122,000 miles on my 95 civ ex should i boost it or get a new motor? I kinda wanna boost the d16z6 in my car tho cause i dont know of anyone around me that has done it.

 

get a new motor then giv me yours! j/k, 122k is fine for boost, just dont run more than your motor can take

 

I wouldn't do it b/c I have a buddy who boosted a z6 with 130+ on the odometer and he got about 15-20 miles down the road and then threw a rod through the block....I wouldn't do it with that many miles...

BTW he did have a boost controller and it was the GReddy kit....

 

Boost it. If you blow it, so what. D series are cheap. You could use a new one anyway.

w3rd...i'm about to boost my 130,xxx motor. just keep the boost levels low until you get some good fuel management and eventually rebuild (if you want)

 

how about 172,000?

boom!

 

i don't think milage is the only thing you should take into account, if a lot of that 122k has been done on the motorway at low rpm and it been properly serviced it will have similar wear to a much lower milage car which has been hammered and perhaps not serviced as well....

Well said. So what if you kill a $200.00 engine...buy a new one.
