It’s a great start to 2008 as I have acquired a JDM D16A VTEC Engine with only 80,000KM’s. It came with an Si tranny, Distributor and the P28 ECU. The plan is to change the timming belt, water pump and to replace the stock clutch with a Center Force 2 Clutch, Bearing and Pressure plate to get a better grip on the newly added horsepower. With this new engine, Short Ram Intake and my 2.5″ exhaust I should be putting out 135-140HP now so laying rubber should be easy to do, and maybe get 2nd gear chirps. I took a picture of the engine with my cell phone but the lighting wasn’t the best so the picture is a bit grainy but here it is the D16A VTEC.

As you’ll notice the valve cover is silver but down the road I will pull it off and get it powder coated cherry apple red to match the car.
