175,000 miles too much for turbo? motor doesnt smoke and it runs clean...wut do u guys think

 

do a compression check. im guessing d16z6 (excivic93)
if ok, you should be fine. 175k, never rebuilt, replace head gasket, timing belt? valves ticking? spark plugs clean?

 

when it runs it sounds normal...i dont hear ne ticking...nothings been rebuilt only thing i touched was the clutch and its a stage 2 now...everything should be ok tho? no smoke im gonna run like 8-10 psi what would u reccomend

 

also the turbo is a ihi vj5

 

eh just do it, if anything it will just be another dirty D that bites the dust if you have somwhere to work on your car (garage) i wouldent worry about it becuase there so common and cheap

 

the best/only way to tell is by doing a compression test. Do it and tell us the results.

 

i dont have the tool to do it with...

 

if u cant check ur compression u cant put a turbo on....with success

 

its a 20 dollar part from sears...jeebus...

and what he said..is true..so dont go a turboin if ya cant go a doing jack ---- with ur car in the first place

 

do a ghetto test. take the spark plug wire out and see if the rpms drop. if it does then that piston is ok. if it doenst drop then that cylinder is bad. but its best to fork over the $20
