Some people say the EJ20 needs major overhaul like replacing the pistons, piston rings, crankshaft, etc... after 60,000km. Is that true?

Cool

MY94 UK Turbo has just had it's 90k miles service and so far hasn't really needed anything other than standard wear and tear items (like the clutch )

RR'd @ around 287bhp too on a UK car so it's bound to be getting more wear and tear than a standard one and like I say no problems to date with it and I've had it over three years.

As long as it's been well maintained then you shouldn't have a problem.

Exclamation

You will only need to do major work to your engine if you let stupid ******* near it in the first place - ie remapping, different turbo etc etc. What these cookers do is give you great performance (but at a price - ie you engine doesnt last quite as long). If you want an engine to last - take good care of it - change oils and fluids regularly - dont give it heaps when cold etc etc. should I go on??
