I have 54 thousand miles on my motor and am looking at adding FI to it and was wondering if that was too many miles on the motor. There is nothing currently wrong with it and it has always had Mobil 1 synthetic.
Thanks

thre are people that added turbos after 80k miles i believe. im planning on doing it after 60k. from what i know it should be fine. maybe do a compression test or wutever it is to make sure your engine is in fine standings.

 

if it passes a leakdown AND a compression test, then you should be OK. You could always send your oil out for analysis as well... with all this information from these 3 tests you could confidently decide if you want to turbocharge the higher mileage engine.

 

I recently (Janurary 1st) turbo'd at 54K, I did a compression test before and everything was good. No issues thus far...

 

If your motor is strong, you can have a 100K.

My dad started to mod his 300zx at around 60k miles and was running 450rwhp all the way until 140k...ran real strong.(not the same engine, but a testament to Nissans longevity.)

 

i wanted to wait till i hit 100k and get my car paid off then i want to do a complete build top to bottom and turbo do you think that is a bad idea or should i do as soon as i get it paid off i will be paid off in 2 years and i have 43000 miles on it now and i also have to 100k mile extended warrenty

 

It depends on entirely on you, and your financial situation. I dont think anyone can answer the above question, except for you.

If your engine is healthy, FI should be fine, regardless of miles.

 

Thanks guys for all the advice. Im going to be doing it in the next few months but not in time for ZCON. I think im going to take it up to GRD for the instalation and tuning. Anything closer yall can recommend???
Thanks

OMG miles I have a ton of them already Sharif after all those canyon runs we had and driving across the U.S. twice I'm at 84k so far.

 

oh snap!!! you drive tooooooo much... 80k+ in 3 years!?!? ahhhhh

 

Half those mile were driving thru the god forsaken state of Texas on I-10.....Jeez that state is huge

 

I-10 never ends. Ok well I guess im going to have the teest the oil

 

AHHHHHHHHhh i hate TEXAS i flew there twice to buy 240sx SE 95s TEXAS is soo big it never ends.... OH i have 48K on my motor with my TN kit and its strong

 

older turbo F1 cars(1300hp+) were using old blocks with 30-40K miles on them, they were prefered to brand new blocks.

 

cool guys. that makes me feel better about going FI.

Yes, that is very true. The Brabham BMW F1 used a production 4 cylinder blocks that had 60k miles on them because the many thermal cycles they were exposed to made them more "lose" so they could withstand some serious boost. Qualifying horsepower was well over 1000hp from a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine.
