turbo_teg

I swear we have talked about this but i wanted to hear it again before make a purchase im buying a fully built d16a6 from a guy in northern california and i just wanted to be sure that it has the 3 holes for the 4wd half shaft so i dont end up with a motor i cant use. thanx

What is the motor out of? I think they stopped using the bolt holes after the EG's. I recall this discussion from the old site i think.

that would be great i could pick up a spare d16a6 and rebuild it and not have as long of down time.

its the d16a6 out of 88-91 SI's and our 4wd wagons.

d16a6 has holes but they are not tapped, the only d16a6 that has tapped holes are from the rtw4d wagon

ahh so i dont need to drill anything just get the proper tap to run in the holes?

I might disagree. I picked up a used 90 Si block from one of David Moore's old CRXs. I used it to build a mini-me...which I then used a ZC hybrid transmission that used an intermediate shaft.
Long story short...the holes were there. They were tapped. Full of dirt/grime, but tapped.


After my B-swap, I sold that transmission/intermediate shaft to a buddy. He bolted the whole thing to his 91 Si with no drama.

i also thought they had to be tapped but recently picked up a 90-91 si motor. the holes were there and tapped. gonna install it this week.

nice to hear hopefully mines already tapped. this motor is gunna be awsome it will look stock but its far from its got arias pistons, knifed crank, delta cam, isky valve train, and tons of other stuff as well basically as built as it gets except sleeves. lookin for around 300ish whp good thing ive got a spare tranny cuz i dont know how this one is gunna keep together its already feelin funny......

300whp? what are you gonna run like 15-17psi? me and a friend are biulding his D, that bastard should be bullet proof when it's installed. screw a wastegate, lol. no i think he is gonna run one but at like 25-30psi not sure yet. vitara+eagle rods FTW!!

i dont know how much boost im gunna need if i stick with this turbo and mani im gunna have to push it high but im thinking of going with a ram horn mani and a bigger turbo with a 3" down pipe. im hopeing to get it spooling a lil faster that it is now so im gunna have to choose my turbo wisely.

where are u from in WA?
