to boost or not too boost...??
 

i hava 91' hatch, swapped an a6 in it and was wondering if i should go about boosting it... the porblem is that my rings r a lil shot and i burn oil... is it still safe to boost or should i get ring job. my setup will b budget stock block, maybe run a t25

If you've got a spare engine boost it, blow it, swap it.

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

do a ring job with the engine still in the car, but a block gaurd and metal headgasket in and boost the ---- out of it, then when it blows up, reapeat

I second that ^^^ :y

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

the closest i have to a spare engine is a bare a6 block that is already sleeve jacketed, b/c i was planning on building and boostin the ---- outa that, but my funds r no longer capable of doin that

You ask to boost or not to boost on HMT? Boost it of course, where you located around here I can get D blocks all day long, plenty to blow up ;D

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

i live in plainville, connecticut... im willing to drive a lil to pick up another a6 block :y... lmk wat u can do

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

I'm PA I'll keep my eye out for an a6 looks of D15, there is even an LS bottom end sitting at the Junk yard right now, and i just picked up a LS long block the other week if you were thinking of going to B series ;)

b sereis may b a lil pricey for me, if that were the case i may jus build the a6 blcok i have, but def lmk about a6 :y

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

ls is cheap and affordable for a b.

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

how much u think a complete ls swap be?

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

Well...

B18a1 $200-$400
Tranny $200-$300
Mounts $100-$300
Linkage $50-$150
90-93 Teg Throttle cable $15-$30
Rad hoses $20-$40
Clutch $80-$300
Proabably about $100 of misc stuff

Looks like somewhere around $600 to $800 if you get some good deals on used stuff, I think mine was a lot less but I held out for some really ood deals on things ;)

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

hmmm i c i c, ofcourse regardeless that b series bottom ends r so much stronger than d series for 6-800 dollars i can nearly build the a6 i have :6.... and to slap a budget setup on that, not much of a difference for me, plus the swap would b a pain, b/c i cant do it myself, nor do i kno neone that will do it for me for drit cheap lol

Re: to boost or not too boost...??

the ---- is that noel?? lolol, did u post a ------- dot

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

Really depends on your power goals, my b swap was by far the best upgrade for the car, easier and safer to make more power but it depends if you are happy with a build d maiking 300hp or a stock LS make the same power

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

haha i had wrote something but must have fucked it up..

------ boost that bitch Dustin, who cares if it blows up.. you can pick up another block for like nothing if it does. ---- i'm boostin my motor as is... i dont give ---- if it blows, i'll just get another when the time comes. just bigger and better :6

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

regaurdless, i prolly will boost, but cmon noel u cant say "boost it cuz im gunna boost mine as it sits"... u have b16, block is soooo much stronger than my a6 lol

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
 

but you can pick up another sohc for almost nothing.

Re: to boost or not too boost...??
