High Millage + Boost?
 

Ok I searched this out before and did not really find anything concreate.

here is the story my accord has been mine for 4 years and was my dads before and highways driven abour 100 miles a day not stop and go cruise control set at 60mph 90% of the trip, it got serviced everytime at Honda Dealer as well. Now the car has ~190k as i added roughly 40k miles in my 4yrs of taking it over...

now i want more power, car has it all except turbo or a engine swap, i kno the h22 does not take boost well and that the F22 takes boost good. Should i do a leakdown/cmpression check and see if the numbers are good enough to boost?

anyone else have high millage hiway driven cars that you boosted? good or bad results?

thanks

i dont think high miles is much as an issue as compression. As long as the compression test turns out good go ahead and boost it. But i would gets some new parts like timing belt, spark plugs, oil changed, etc etc the usual stuff also.

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

true.
timing belt and water pump was done last year like 10k miles ago...mabyee just a real good tune up and valves adjusted since they got a lil noisy now :( errr i am picky

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

coo coo..doesn't matter if your picky its your car. Just make sure you have up to date maintenance and lets us know about the compression test. ;)

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

Definetly do the compression test. My cousin has a 93 Accord with 180,000 miles, we're still going to be boosting his. GL with yours!

miles mean nothing, i boosted my sol that had almost 174,000 ran with no wg making 7-7.5 psi with only a fmu,smic,and cheapo bosch bov and no o2 sensor and man that thing hauled ass

so boost it

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

why does your sig say sleeved h22 waitin for boost?

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

you may have good compression, but if you really wanna see what condition its in, pull a rod cap too, and check your bearings.

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

if he did that he'd have to replace them anyways.

i say do it, if it spins a bearing then you'd have to replace all that stuff anyways. if its all worn out

Re:High Millage + Boost?
 

That was my plan. it should really read H22 sleved awaiting boost or a Boosted F22...

Talking to alot of people here made me reconsider my plans.

:) Thanks for paying attention ;)
