boosting it is fine, boosting it to try to break it and blow it up is pointless plus highly abusive on the car in general plus costs money when ur already gonna be saving for a new engine. leave the part about boosting it to blow it up and you'll get alot more responses... lol but good luck whatever u decide to do. ive kept a few blocks in my garage one being a d15b6 hf block which i believed was 65 hp or something like that and i picked parts off it for 2 years b4 i scrapped it. it was a great thing i didnt trash it b4 i swapped. used everything from bolts on the intake manifold, to the oil pan for a friends car, to the belt tensioner for my new engine, lots of stuff to move over in order to save money.
