how many miles did your engine(s) last?
ok guys here's a poll for ya,
how many miles did your engine(s) last till it/they poped? |
I'm at 110k with bad "O" rings :(
|
I'm still on stock engine, no problems right now:D
|
1st motor: (original) 88k coolent seal go bye bye. engine was bone stock. bought the car with 74k.
2nd motor: 112k apex seals fried along with turbo. mostly freeway miles with these engine mods: CAI/DP/CB/BOV/Koyo Rad. running 10psi, sometimes 12. 3rd motor: 45k still rolling with good compression. Same mods as above with new twins and PFC. so far so good <<crosses fingers and knocks on wood>> :) |
55k miles on original motor, still running strong (touch wood). Practically bone-stock tho.
|
131,000 one the original engine. The electrical gremlin took her out though.
|
Just recently hit 100,000 on "reliability mods"(fan mod, Koyo Radiator, DP, MP) . Small oil leaks through the oil filter base(fixed) and secondary turbocharger.
|
Repost. ;)
|
:beer: yup...repost.
|
its a different kind of repost though :)
|
besides, i bet more engines blew since the last repost:)
|
20k total
15k fully moded 5k stock and lightly mdded The Fd is one of the only cars I know where the vehicle last longer than the engine. As where you can find wreckd corvettes and slowmaros with perfect engines all the time. |
new engine was put in her at 55k.... i dont know what went since i didnt own the car.. but its at 68 now and running great.... (knocks on wood)
|
camaros/slowmaros? lol, as in dealer/stealer?heh thats a new one:)
(well at least for me) |
50k on stock motor.18k on rebuild with blown O ring.
|
First RX-7 - 1st Engine - 142,000 miles with a gigantic boost leak and no 2nd turbo.
First RX-7 - 2nd Engine - 4,000 miles (Pettit Rebuild)...wreck Second RX-7 - 91,000 miles and still running STRONG!!! knocking on wood now So I guess I don't qualify to vote on the poll :p: Jack |
1st motor 107k....breaking in my ported motor now...
|
i dont know how far. But my last almost a year. (I remember changing my engine every single damn year)
|
it seems mine didnt last very long just 68k:(
|
Man a year ago I had great compression and really strong engine.
It took alot of abuse and held up, (also did alot of mods) until just recently when I blew a Coolant Seal. @ 33k miles on a reman I think at 10-12psi it would have still been alive and strong, but 15+psi really takes its toll on these twin triangles of deth. |
on my last Fd 139,XXX and still ticking with a 75 psi compression 2 month ago on original and running good with no problems!
|
