6 bolt swap
 
So I was planning on doing a 6 bolt swap on my 98 GSX and this is kinda what I was going to go with

MAP stage 1 6 bolt short block on a stock rebuild cylinder head with just my swap parts on my 7 bolt that is swappable...

I have the intake mani and throttle body for the 6 bolt and am in the process of getting the rest of what I need...

So far what I have is:

6 bolt short block with 101k with all stock internals
bare cylinder head with thermastate housing
intake mani
throttle body


I guess what im posting this for is I want some input on this set up and if anybody thinks that I should go a different route????

If you plan on making less than 600whp it sounds pretty good.

LOL, 600whp. sorry that just sounds funny.
I would post up asking for anyone that has done a 6 bolt before or a number of times and get some input from them

The people i know is blageo, and for sure TKR has done a bunch i think.

I thought you were selling your car after you replace your clutch?

So you're getting a 6 bolt head too? It doesn't seem clear.

get a 1g lol, 6 bolt swap's are easy once you get started, they can be a little intimadating to a nob "wich i was when i did mine and then un did mine" but easy, just like swaping a motor but with a tiny bit more detail than just pluging stuff in, YOU CAN DOIT!! ok im done, youre on youre own now, sorry dude! lol

That could be a good route to go with. I'll think about it

id buy the built motor from craig at least that way you know you have someting good rather than settling for a stock motor pretty much. and the motor all done rather than having to tear it appart

How much power do you plan on making? Stock 6 bolt can handle at least 400 at the wheels usually I thought, probably pretty safe if you're making less, which I'm guessing will be the case.

I wish I would have saved the money and went with a stock 6 bolt.

Not sure on how much I would want but I would be fine with 300awhp but 400 would be nice too!

I ran into a financial stop to the eclipse project for the moment but im really wanting to do this so if craig is willing to do the $2100 for the complete long block I might have to go that route and just sell my stuff that I have..

DSM Link or random codes will be the end of you liking your car. Also I only made 610awhp, so I think he might need a little more then a stage 1 short block, how about a stage 3, lol (if he wants more then 600 that is).

Well I have this love hate relationship with it just like any other person with an eclipse or talon

The frist think is new clutch!! then possibly going for dsm link.... but with the financial issue the swap is in question but I deffinatly still want to do it!

I really dont need more then 300awhp but 400 would still be nice and I think that once I hit between there with the set up that I want I will prob. stop
