. so let me know what you believe the best deal is. thank you.

 

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?

 

yesh, i know its been gone over but still confusing.
id like a dohc but i think it would be pretty awesome to beat dohc's with my single... i just want to beat some of the comp around my town. so if i mini me with turbo what all would i be able to beat? im not realy ready to spend s h i t loads of money. and if i f u c k up the d16. its only 300 for a hole new one.

 

Mini me and boost.

 

mini me and boost will walk on those other swaps with alot less money spent

 

if you get the swap you have more room for expansion than witha boosted D

 

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

 

mini me and boost. show that a single can beat dohc's.

 

Swap in a Z6 and boost it. Cheaper and better imo.

 

thanks alot. i was leaning more on mini me. so mini me it is. ill have pics later.
