How long can the stock model run? 200k?
I had an N/A that lasted 220k on the original engine, and I had another with a blown engine @ 60k. Those are the 2 extremes I've seen with my own vehicles. Most of the TII's I've had ranged from 80k to 140k on the original engines.

if you search... I remembre someone saying their NA motor had almost 400k on it and they did a turbo conversion on it. It was still running strong..
It could have been a typo.. but the thread would be over a year old.

Yeah, I remember someone having over 350k miles on the original engine, and that was a few years ago.
My first engine died of coolant seal failure at 215k miles. It was regularly run at the track by the PO, which probably contributed to its demise.
