Hey just a fun question about you guys and your cars.

Whats the mileage on your boosted motor and how much power do you make?

I'll start,
193k na (for now), so no power :P

my car has been boosted since ~35-40k miles, its now got 95k and still going strong with no oil burning and tight compression. 175rwhp the last time dynoed on 6psi with no IC yet.

Car was boosted @ 170K kms -- Motor lasted until 220K kms.... The motor was beat on pretty good before the blower.... for example... 22 degree timing for 4 years (yes I know... lable dumb-*** now.... my fault... but ah well)....

Now, I've got the new motor -- used 94 bottom end, with 50K miles, and head from a '97 with the similar mileage....

Cars now rolling into 235K kms... and doing perfectly fine.....

Dave,

227K miles, but I haven't dynod yet. I am currently at 8 psi, but am turning it up to 12 psi when I get my new clutch and rear end in. I would guess 160-170 hp at the wheels right now. Goal is 200+.

sbrian, is that original engine miles?

Yep, but it has had the crank replaced by the previous owner after a short nose failure. What kills me is that he didn't go any further than that. Stll has original rings and all. I hit 229K a few weeks ago. Hopefully, the new clutch and rear end will be installed in a few weeks. I'll be in Valdosta, GA at the SCCA national this weekend, have a rallycross next weekend, and a 2 day autocross the weekend after that, then maybe I can get to it.

175k mi,

Did a short nose crank replacement, and rebuild about 10k ago(though it didnt NEED the rebuild yet, we did it while we were in there). Only a few hundred boosted @5-6PSI.
