quake Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 So.....i've got all these plans for the future of my car......as most of us do, but my engine has 119,000 miles on it and it's all stock internals. Is that way too many to get anything productive out of it? I'm not talking about putting a turbo on it or anything......It would blow up if I put anything more than 5 psi through it....lol.......but just for a few simple mods is that too much mileage?

quake Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well....I figure that i'll mod all the basic parts first.....you know.......throttle body.......exhaust.......stuff like that. After I do all the minor stuff I guess i'll replace most of the internals and the cam.......the turbo is pretty much the last on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
