I've had my car for sale the past few weeks. 01 ae . Didn't get any offers I was happy with .

My question is , 150k to may miles to play with boost ?

I don't want to do anything crazy just want to hit 300 wheel..

Please share your opinions. Thanks

 

oil analysis and go from there.

even if your motor lets go, it's like $300 and a 1 day process to put a new lower mileage one in. two days if you've never done it before perhaps.

 

If the motor is healthy nope, hit min with a 100shot for 2yrs at 175k

 

Damm 300, I didn't think they were that cheap... Lol

But I'm glad to hear guys are doing it...

 

I was going to boost the car when it had 125k miles, and unfortunately sold the kit due to financial obligations.

Fast forward 3 years, and I finally grabbed another kit and put it on at 170k and no looking back

So I wouldn't worry about it, and like others have said, motors are a dime a dozen, especially VQ30s.

 

The mileage doesn't mean much. It depends how the car was driven. Do a compression test and see how the motor is.

 

Nice thats sort of happend to me, just last time I had a 02 3.5 with full bolts. Now im in a 01

Btw that pic in your sig taken on i91 in CT? I drive by that vip billboard everyday.

 

slap that SC on. you'll like the performance with the DE-K. and when it blows, drop in another for $500. at least then you wont kick yourself for blowing a low mileaged motor, like i did.

just not sure if thats gonna keep you happy for a while, knowing that you change your cars like underwear and tossed v8 RWD's around

 

I boosted at the high 140's iirc. maybe 150.

At 168k now. I did a few oil analysis(s) and a compression test. First few oil analysis sucked ***** cuz of my k&n filter and then i changed that along with some other things and all is well now. Compression was almost perfect as well

 

I would only worry about the mileage if it was a non-japanese motor.

 

lol ya most of my car buddies have rwd LS1s and etc, so If I can run somewhat with the stock ones id be happy. If I boost im keeping the car .

Just installed a new vlsd trans and clutch masters stage 1

 

kevlo what did the filter do to your oil?

 

k&n allowed too much dirt to get in the engine. This is their air filter, not the oil. K&N makes a good oil filter.

 

Nah - just like t6378tp said if the motor is healthy no..I also have an 01 AE 5spd thats boosted with now 160k on the clock and its still running like a champ.

 

if you had 149k i would say your good but at 150k no way

 

Damm well I hit 151k


lol

fk it im going for it, S/C .... Hope with my bolt ons and 10psi i cant hit over 300 wheel....
And keep it together too !

 

did you not lube the filter? K&N has good reputation and i run one in my AE

their oil filter is a mobil 1 extended

 

it was new

Check bob is the oil guy forums. many people have had bad oil reports with kn air filters, hell i woulda never known if i didnt get the oil analysis.

 

too lazy. so you're saying we shouldnt run KN's ?

 

i wouldn't, i started using the dry amsoil filter. love it. great UOA's. i have read the AEM filter is fantastic as well. but there have been people with no probs with the k&n(i mean how else could they stay in business this long...)

 

This. Ever since I got your old 3" Amsoil, I'm never going back to K&N.

 

dry filter is the one with 100k warranty?

 

Yeah no looking back now I am yet to hit the dyno but was @200whp naturally aspirated before I installed the kit (at 10psi too). Looking at others dynos, running the 3.33 pulley puts you right around 300whp.

And the pic was on I84 somewhere on the way back from the East Coast Maxima meet in July. I thought the pic had pretty good timing lol.

 

correct
