Default Life span of my baby?

I have a D series. with 120 thous. miles....I was boosting to a low 6 or 7 pounds steady every day.. MAYBE 9 or 10 at the track once.. but Thats alotta miles.. how long if Car runs alright will she last ? i will cry when she goes in smoke lol... My Fuel will be there with 450 Dsm's and im going ----- with a VAFC, and will try hard to get it tuned as well as me and my friends can..but Will she still last for a little while?..Rebuild will be done in the futue! F.U.T.U.R.E!

Don't puss out, get uberdata. I put 15K no my D15b7 that started out at 145K. Your motor will have no problems if you get rid of that vafc.

It will only last 572.4 more miles. Use sparingly

Sorry to sound stupid but im unknowledged in engine management ... what should i go with on my 93 civic LX (d15B7)...i always just figured it would be better to spend the extra cashp on SAFC..
