I have a 93 TSI and was wondering how I could tell if it had a 6 or 7 bolt. I know they went to 7 half way in 92, but isn't it a possibility my car was made in 92, even though it's a 93? THANKS MENG

[KooK]

Yeah, its possible your car was made in 92 (you can check the firewall for the month and year I believe) but I think they stopped the 6 bolt after early 92. Almost 100% sure you would have a 7 bolt stock.

Edit : Hey, another Iowa Tuner! Don't sell the civic, trust me.

I believe the transition came in May of '92. If you check my list of previous posts, there is one from a thread I started about this exact subject not too long ago. You may find some more information there.
Oh, I'm also an IOWA boy!!!

Being a 93 I believe you have the 7-bolt.

If I order a jdm engine how can i make sure it will be a 6 bolt?

when i ordered mine i simply asked them.
But here is another answer: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/early-late-engine.html

Not sure if the JDM motors are like the US motors in this case, but remember that the motor switched from 6 to 7 in May of '92 for the US model 4G63's. Just double check, if they dont know the diff, make them research and find out indefinitly and give you a for sure answer. Im assuming any place selling them will be able to indefinitly tell you whether its a 6 or 7bolt.

[RossY]

well, i guess you could also do the obvious and tell them to check the flywheel for six or seven bolts holding it on.

[2LViperEater]

which year did the 6 bolts stop and 7 bolt start.

Here is my dilemma...I am thinking about building my 7-bolt in my 95 GSX. I currently have 133.000 miles on it and it is running pretty well even boosting 18psi. I am thinking about pulling it and rebuilding it completely. However, I am wondering if it is worth the money to do the 1g swap. Also, is it really nearly $1500 in parts and stuff to do the swap as advertised by magnusmotorsports? I have a friend who is going to be getting a bunch of motors from Japan and I am determining if I am going to have him get me a 6-bolt with tranny or not. Please help!

THanks!

[L2RTSiAWD]

Your safest bet is a 6-bolt swap. Why spend all the money rebuilding the 7-bolt and risk it walking in 300miles.

[jefferino]

Any ideas on how much it will cost me to do the swap???? If I choose to go that route?

[L2RTSiAWD]

at least 2k depenging prices of blocks and parts.

[jefferino]

If I can get a full JDM 6-bolt 4g63 with Tranny for 1500 how much more will need to be added on to that for the swap? Any ideas? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

[L2RTSiAWD]

Probably at least another 500 for misc gaskets, bolts and other 1G parts that don't come with the motor.
