How long is a piece of string?

Depends on who build it, how well it was built, servicing of the car, the tune

and about a million other variables

[danny14]

i know that just wondering roughly how long other peoples have lasted etc i know its prob stupid question

i keep services up to reg!

well it was built at ice performance bout 3 years ago

[Michael-322]

yeah as above mate..could last 5 years..or could last 5 months

if the previous owner has looked after it, there shouldnt be to many dramas.

How much power is is putting down do you know ?

[Beelzebub89]

If it was built 3 years ago and still appears to be in good running order then there should be no reason not to get another few years out of it.

[GTScotT]

If it was built right it should last as long as your usage implies.

If you pump your -5s to max capacity and run it on the knifes edge on the track every day of its life, you will get about as long a life span as you would any other race motor before it needs rebuild (not very long at all). Yet if you were to daily it and take exceptional care of it I anticipate it would possibly last as long as a factory built motor.

I would probably change that N1 oil pump to a Nitto or JUN item though, that is the weakest link at present.

the 6x9's help exponentially with engine life.... as it gets noisier just crank em up.

[DVS JEZ]

LOL @ engine specs including stereo

[Rolls]

The only way to know would be to strip it down which kind of defeats the purpose.

Who knows it could have been slapped together on the grass in someone's back yard with all the tolerances wrong and it might last a week, it could have had everything done perfectly at a shop and then run with no oil, or everything could be fine and it could last 100,000kms?

[danny14]

the speaker part was not ment to go in i just pasted and copied page lol...

the oil pump is it really a problem i drive it maybee 3 times a week and i dont thrash it everywhere i go. everything feels tight

it currently makes 314 kw but has made 450 kw with the old ecu that was pfc it now has a nistune because of defect

[Nee-san]

450kw on the same turbos ?

[R31Nismoid]

It never made that much power, that's just a lie.

[snozzle]

well.. if its lasted 3 years and is still running sweet today, not burning oil etc, im sure its been built some sort of standard - but as said earlier, it could go bang 2moro or could go for another 5 years - too many variables!

[danny14]

ok apparantly it didnt... saysss im just goin off what the original owner that built it from ice performance told me................................ thats all im not making up shitttttt if thats what u think

[Nee-san]

It never made that much power, that's just a lie.

That's why I asked

[Char]

do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor.

common misconception is that building a motor gives u fully awesome big power, when all it does is make the engine components stronger.

sure u can make 650rwhp and the motor will last 12months or you can run the same motor at 300rwhp and last 10years

[R31Nismoid]

do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor.

I'd be thinking a similar thing.

If it was from ICE down here in Vic, I'd be even more worried... There were plenty of no-so favourable experiences that myself and several friends went through before they shut doors.

[DVS JEZ]

Maybe it was 450 hp. Sounds more realistic

Defensive much? Perhaps those posters are thinking that whoever told you it made 450 is a liar, and therefore you cannot trust anything else this person has said to you.

Also

*middle sway bar ( in photo of interior) <= WTF??!!

*torque split controller( not working at the moment will try to get fixed before sale) <= if the controller doesnt work it will be taily but still put torque to the front wheels. If it doesnt, it could be expensive to fix.

*drilled rotors <= likely to crack with track use
