Mini-me build help
Hey all. I've decided that I wanted to get a little more power out of my D16, so I'm piecing together a Y7-Y8 swap. I got the intake mani, and throttle body off a guy for $30, and I'll be buying the head, ECU, etc as soon as I can find them for a decent price.
So here's my question: Hows the reliability of a mini-me swap? I've already got 200,000 on the motor, and I would like to get as much as possible out of it. I change the oil every 2,500, and I don't drive it too hard, so I figure this little motor will continue to serve me well for years to come. But will a mini-me lower the life of my motor?
Thanks.
