even easier to put a d16y1/8/a8 in. straight drop in, the only difference is the timing assembly and you won't even need to upgrade your brakes.Quote:

just sell your car and get what u are really after
what Lan meant to say was.. get a d series vtec and spray paint your car into blueish and sahve your door handles and get rare rota gt3 wheels and spray your bonnet black
as for your engine conversion
i got a b16b in my car and i'm on my p's
car originally had a d16a8, due to less than 10% displacement increse they didnt even look twice at the fact the motor was vtec, the transport dude came out, checked the engine number went back inside signed it off and bobs your uncle
but if you had a 1.5L they might question it, she asked is it the same capacity and i went yep 1.6L dohc to 1.6L dohc *cough* vtec and they said its fine
I'll have a SOHC D16 vtec for sale in about 8 weeks...Quote:

ok Iv found another engine D16a8 engine and gearbox..
but engine has done 250xxx, so I will most probs do a rebuild on it while its out of the car..
are aftermarket - parts hard to source for this engine?? aiming for something a bit more supported unlike the d15
bisimoto does upgraded valve train and cams for it.
What do you have planned for the rebuild?
My mate did the exact same thing. I <3 loopholesQuote:
