Your question is going to be hard to answer, but I will tell you a well built 7m will hold 450rwhp for along time with proper maintenance and upkeep. Not too many people on here have the know how to build them properly though. I chose to go with a well built 1.5jz because I'm one of those people that doesn't posess the knowledge that it takes.
How would you put a time frame on something like this?

i have been looking and been around this forum for some time now but i just decided to become a member. i had this place in ct called "the shop" build my car the motor is a jdm "low mileaged" engine that is all stock except a metal head gasket and arp's. the car just made 440whp at 1.2bar. i was just trying to get an idea of how long it will last me. i also know that allot of people make allot more power with there stock 7m's like the guy on this forum that made 700+.
Depending on the quality setup you're throwing that power at, it could be imminent failure. Mine is WAY more reliable at this horsepower than it ever was stock.
defintaley a lot more than just an upgraded ct26 and the basic bolt ons!
got any shiny pics of that turbo setup? sounds like a beast!

I make about 350-390rwhp at 15-17 psi on the street, and am always doing full-throttle acceleration pulls, being a very spirited driver. It's been very reliable so far, owned the car for 2 years.

That sounds like a good setup for sure. I had basically the same setup on my 1jz and made 443rwhp @ 17.5psi for over a year and a half with no problems at all. I took the 1jz out in favor of a 2jz block. The verdict is still out on whether or not I made a wise decission.
I didn't correct your spelling to be a prick. I just wanted to make sure you knew the correct spelling for future posts.
My 89' made about 460-480 on a daily basis at 17psi. I always drove my car hard. My motor had 160k miles on it, all that was done was a MHG and ARP studs.
My setup was near identical to yours. 35r, AEM, Custom Piping, eBay manifold, tial gate and bov, 550s.
@21psi my car made 501, in the heat of florida and after 9 consecutive pulls.
As far as how reliable, I drove the car daily for over a year and a half and it would still be running strong had it not been wrecked.

WOW, didnt know about the car. I was reading your post and asked "why is he talking in past tense" then I got to the end. Sorry to hear about your car, that was a nice ride.
To the thread starter, my car should make ~400RWHP. I drove it for about 2 years as a daily with no problems (exceot for traction, hehe). Just make sure you have aftermarket gauges and keep an eye on everything. Maintenance is the key.
