ZC engine swap, tubro OR minime?
 
Sup. I have a '90 Si and i'm contemplating one of the following:

Swapping in a ZC engine, which i was quoted at 1500 including install

Doing a MiniMe head swap...

or turbocharging my current Si engine.

which do u think is the best value, since im on a budget

thanks...

Throw a turbo on that bitch. Even if you decide to do a swap later on you can always swap the turbo over to the new motor. :)

You must be on a fairly nice budget if you willing to shell out 1500 for a zc swap. I gots to agree with the other fellas, turbo that A6. And instead of swapping later or whatever, build it internally and turn up the boost. ;D

i also agree, boost the stock si engine as long as it runs good. If it runs like ass then I would do a compression check first.

Everyone loves a boosted strung-out A6 on the ragged edge...

Value? Deff. a HMT setup on your A6.

He was just playing around. Don't take it serious, but of course we would all suggest boosting your current motor because of the obvious advantages of a turbo. What have you decided on?

Swap a ZC (doing the swap yourself)and boost the ZC... That is my favorite idea!
