Motors, motors, motors
 

Anyway, I'm sick of waiting for the guy to bring my turbo motor. As of now I found another s4 NA motor for my car, for 300 bucks CDN. Its got 160 000 kms on it which is fairly low for what I usually find. According to the guy in ran, but blew a bit of smoke. Its still in the car, so I'll probably get him to start it in front of me. I need something to last till I have enough money to rebuild and port the turbo motor which should arrive shortly.

I was wondering, what milages have you people got your motors to last to? I plan on giving it a full tune up, I already have new plugs and wires and a cone filter, I plan on running Royal Purple, Redline MT-90 and some Redline Gear Oil. Other than that what should I try to build a bit of compression? Just some Oil or MMO? I know about ATF and I tried it in one motor which I thought was blown (people said it had stuck seals), so I tried it cause I had nothing to lose and I don't think it did anything I haven't tested compression.

Yeah, so my question is on average what have you NA owners got your motors up to? I wanna drive the car for awile, until I get my turbo motor, rebuild and port it.

Oh and what else should I replace for a full tune up?
(I've got new plugs, new wires, new cone filter)

I had almost 189,xxx miles on mine before it blew, and drove it for about 30,000 with blown oil control seals.

im at around 191,XXX right now with fully compression no blown seals or anything.

WOW keep that rotary spinning!

Great, I want at least 40 000 or 50000 k outta mine until the turbo motors ready.

Great so if i play my cards right mine will last 250 000 kms.

i have a s5 N/A motor with 70,xxx orig miles!!!!!!!!!!! pm me if u want it

I had 280k km's on my 86 rx7, she's still going strong for someone else to this day. I had to get rid of her, because I thought the apex seals were gone but it turned out it was the coil packs.

Lol I would take it but I'm pretty far from you, I'd rather not pay shipping for something that big.
