RE: ENGINE DEBATE
alright this has been gone over many of times so try the search
but ill give you my opinion on the whole deal i had a d series motor with v tech and was not happy with it, i found someone who would do the swap for cheap. i got the lsd tranny as well and it all came out to 3200 bucks i believe. this is with everything, the axels, edu, mounts, etc. i think this was def the best thing i could have done because i dont know how much longer my engine would have lasted. if i would have boosted the d series, i would have rebuilt my motor and sleeved it and then i would have boosted it. its just a preference, do you want dohc or sohc? do you want the turbo now or later? |

RE: ENGINE DEBATE
Mini me and boost.

RE: ENGINE DEBATE
mini me and boost will walk on those other swaps with alot less money spent
|
RE: ENGINE DEBATE
if you get the swap you have more room for expansion than witha boosted D

RE: ENGINE DEBATE
i would just by a d16y8 and drop that in there for about 600 bucks or convert to obd1 and drop in the d16z6 for 600 bucks and then use the rest for a bitchen turbo set up... then you will walk all over so many cars

RE: ENGINE DEBATE

RE: ENGINE DEBATE
Swap in a Z6 and boost it. Cheaper and better imo.
