just bought a hatch
-
i just picked up a 90 ef hatch for $200 dollars. it has no honda rust and just needs a hood and two front fenders. dont have to get them bt there pretty dinged up. the motor is a d16A6 with dual point fuel injection.and needs a head gasket. im a huge noob to hondas but spanish rice is going to help me out with this.
plans mini me swap then boost. pics will be up tommorow -
nice man!...personally though...if you boost it, a mini-me won't really do you any good. the A6 is a very sturdy motor stock...basically, the bottom end will give out before you out-flow the head (stock heads are good for well over 300whp, which a stock bottom end cant really get you to)...basically you'll save yourself some money and time if you dont do it...just keep what ya got, but obviously do a multi-point swap...
btw...where the hell did you find a dp A6?...somebody musta needed a motor and just had an A6 laying around or something...
nice man tho!!! fun/cheap project

But anyways decent buy.

yea im pretty pumped about this project. for 200 bucks i think he scored a pretty damn good deal. literally no rust. BUDGET BOOST ROUND 2!

yea maby i will just do the multi point swap then boost. but the motor from what the guy told me is stock for this car nothing has been done to it found it in north moorhead

IIRC the A6 never came with DPFI, if you want a MPFI manifold, let me know and you can have one for free.

What trim package is your hatch. I'm guessing it's a Dx that someone swapped an Si engine into and was too lazy to convert to mpfi and used the DP head, beings it's the only one to come with it, the STD and SI's had mpfi. I'd suggest doing a mpfi swap, Dual-points are pretty much worthless, and probably a mini-me. If u wanna do something really sweet read this month's Honda-Tuning. They do a sick D16A6 stroker build using D17 internals...cept it has 13.2 to 1 compression, but put out 165hp and 135tq which is crazy for a N/A D16 non-vtec.

i think he would rather keep it simple and just boost till it blows. hes not really in the market to swap anything but the DP to MP.

i have a t25 mini-log manifold i could sell $200 for internal wastegate
-
lol AL youre so excited to start this. if youre lookin for cheap turbo parts the WTB section is where you wanna be. lets figure out what you're gonna need first tho.

yes...fully build a non-streetable d-series only to make the same power as a stock GSR...that makes total sense...if it was actually streetable that'd be different...but 13.2:1...fuck that shat.
-
Well building a D-series for N/A is retarded, boost is the only way to go......
