Don't go around saying this without any facts to back it up. There is much more evidence to prove that his motor will be fine to boost w/that many miles than there is to say that it will blow up. Like stated above, 200k+ miles and a 9sec 1/4 mile... this is very common, do more research before you mislead people.

I would say if you have that much money to play with buy a used 2jz-ge replace your motor, and buy a xs power kit.

I wouldn't say your motor IS GOING TO TO BLOW up but more miles means your getting closer to the point were going is going to be a major problem.

And a little advice CL isn't the best place for advice having to do with technical issues. I would go ask the people at clubnat. More knowledgeable available and a more positive atmosphere.

Good advice here. Several clubna-t people in this thread have already given their advice though

I also agree with the XSPower kit. All of the major negatives that people bring up have been eliminated by Mark. $4500 invested in a kit like that would make some ridiculous power. Hell, you could include a R154 swap, LSD swap, and still make ~500whp. I've got a little project thats going to literally change the NA-T world. Waiting on one part
