OK, so I have been toying with the idea of keeping my EK1 for the next few years and investing some money in it to make it a really nicely modified Daily as well as a bit of track work.

I have access to a D16 VTEC out of a EK VTi, and I am considering buying it, stripping, cleaning and rebuilding the internals. I would then swap it into my EK and once I am on my blacks boost it to somewhere like 5-7 PSI (not looking for a monster, just a nice fast, agile daily/track car).

I know the old "The only reason to build a D series is coz its cheap" but I am on a small budget, and value for money I am thinking I should be able to get 120-150 kW out of this very cheap engine and some other mods (turbo, exhaust, chassis stiffening, suspension etc).

Any comments/suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.
