Help!!!

Hey everyone I havent been up here in a while because ive been real busy. I got a 95 Gsr and need help going fast. I was going to get a Gude motor block and greddy turbo t3/t4 and all the stuff i need to ignite the turbo like ignition fuel setup pistons, valve springs etc. The problem is the car has 80k miles on it, how long will i be driving till i blow my motor. The car is a everyday driver. Remember im going to get a Gude motor block brand new...Thanks always ExRacer

80K on a Honda motor???? That's like a mid life engine. You prolly have plenty of life left in it. If you fix it up right and take care of it, I don't see why it won't last a long time.

it all depends on how well the motor has been maintained.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
looking at just mileage itself is not really a good way to gauge it's dependancy

the engine was highly maintained and always had an oil change done before time. All highway miles on it , so farr i hear no engine problems and it looks and sounds good. Vtec works perfect, it was owned by a acura mechanic when i bought it...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

If its in as good of shape as you say it is, and the mechanic took real good care of it, you've got a lot of life left in your car. I haven't heard very good things about Gude. In fact, I've heard ONLY bad things about them. So do your homework before you buy anything from them. Other than that you shouldn't have many (if any) problems.
