Unless you get the turbo kit in the group buy that's happening, all turbo work on the v6's will be custom. But even then, I've heard mix opinions on that turbo being too small.

Ok well look at it this way....
What is your honest goal with this car?
Honestly if you will be happy with 175-200hp then go all motor....BUT for the money you spend of building a fast all motor you could build and even faster FI car.
Personally im rebuilding a DE with forged rods and forged 9:1 pistons and boosting the hell out of it. But i know now that its gonna be a long hard $$$$$ road. If you rebuild the motor now for boost and stay in the 9:1 range for compression the motor will work fine as is until the turbo kit is built.
It acutally wont have much less power then a stock DE but it will be indestructable and boost ready.

Myself, I am doing with the all motor setup. Horsepower isn't really the main factor either, you also have to factor in powerband and responce, but that depends on what type of racing, Drag, Circuit, AutoX, etc.... Having more power doesn't necessarilly mean you'll be the fastest. There's a guy I know, he has a KLZE Mx-6 running 13.6 all motor with standard equipment and bolt on's, and I believe some porting and slicks, no tuning has been done on it yet, so it's gone plenty of potential left.ho bag wrote:Honestly if you will be happy with 175-200hp then go all motor....BUT for the money you spend of building a fast all motor you could build and even faster FI car.
