Geekyjerry had 55k before rebuild. That being said, not many have had to rebuild their engines just more an issue that most of us don't daily our cars so putting 50k+ takes a long time. In my case it would take over 10 years...

With a good tune and appropriate maintenance, a forced induction engine can be as reliable as a NA engine.

Keep in mind most boosted hondas get driven pretty hard. I have 2k miles boosted and majority of it has been full throttle. 461whp last season. Mid 500s this season.

I've seen people on here and met others in person with over 100k boosted miles with no issues. Just because they don't post here doesn't mean they don't exist. I don't see the logic in the conclusion you reached from the few posts in this thread. In fact, the reason I boosted was because I knew that this engine would hold up in stock form with a good tune and proper maintenance.

Of course if someone needs reassurance about the engine holding up, they probably shouldn't be boosting either because they have no confidence in their tune, tuner, installer, or they don't have the finances to fix or repair things in case something does break when stock power is doubled or more.

52k Miles boosted. Now @ 163k miles

The car was boosted since 22k

So, it lasted a tad bit more then 50k miles

** Side note don't boost if you can't afford to deal with little issues here and there. Also save for rebuild or a new block. They can be a pretty penny. (sleeving for aftermarket pistons etc...)

I've got 76k miles boosted. Vortech blower installed at 14k, currently at 90k miles on the original engine.

I got a new blower now that has 1k miles, so my original V3 SCi unit lasted 75k miles.

I'll play:
-Boosted 01 Ap1 at 112K miles but sold the car with 176k miles still boosted. So a total of 64k miles boosted.
-stock motor
-KW V1 SC

Car was very reliable but I eventually overspun the blower after hitting the rev limiter too many times. I had the blower rebuilt and everything was as good as new. The only concern I had after that was that I was going to evetually break my diff, but fortunately it never happened. I ended up selling the car to buy a house. Now I'm in another S thinking of what route to go with this time around...

A KW or SoS 2 kit with Puddymod diff :-).....

I supercharged my first S2000 in February of 2001 with kit serial #3 from Comptech. (Serial #1 & 2 were still not installed and running at that time)
The car had 20,000 miles on it at the time of install.
The car had 87,000 miles on it at the time that I totaled it.
It made an estimated 325 bhp on a totally stock head and bottom end at 9,000 rpm

I supercharged my second S2000 several times with two versions of Comptech kits and now an SOS Stage 2 kit.
This car now has 88,000 miles on it and I estimate that 50,000 (very conservative) of it has been supercharged in one form or another.
On the Kpro ECU, it lays down 405 whp and at 13% loss factor the bhp is estimated at 460 at 8,500 rpm again on a totally stock head and bottom en.

Combined supercharged mileage on totally stock head and bottom end is then 117,000 miles.
