the engine warmed up

Go for it, and treat her right.

Good Luck...Let us know how the rebuild goes.

 

You need to do a compression test and make sure you're not burning a lot of oil.

 

so did this LS get boosted? My LS is in the same boat and i want to know how it went

 

if you whant it to last do it right the first time and get a good engine manegment and get it tuned by a pro. it'll last alot longer.

 

each car is unique and each has its own history behind it..just because he has 180k miles on his and you have 180k miles on your doesnt mean its going to be the same....but do a compression test.etc..etc....and good luck

well said.
ive heard of people boosting their Ls (stock motor) with 10+ psi. Sure if you beat it alot its going to break down. They all say its about TUNING, remember to get it tune right and you should be fine. Im in the same boat with my 150k motor looking to boost after winter ends by next year

 

thanks for all the info

 

i have 165k on my rs and im in the process of boosting it. I got the comp. test done first and the numbers were real good. so i decided to go for it. It really just depends on the condition of your motor. You could even have a 50k motor and it might not be safe to boost if it was beaten to hell....

 

pay the cash for a good tune and u should be fine if u run 6 psi this topic comes up all the time on this forum
