Rebuild
 

I just found out how much my rebuild parts will be and its way more then i thought it would be..the engine was running fine before..i just want some opinions do you think i will be fine with just honing the cylinders and putting new rings on....(providing theres no wear on my bearings) + origional oil pump with turbo?

Re:Rebuild
 

if the engine is running, fine, it's fine. If the comp test shows that it sucks, I'd say ---- it and buy a cheap SOHC ZC.

Re:Rebuild
 

...or a jdm D15B Vtec. $450-$500 shipped.

Re:Rebuild
 

Sorry to jack, but I didnt want to start a new thread on this, I have a SOHc ZC in my civic, and I want to build an engine over winter, I was thinking of picking up a D16Z6, should I do that or build up the ZC? Its for a turbo application fully built bottom end.

Re:Rebuild
 

or come down to cali for 300 picked up :P


4th gen, if you are getting the Z6 for next to nothing, that would be my choice.

Re:Rebuild
 

I'd say try to find the cheapest option & go with it.

If you have the turbo parts now, and the engine's compression is worth a damn, go on ahead and get that ---- boosted. While you are driving around with a fun turbo car waiting for something to break, you can start saving up for internals.

I dont want to go the cheep route, I'm jumping on the 300HP+ D series bandwagon. ;D

Re:Rebuild
