Im still on my stock bottom end, been turboed over 2 years now,over 20k miles -star stage I with an added starquest ic. I have a compeletly unefficient fuel system. For a year and half, i didnt have an egt gauge, stock injectors, 8psi, stage I fuel system. I would do long highway pulls, not realizing the temps i was running. I cant believe the motor still runs well, gets a little oil on my ic piping once in a while...I think my little 420a should have bit the dust long ago, considering the abuse it took. How long did your motor last?

So far, it's been 67000 miles in just over 3 years. I may have some slight problems, but overall it still runs fine. I'm in the process of rebuilding a spare though so I can turn the boost up more.
star stage 2, stock fuel system, 8psi.

Not "impressive" more like lucky most would say. I was just running and S-AFC, and thats it. I richened the mix up a bit, but I didnt really know what I was doing to be honest.

About 6 months then tried to test the limitations of my motor. Blew at 11psi on a long highway pull, plus I had the money to do a rebuild and just needed a good reason to do it.

My first motor i had NOS on it.. all stock internals 50shot... I blew the shit out of my rings... I had bought the car with 54,000 miles put NOS on it at around 60,000 the engine went around 64,000... that was my first motor.. second rebuild i had J&E pistons crower rods the entire works.... my damn machine shop screwed up so i only got about 700miles out of her.... this time around I'm having the same setup but by a BETTER machine shop that does quality work... and also have a new head with SI valves ported polished etc... I hope it will last awhile.
