bought a 1991 standard from this guy in nj. has 213,xxx miles and a blown head. its blue and has an awesome body, just has a little rust in front of the rear wheel well but underneath the car so you can't see it at all. you can stick a finger or so throught the rust hole so its not bad. it has good paint also. i got it for $400 cuz the windshield was cracked and the rear window was busted. interiors a little trashed but easily cleanable.
anyway, its swap time , but i'm not in a big hurry cuz i only turn sixteen on monday. i was gonna swap in a si tranny, a6 block, and a y8 head. will this work? cuz i calculated it on the compression calculator and it said the compression was 10.6:1 or 10.7:1. i was gonna run it off of a si ecu and a vtec controller, but i don't know if the compression is too high or if it will get enough fuel. i already know that i have to do a dpfi to mpfi conversion.
i also need help with my shopping list for parts. here's what i got so far
90-91 si tranny(flywheel and clutch too)
88-91 si ecu
88-91 a6 block
y8 head, intake manifold, and vtec solenoid
new radiator(mine's crap)
si or dx front axles(if i find some cheap)
si exhaust(will it fit?, the current exhaust is crappy and somewhat rusted)
vtec controller( if i have money left, cuz i can always add it later)
any other small (or major) things i need?
nobody say b16 cuz i don't have that much money or that i should search cuz i already did and didn't find specific answers pertaining my swap. sorry, no pics tho, cuz i dont have a digital camera. thanks to those that do help.
