I might get another car, probably a second gen Integra...one thing I've noticed is that a lot of them have around 120,000-130,000 miles. Is that still safe for turbo???

 

ask jinxproff99 he had likea 150k miles gsr and ran like 11's on a stock motor with boost.

 

go get a compression and cylinder leakdown test.

 

 

If it runs fine you can boost it. At least that is my opinion.

I know I can sure ruin a car in 10k miles! hehe. Mileage doesn't mean anything.

 

I'm at 99k miles and my motor is still going good. But the trans on the other hand has seen better days. I knew this would happen though. Who knew an automatic tranny wouldn't like 10 lbs of boost?

 

i slapped on my kit at 115,000 miles.

 

miles aren't very indicative of the condition on honda motors

get the leakdown and compression tests and go from there

 

it should be fine! i put turbo on my 94 ls/vtec around 145,000 milese on it and it was fine! still is, its all about how you treat the car!

 

That is very true. My 95 Si has almost 140K on it, been turbocharged since it's second month.. I got it for 4K, couldn't beat it. Car is a champion. Honda's are very strange when it comes to mileage... I can't figure out why..

 

i posted a topic on boosted motors with high miles. The out come of everyone was to do like what was said above and do the tests. Do the routine maintenance on the ride and then you can join the dark side. honda/acura motors are pretty stout and should hold up if the motor is up to it. Every motor is different like fingerprints. No two can be identicle unless engineered with precision at the same time.
