I put the BBK full in at 216K. That's when it dyno'd at 412.
Of course I've installed the 3b at 273k, but never got on the dyno, LOL

So I'm guessing at least 153K at 400+

Just changed out the right front wheel bearing last week.
Mostly service stuff.
Still on ACT clutch from 209k when I rebuilt the engine also.

Most of the pictures are on Instagram.

I dipped it Bluegill chameleon just to change it up...
My S/C tacoma only has 255,000 and my 1st gen cummins a mere 239,000. I hadn't heard of an evo with any exceptionally high mileage before this. I may feel a little more comfortable looking at some of the 120k-140K mile evo's Ive seen for sale.

I made it to 193,247 miles, original headgasket, timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, oil pump, turbo, radiator.
My car let me know it was time, so before anything catastrophic happened, the car was removed from service.
Currently rebuilding. The only thing that was changed regularly was oil, coolant, tranny, t case, rear diff fluids.
I even made it 94,000+/- on the original clutch.
Good job Grandpa Evo, ride til the wheels fall off...
