my d16's got 107k miles. they arent abused miles at all. with good fuel management and tuning will i be ok? its my daily driver, wouldnt run over 8 psi. stock engine too.

 

do some more research. with some right tuning you should be fine at least up to 6lbs.

 

Its not so much milage as it is overall engine performance. Like does the engine smoke?? use coolant??? burn oil?? Do a compression check on the engine and even a leakdown test if you want to be safe. If these are good and the motor seems solid then you should be fine. Hondas are built real well and stay storng if they are taken care of. I tore apart an engine w/ 130k on it and it was in excelent shape.

hey thanks for the quick responses!! i guess i get a for not searching lol, i didnt think that it would have come up with anything, now i know

 

I have 125k on my 95 teg and I am going turbo next week. I will let you know then

 

130k D16z6 turbo here, but I don't daily drive it.

But it runs strong...

also, what is the difference between compression check and leakdown?

I say do it. I am fixing to turbo my LS with 224,XXX miles! Good luck with your setup!

 

It's not the mileage, it's the Quality.

If the motor is in good condition and has 200,000 miles you could boost it..

if the motor is in poor to fair condition and has 80,000 miles on it, it could blow if you boost it.

it all depends on how well the motor has been treated, and what condition it's in.

 

my wifes car has 179k and has been turboed since about 140k, and is a daily driver.

 

The difference between comp and leakdown is basicily that a leakdown shows you where and how much the cyl is leaking,where as a comp test only tells you what the cyl will hold.When u do a leakdown listen for where the air is leaking from,if from the dipstick or breather then the rings are bad,int mani or headers=bad valve job or bent valve.Leakdown will also tell you the condition of the cyl by having a gauge that states the amount of leakage in % terms.

 

turbo since 125k. only been a few thousand miles.

 

my friend just turboed his 93 dx with 158k miles....pulls and runs fine and its a daily driver

 

ahh, its good to hear all the positive results!! may i ask what you guys are using for fuel management?

 

turboed at 105xxx now 112xxx..daily driven. AFC hack here

 

i just put in my turbo at 138k mi

 

I am doing Hondata s200 w. boost. Inline Walbro Fuel Pump 255 High Pressure, and RC 550cc Injectors.
