Hi everyone a few days ago me and pops hit the 200,000 mile barrier on our way to California, we took it to get a compression test and the results where
50 50 80 80

the car is driving and accelerating Ok but not at its full potential, we are doin a full forged rebuild sometime soon hopefully, aside from this what else should I be concerned/ keep an eye out for?

Thanks.

 

Great milestone....time for a stroker!

 

damn with that kind of compression and you did not feel it...btw another 200k evo congrats

 

Congratulations. Are you the original owner?

 

Wow, big miles on an 06...congrats on making it that far.

Sounds like the motor is done. Would be good to know more about the other maintenance that you've done to the car. With that kind of milage you're going to want to start looking at things like suspension bushings, transmission and TC, rear end, etc.

While the motor is out, use that time to check and service anything with moving parts. I know that sounds generic, but without knowing about the history of your car it's just good common sense.

 

Yes original owner!, well as far as maintenance goes we kept up with all the fluids and minor tune ups here and there so its been a smooth ride all the way without ever given us major problems.
The shop we most often visit here in Socal quoted us for 3,500 for a complete rebuild plus I forget what the term is but has something to do with re doin the head and block or something like that.

 

 

Damn now thats what i call driving. Congrats to you.

 

What shop did you visit in socal? RRE?

 

$3500 for a complete rebuild? Man i wish we were able to get rebuilds for that much here in Australia

Congrats on hitting the big 200,000 mile mark.
That's wicked.

 

Thanks everyone, My story proves that we all own one of the finest and most durable turbo driven autos in the history of the automobile, cheers to you all!.

I hit up Shutoko when IAm in socal, great service very friendly.

 

If you build it yourself and get the machine work done cheap my 2.3 Stroker in AUS didnt cost much more then that

 

Shutoko? Who's that? I'm in SoCal and I've never heard of that shop lol I have a IX as well and just cracked 106k on it a couple days ago

 

Wow 200k miles makes me feel absolutely great about my mileage and goes to show these are well built engines. I say its time for a badass stroker

 

Awesome job man. I love hearing about high mileage evos. They're great cars to look at but only truly appreciated by driving . Plus even at high mileage they don't really give problems. Well your motor is toast though...
