VTI-R-How long is it going to last?

[Tonkotsu Flavour]

How much more life do you think a 190,000km 97' vti-r has left?
Anyone here had a B series go for more than that?

Taking into consideration long drives rather than short trips and logbook honda service regularly

I had a 97 teg vtir as well, til i sold it to my friend. When i sold it, the teg had done 205k'z. I've just recently been in it and its done like 220k'z now. But i have to say the engine still feels strong as ever and goes just as hard as always. Feels much stronger than my friends 96 teg vtir, and he's got I/H/E and some chip apparently, and he's only done 130k'z. My teg beats he's all the time.

if a toyota 4AGE engine could do 350Kms with no problems
i dont see why the B would have a problem with this.

[tinkerbell]

it is a farking honda, you keep it clean and change the parts that wear out, it will go 300'000km+ easy.

that is one reason why Honda's are more expensive than a ford or holden...

[garett]

i think katana on here has a ef9 with a b16a

has done over 300,000kms without opening up the engine, still running original internals and probably head gasket... thats the best i have heard!

[dimsum]

i got a 98' vti-r with 156,XXXkm's on the clock, still going strong as ever.

[FR33K]

pretty dumb question really
depends how well its maintained
only u and previous owners will know that.

in saying that my old engine did 335,000 and i cant exactly say that i maintained it...

[spoondc2]

Honda is made to Rev hard mate, don't worry except you do something stupid on the car

[aStRooo]

yea, maintenace counts most. my mate has a 95 dc2, done about 210xxxkm, and its about to blow. he dusent look after it, and is cheapo on maintenance and tune ups. blows smoke all day everyday, and if u drive bhind him when he hits vtec, ur driving blind >_<

[g3vtir]

yeah my old LS did 310,000 or so before i traded it in...and it still went alright...heheh Fr33k can vouch for it...but it was starting to show its age...

[sharky]

so when you put your foot down hard and its blowing black smoke it means the engines going?

[wynode]

Nope.

Search a bit......but generally

Black = running rich (not too serioius but get it checked out)
blue = burning oil (possible engine problems)
White = burning coolant (possible engine problems)

[ginganggooly]

i've got 210k km on mine. hasn't given me any dramas yet. it goes to the track occaisionally, runs okay numbers for what it is and still looks and sounds alright.

[Tony]

B18C with 275,000km here and engine is still going strong.
