Default Rival spy pic...help me identify engine!!

Local honda man has a car he is building and wants to race some of my friends...we all called BS because he says his project is a secret. So he sent me this pic of the engine...Keep in mind I think he may have painted the valve covers but it is for sure a B series (16 or 18??) and I think I can see some oil cooler lines...boosted B16?? Any help would be appreciated.

Don't be scared, worst case scenario its a boosted b16, or a b18c5. Kinda hard to tell by the valve cover though..

i looked and b16 and b18 have the same valve cover, so this picture can't tell us anything most likely.

A/C is gone, but that doesn't mean much. Usually its pulled so you can run a decent sized turbo, but lots of ricers pull them out because they think it makes the car faster, lol
