i wrecked my eg a few months back, now im currently getting ready to purchase a si. the si im looking at is a 2000 with 49k miles. thats alot of miles on a 2000 and im worried, but the car has been certified and it has no scratches or dings. my question is in the long run will i need to do an engine swap so i can apply a turbo kit. can a turbo kit be applied with an engine running 90k miles. or with 49k miles is it still condsidered new? when does a engine with a turbo wear down?

 

if no one ends up helping u here, try going to the forced induction forum, they'll be able to help you for sure

 

if you take care of it, it should run to 200k on a turbo. just make sure you do everything right. dont overboost, make sure you have a good fuel supply, dont run it to the red at every stoplight. good oil etc etc

 

i have one forsale and im only about 4hrs from you.

2000 fbp Si with 23k miles. mods are in my sig.

IM me if your interested.

miles are fine, as long as the internals check out. do a compression test before you install a turbo kit.

 

... anything is possible, at worst when you boost it rebuild it.

 

You can always pull a compression test on it to check it out.

 

How much are they asking for the car?

 

If you're looking to do a motor swap or turbo kit, I think it would be better to get a 96+ EK hatchback..They are much cheaper..
