engine life with 350-400whp?

i have a HUGe streetported motor with around 5,000 km's on it now.... two piece apex seals...

im getting microtech next week.... keeping the stock turbo and top mount for now...

but i was thinking of going with a cast hks or ebay manifold, with a garret t4 60trim compressor... and a front mount obviously

im worried about how long the motor will last in the 350-400whp range...

i wouldnt high boost around all day, but i want it there, know what i mean?

so how many miles have u guys put on your motors with that much power?

my motor isnt dowled... ive been told that with a non dowled motor, to not go past 300-320whp area.... because the motor just wont last more than 10k miles... or something like that...

any advice?

cheers,dan.

the motor can last anywhere between 1 mile more and ruffly 50k miles more. Depends on how you treat it. Also depends on your tune, and it depends on the condition of all your parts.

:
Who would tell you garbage like that? Probably a V-8 guy

I've been running my big single upgraded TII for years. Non-doweled, high compression S5 motor, 15-17 psi. It has lasted 29 000 km's so far
