    Default How Long before it explodes

    I have a B18b1 bone stock internals. T3\T4E 60trim turbo at 11psi. I don't drive it like its stolen but i do step on it. I've read alot of post here on AI and there seem to be a few people that at least act like they know it all. Well here is you chance to test you skills. How long do i have to build my other engine before this stock one blows up?

    if its tuned well, it can last a couple years. dont drive like a moron, get a good tune, and it will be reliable.

    IT could last 1 day or for years. How well is it tuned? How many miles are on the motor? How healthy was the motor before you turboed it?

    The motor has around 100k miles on it. I pulled it out of a automatic sedan. I'm using hondata S200 tuned by Ed at Balanced performace. At 11psi its making 247hp.

    should last a while depending on your driving style.

    depends on how you drive it. I've seen 7psi b18 turbo'd cars last 6 months. I've seen 9psi cars last 2+ years. Don't be an asshat and it should last you a bit of time.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
