Is there a such thing?
I was thinking about reliability and general life-span for the /4 and the /6, is it really worth going to a /6 just for longer life (possibly) and a bit more power? Or should I build a good fresh 2.0? |

If you go six, best bang for the buck is a 3.2 motronic or 3.6 twin-plug arrangement.
If you go V8... Dunno, ask the american motorheads... Big 4... Jake be your man. Subaru... Tons of conversion threads. The 4cyl would require no modification to the car to work. The 6cyl would require some modification, but either fabricating your own conversion hardware or buying it ($$$). Not to mention when rebuild time comes you're at least in for $4k. The 8cyl would require lots of modification to the car and either buying or fabricating your own conversion parts ($/time) Subaru 4cyl... So many turbo options. Still a a good bang for your buck, but requires just as much modification and fabrication to make it all work as a V8... And radiators... Follow the advice of others above. Start pricing what a conversion or rebuild would cost you, track everything you'll need and decide with your dollars. Or you can use the simple "how much downtime without a car can I afford?" For me, it's a necessary turn-around of 1 day. |
