I was wondering a boosted b18 completely built with 430hp on pump gas would last? I am looking at buying a sunday driver and the civic fits the bill. The engine with everything on it has 15000kms or 9400 miles on it. thanks

 

Every motor is different, but as far as lifetime of your motor goes,that mostly depends on you. Do you take proper care of your motor? Was it built professionally? Was it built for the hp its making? How do you drive your car? Is your car tuned for all this to work properly? It all comes down to you.Love your engine, it will love you back. Wondering, whats your build consist of?

 

Sorry, as that del fell through the cracks, I am looking at getting a new car. b162gen jdm with everything done to it port & polish valves, retainers, sprinings, cat cams stage 2, edlbroke intake, fuel presure reg, fuel pump 255 walbro, 355cc injecters, str fuel rail, str cam gears..... bottom end is a LS b18b bored out, je pistons, eagle rods, block guard, new water pump, timeing belt,p28 chiped ecu, type r tranny no grinds mint stage 2 clutch with 8lb fly wheel, avid racing drive shafts motor has about 5000km on it dyno tuned at 188hp at the wheel with 145ftq

 

sounds like a quality build, alot of good parts in there.Good numbers too, your going to boost this motor I assume? Let me know how things go, and what kind of turbo your going with. Good Luck with your new motor.

 

I am just looking at purchasing the car. The car has 140sih kms. and about 5000kms on the engine so far.

 

Do you know the person who did the build? Reciepts? Who tuned it? Reciepts? Its hard to buy modded motors, especially so extensivley modded, and not know who did the build.Its just not real safe to buy if the guy your buying it from has no proof that any of that was purchased new or used, wether it was built correctly, and then tuned properly.

 

He had it built by a shop, but cant remember the shop off by hand, he has all the reciepts, and the dyno sheets where he had it tuned.

 

Well then if the price is good, and you like the car, go for it, sounds like a monster.
