I have a b18a1 with around 130,000 miles on it and was wondering how bad it would be to run forced induction on it. I would like to hear what you guys have to say about it. Experiences, comments??

thanks for the help

 

chek your compression(leak down test) then boost it

 

Exactly. Mileage is just a number. Its all about the condition of the motor.

 

 

If my b18a1 had that many miles I would boost it
at over 200,000 miles it still has 2-3% leak and 185-195psi across the board.

Besides proper fueling, failure to adjust timing properly for boost will kill it faster than you can say retard. Just sayin' that because its how most old boosted LS motors end up.

 

I have 160k miles on my z6 and it burns a little bit of oil above 6k rpms, do you think i would be good too as long as compression checks out or should i rebuild?

... and making sure you keep it running good.

 

I got 178600 miles on my hf crx and I just boosted it. Each cylinder read over 185 on a compression test. Been 500 miles and no problems.
