High Mileage Boosted VQ's
You're looking for reassurance? There's no guarantees any way you slice it. You might last 500 miles, you might last 100k+ miles. If you don't have the finances or willingness to be ready to rebuild at any given time, aftermarket FI isn't for you. ESPECIALLY if you actually track drive your car hard...like I know you do AJ.

I put on the crappy Stillen sc way back in mid 2003 and then switched over to the Greddy twins about 3 1/2 years ago.I had boost at about 8,000 miles and am at 88,000 miles all DD...untill now.
LMAO at stock block champion! SuperchargedG, what PSI and AFR do you run at?
Me im on Crappy Turbonetics Setup @ 8-9lbs making a little over 410hp. Mine is tuned pig rich and usually stays under 11.2afr....also very little timing. I added a oil cooler and Greddy Alum oil Pan to keep the oil just a tad cooler. The shop I use is a firm believer that oil temps under forced induction is the death of these motors.
Im on my 2nd motor from oil consumption, been on Nitrous since 800miles to-61k miles usually 2 bottles a weekend.@ 100Shot.... Boosted for the last 12k miles.
Also my car is tuned with Osiris.

Now that our cars are getting old some people have been boosting there G/Z for a while now. Some people like me are just getting started with modding the VQ platform. So i figured I should start a thread for people that have either boosted there VQ engine for a couple of thousand miles or for people that have boosted there VQ eninge at or after 100k miles. I purpose of this is to basically give people the idea of how many miles and abuse can the engine take under boost with alot of miles or being boosted for a long time.
If you got over 60k on the clock, i'd say save some headache and power-lust and go with a built motor now. I see very inexpensive shortblocks from IPP, not sure of the reliability though, but places want the same amount as the SB in labor to put it in.
Look boss the plane the plane.
