After how many miles it a bad idea to boost a car? Im thinking about getting a project car and want to know what mile range I should look at. I dont know if I am ready to tackle a rebuild just yet.

Im sure it really depends on the type of motor but Im gonna go out on the limb and guess your talking about a Honda.

i hope to God he isnt talking about his probe.

HAHA... umm. no

buugiewuugie

No and no. Not the probe. Nor the grand am. I am looking for a project.

But wait whats wrong with boosting a probe? they actually made turbo probes. And they are not too bad. There was a turbo probe at nopi that ran 12's with not too much work

blah

What kind of car/engine.

If you want to be another jackass with a 'secret project', then my answer is 700k miles.

lol. i really dont know. I guess its a pretty vague question. Im looking for a project. The only thing I have come across so far is a white 240sx and i believe its a 4cyl? its got like 130k there is no tranny but the motor is pretty strong.

Edit: I believe its about a 95.

Hell, for a 240 just get an SR to swap into it. You'll even get a tranny with it.

guess ill look that up.

whats cool is my buddy works for his dads shop and they have had it sitting there for the longest time.. they are going to let me buy it REAL cheap.
