Mileage

[eclipseturbo7]

I have a 99 GST with intake , exhaust, the car is running alright except for the idling... But my question is that I was planning to upgrade the stock turbo, and upgrade the fuel and all that, and i was wondering with that mileage, will the motor hold up? What would you guys recommend I do in order to upgrade the turbo and have a reliable setup...

And the mileage is?

Hehe... good question.. Forgot to put it.. Its actually 90 000.

We cant really tell u that.
Compression will give u an idea but u dotn know the condition of the bearings or what not.


I have a 92 galant gs that i put a turbo on it has 150k miles i put like 4 k miles with a 14b at 10 psi no problem yet but i know it will blow eventually.

my point is dont go spending money on upgrades unless u havem oney to fix the motor.

It would suck real bad having all nice mods and u cant drive the car around because u blew ur motor.

I have my 1g with 160,000 miles... running at 18psi daily, and 25psi on track day. No problems yet.

I dont know, how would be the best way to go about it, because i really wanna upgrade the turbo, but dont know if its worth it with 90 000 miles.. What if i change the rods, pistons, and do the bottom end along with the turbo... Any suggestions?

you're not going to get a definitive answer. the condition of the engine should be the determining factor, not just mileage

 

[eclipseturbo7]

Well.. the engine is in good condition.. the only thing thats going bad is the bullshit stock t 25 turbo... besides that the motor is in good condition..

You have exactly 9,217 miles left before it blows up

THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER
