new motor or rebuild at 90k miles?

[justin1892]

debating on a new motor or rebuild, anyone with experience have an opinion? and also a good set up to go with the big 16g i got, injectors, intercooler, ect. , running on stock right now, with the turbo already bolted up

i would get a 6-Bolt motor from RRE or SBR because i dont think you want to dump alot of money in a 7-bolt and have a chance (knock on wood) it will crankwalk on you.

rebuild at 90,000 why?

ran it on 20psi with the stock fuel system, leaned it out, started knocking

Just go find a used 6 bolt. They will go forever.

Mine had 180,000 on the bottom end, before I got bored and rebuilt it for fun. Just to up the compression of the pistons.

Still running on the same main bearings. No need to change them no crank play.

Yea mine has 190,000 miles on it... has a blown turbo... but the engine is fine, has like 140ish compression.. which I think for all the abuse it has been though and that many miles is very good.
