No telling how long an engine will last when properly maintained. Its a Toyota so its pretty reliable.

 

[bad94sup]

I've not yet see a factory installed motor fail by any cause other than lack of tuning or failure of aftermarket parts.

As long as the oil has been changed and the comrpession is good the engine will last a long time. The thing you might be more concerned with is other things that break on an older car. Starter motors ac interior stuff. A good percentage of these cars have been owned by enthusist drivers who knew what they had and took car of their cars. Mine at 80000 literaly drives like a new car.

On your 3rd engine? What the hell did you do? Not change the oil?

It would have lasted that long even on the original oil but what did you expect from a guy who can't find the caps lock

 

[UACats]

JKS how many miles do you have on the body then?

If it's taken care of it who knows how long. Mine has over 130K miles and the compression in all 6 cyls are within 5 and the leakdown results were from 4% to 10%.

 

[Suprafied]

Its a toyota and if you do the regular maintainence it will literally run forever. Hell, there arenumerous 100k miled MKIV's on this website. Just find one with service records. I did and I have all of them all since the original owner( I'm the thrid). 80k is nothing. Peter Blach layed 958rwhp threw the stock short blockwith 75k and Eric did it with 175k on the stock short block. Miles on the car is just a number and tells you where the car has been. Mine has just over 70k on it and will plenty more miles on it in the next 5+ years.


Just look around and you will find one.

 

[devioust78supra]

Many of you from MKIV may remember Karli...or Kars4me2 who was probably the first hot chick to race a Supra well, we sold her 94TT auto with 130K miles and a few months prior to selling it she went [email protected] with very few mods on pump gas so, the motor will last a very long time! The key is keeping up with the maintenance and properly tuning your car.
Also, don't beat it every chance you get...good luck!

 

[Hi-Psi]

Supra motors are very reliable

 

[Raretoy]

You can figure 150K + on a well maintained / not abused motor.
I have seen several hit that mark.

i always heard of these horror stories of this "whistling" sound coming aroun 2500 rpms, and a big "whoosh" when you let of the gas, is that true?

My moms car doesent do that, that sounds like an exhaust leak to me.... usually happens when you let your cat out.

 

[Ubermensch]

180k on the stock turbos and engine and going strong....

I belive he is talking about a turbo spooling, then the BOV venting.
