Kms On A Turbo Engine?

[Egg]

I have an My 94 rex that has 240 kw at the flywheel and has original 235,000 kms, still on the original donk.... Have had if for 12 years and dont rev the sh*t out of it and just use the torque curve, constant servicing and belt changes, and you shouldnt have a drama..

Im waiting to pay off our other home car (4wd) so I can then upgrade to a t as a settle down car, with a phase 2 kit and see how these cars go with some kays on em. Should be interesting to see how many kays people are gonna get from modded t's.

How many kays are people getting fromba tank with 350 - 370 kw at the flywheel?

Dunno where you heard that but it all depends on how well you look after it. Regular servicings and it should last as long as you want it to. As for thrashings, several motors have been pulled down after running ridiculous amounts of power and been within spec, almost like they came straight from the factory. There's no blanket rule that states turbo cars wont last as long at NA ones...

There is more stress on a turbo engine than a N/A. Like skylines for example, you will notice that allot of people sell their Skylines when they hit around 70k. Its because they either require their MAJOR service or they need a rebuild.

Being brought up in the N/A world this is what I have been taught about turbo engines.

To me the T is the ultimate car. Although I also once thought that the T would last as long as any N/A engine (partly due to its low boost, great engineering & tuning) I have been lead to believe that this engine will not last anywhere near as long as N/A performance engines such as the Ls1.

well the LS1's use oil from new so that's a good starting point

I know of many a LS1 that has been rebuilt at under 80 000km because they had excessive piston slap

Nowhere NEAR their full capacity hehe

Hence the speculation of going for a smaller turbo on the next model T

Really? Is that coming in the new model in '08, (not BFII)?

I heard new model before end of year.. Hope its not true..

I reckon a modded Barra 6T will pop at 100k

Unmodded maybe 150k

Few I have noticed going around that figure lately....
