just looking over options for when i hopefully get my 92-95 hatch. what kind of power could I expect out of a turbocharged Dx hatch, and what do i need to worry about (maintenance), and would a nitrous shot be recommended/be done safely, or should i just swap and build?

 

hey good topic, this hasnt been covered


aka search










sorry to bust your balls but this is every other thread
btw i say swap

 

dx engine is really not that good, if you had a z6 or a y8 than go for the boost but a dx is not much to work with

 

:werd:

 

also, if you hatch is auto, just swap... don't bother frankinsteining a y8 head and then switching the tranny, just get B16A or a GSR

 

DON'T TURBO YOUR DX MOTOR!!! your only asking for trouble. Either go with Paul's Y8/turbo theory or IMO do the swap to a B. Your looking at less headache to maintain if you stick with an N/A engine.

 

I <3 teh B18C5 swap...

 

yea i was thinkin doin a B18B (Ls) swap, but just looking at my options................ wouldnt really want to deal with the headache of maintaining a turbo, just asking opinions

 

buy my turbo kit, and boosting a dx is fine, my best friend is boosted longer than me at more psi, and it still runs.
