Miles Before Boost?

So how many miles do you think our D17's can take before we boost em? I would love to get a turbo, but it won't be anytime soon, resulting in something like 60miles on the odometer. Is it safe to boost a car with 60k+ miles on it? Do the internals have issues from use? Or will new internals be needed? I was just wondering this, as I feel that others might be as well. Yes, us poor ones unable to afford a turbo presently.

Its a Honda- you should be able to put pretty much anything on that car until it dies for good- I sold my 1st Honda w/ 181K on it and still ran great!
I am not sure the rules on timing belts anymore but other than that, and that is VITAL or bad things will happen if it goes, changing the oil regularly and the basics should keep your Honda in good shape I would think.....

ok, so I guess what you guys are saying that it shouldn't matter how many miles are on it, as long as it has been properly taken care of.

Pretty much! Just keep the maintenance up on it, and change the timing belt when or before the manual says to exspecially if your are boosting..
