good idea.

it also looks like you have a lot of room left in the engine bay... lol make sure to fill it up.

HAHAHA. if you saw it in person you would slap your self for saying that...

you gotta remember there is no intake manifold or header on it right now, no master cylinder or wiring or absolutly anything except a block and tranny. it prob going to have to cut into the fire wall for the intake mani to fit if i want to make enough room in teh front of the motor for the turbo.

this is awesome!!! Totally sweet and original compared to the other project on here (no offense to anyone).

BTW by seeing it was a D16 and was curious about a DOHC D series out of a Teg, i researched and learned about it. Thanks for that

yup d16a1 or a6, basically the exact same motor as the ZC. zc's are in hondas so they are "jdm" the d16 is in tegs so its "usdm"

not very common motors, but they sure as hell are pretty strong, and if you know where to look theres a decent aftermarket supply for them.

well actually its original color is kindaa copper color like this...




i was going to paint it a 350z burnt orange since it was similar... but i dont think so now. kinda thinking a dark grey pearl or something. dont want it to stand out that much. but thats still up in the air, we will see when the time comes. i havnt totally ruled out the burnt orange yet.
