6 bolt rebuild??

[dsmalaska]

Alright, I have a 1991 Eclipse GSX. I'm going to rebuild the engine, but other matters have come up and I can't do my planned build up for power so I need to find a rebuild kit that's cheap just to get the at driving again, I've found this [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007P74C3M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1398775200&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70]Evergreen OK5007L/0/0/0 Eagle 4G63T Turbo Engine Rebuilding Kit:Amazon:Automotive[/ame]
Just unsure if it's a quality rebuild kit that'll last for about a year or so. Car is all stock won't be upping the boost or anything. Just a stock rebuild right now. Also, does a 7 bolt rebuild any different from a 6 bolt rebuild besides the headbolt sizes? I need some input cause I was piecing together parts for the rebuild but this whole kit is only 10 bucks more than all the parts I priced out without shipping included. Any input from fellow dsmers would be helpful, maybe someone close has a long block I can just swap in it for a little bit? Thanks in advance guys, site has always helped me out.

You're probably better off waiting and just buy a short block or long block depending on what you want/needs. It will be less headache. And will be just a drop in and dive away if done right. But, I personally won't buy that kit. Seems to cheap.

Yes, there are differences between 7bolt and 6bolt "rebuild kit". An example will be the front case/oil pump.

Those evergreen rebuild kits are actually pretty good has a lot of name brand parts in the kit. And yes the 7 and 6 bolt differ slightly. I was wanting to order this kit for my gvr4 but it seems they only have them for 6bolts. Rockauto also has decent rebuild kits. But note that these kits are only really good for a stock rebuild. I wouldn't use one and plan on a high hp motor, not sure everything in the kit is up to par for high boost!

Mach V has a nice kit for just south of $500 and has everything you need for the bottom end minus the timing belt and tensioner.

So the rebuild I have above would work just fine? I'm just doing stock rebuild because I need a dd and later on I'll rebuild for power when I have the money.

And also, will a 7 bolt from a 99 tsi awd fit work? I'm thinking it won't cause the wiring is laid out different in 2nd gens but I could be wrong. Any input?

Wiring doesnt matter but the fact a 2g block doesnt have provisions for motor mounts will. It will not work. You need a 1g motor.

That's the thing I don't know if those kits will work with a 6bolt. They seem like they are for 7bolts. I would email them and ask before ordering atleast that's what I'm going to do. If i can't find a answer i won't get the kit, don't wanna waste time and money on a chance it may not work. Let me know if you find out anything bro! Thx

Is there a way to tell apart a 6 bolt oil pump from a 7 bolt?
