High mileage turbo cars. Are you driving one?
Saturday, August 27, 2005 4:20 PM
Curious to see who's turbo Cavalier has the highest mileage on there engine.
List the following:

What engine you have.
At what mileage you boosted your car
How many current miles are on your car
Is your engine stock, rebuilt, or beefed up
What aftermarket engine internals your running
Any engine problems you may have run into along the way or are currently experiencing (Knocking, burnt valves, spun bearings, chucked rods, etc. etc. etc.)

I'm sure I don't have the highest miles, but here ya' go anyway...

What engine you have.

3.1 V6

At what mileage you boosted your car

approx. 107k

How many current miles are on your car

bad speedo, but about 118k

Is your engine stock, rebuilt, or beefed up

rebuilt / mostly stock

What aftermarket engine internals you're running

mild Crower cam & Crower lifters

Any engine problems you may have run into along the way or are currently experiencing.

no current mechanical issues
only previous engine problem was a vacuum leak from a poorly sealed upper intake gasket




Have you seen the turbo wagon?

Does a Sunbird count?

2.0 OHC
0 miles, factory turbo
227,177
stock
none
Once upon a time it recieved a head gasket. Water pump wore out around 220k. No current issues.

If limited to Cavaliers, then
2.2 OHV
boosted around 240k miles
270,080 current
stock engine
no aftermarket internals

Past problems: head gasket leaking externally (infamous on 2.2's).
Damaged (and replaced) rod brgs winter 04/05 due to my adding too much timing.

Ongoing problems: compression on cyl 3 slightly down since used engine was purchased 8/03.
