 I'd strongly recommend changing all fluids - each fluid has very specific recommendations - and inspecting everything top to bottom.Quote:

Overall I agree with the implication of your question: the more you upgrade your car, and the more rwhp you expect from it, the less reliable it will be as a daily driver. I'm aware of bone-stock Mkiv Supras with 250K miles. If you upgrade to 680rwhp, don't expect anywhere near that before you'd need to do some work to it. -BUT- You can easily get to bpu level, and still have an extremely high degree of reliability. At bpu (about 400rwhp), the reliability is still very good (almost as reliable as stock). Note that if you upgrade to 680rwhp, and you don't run race fuel or methanol injection, its likely to live a very short life. Even a fully race-built motor can be destroyed in a few seconds by detonation.
