Default Built Engine Lifespan

Hi all,

As the title suggest, I am interested to hear people's opinions and experiences on how long their built engine has lasted.

I have a a GC8 version 6 STI, 2.5 short block conversion with forged internals. Engine has done just over 60 000km since the build and is still going strong. Still has the VF 28 turbo, stock intercooler and injectors. Very safe tune, 186KW ATW.

I am looking at doing further mods to the car and turning up the wick, wondering if I am being to ambitious with a motor that has done that many
k's.

cheers,

boydey
