lol 386k. we should start our own club, mine has 334 on it
iunno, when i got my car and was learning stick, i remember i missed a shift (shift needed a bushing badly) and stepped on it. went to 9k or something, but still didnt blow. the z6 is a good motor, but the more you beat on it, the less longer its going to survive. if you definately know your getting an ls i'd say beat on it all you want because if it blows... oh well, you still are getting a motor. if the LS motor is the B18B (125hp no?), you car wont do 15's. with the z6 in it, it runs 16.5 or so, so with the dohc, prolly around the same time, or more (b's are heavier in weight).
edit. please give us your def. of beating cause for everyone, its different...

hmmm.... well if your beating on it constantly small things will show for this. If its not burning oil right now i am sure it will if your reving the off it. If you plan on keeping the car and changing the engine then go on and beat the car. However if you want some money for the old engine i wouldn't do too much damage. I guess this is all for you to deciede and like drift_n_shift said everyone beats on there car differently.

A B18B has 142hp and 127ft/lbs. This is a substantial increase over stock. You will see mid 15's and have alot more potential than you have now. Oh, and how do you own a honda, have almost 1400 posts, and still give wrong info to people about one of the most common civic swaps?

well my definiton of beating the out of the car is shifting just before rev line or on it doesint matter, have launch control on the car and use it, full throttle shifts(with a chip so not red line) racing it on street/1/4 just going fast and shifting hard, using the power i got. as for not making much power and not getting into mid 14s the engine will have a little help not much just to let it breath oh stage 3 clutch in it, i think i can hit around mid 14 with stock motor, header, full exughst, and a stage 3 clutch, and some good tires. Because my friend with a b18 older model like drift and shift said around 125hp and 110 or so for tq and he does 15s on street tires, and he is a little lighter than mine but thats because hes a 1990 i think cx so i should be running high 14 at the least as for potential it has not to much but decent i dont want retarted amounts of hp in my daily drive that will come later on but eventually i want to put high compresstion pistons in 11:1 or so with a pnp, cams, and chipped/ tuned really good then it will have the full exughst to help a header, intake pfft, and some nice suspention to help out and i will be happy with that for a couple years
And my ls will be the new one so like 140hp 130tq something like that?
One more thing the service records were brought up for my car and it doesint have 386thousand it has about 500thousand on it

actually a 90-91 teg has a b18a, jus lettin u know, but i do agree with a good driver and the car being fully intact it shud run in the mid 15s, strip the interior and any amount of weight u can u MIGHT see a 15.0...
