Psssshhttt!!
Here it is, the heart of it all. The little D16Y8 single overhead vtec motor. To add more "umphhh" to the little guy, I'm throwing on a front mount intercoolled T3 garrett turbo. Everything in the kit was custom made. Total it only costed me a little over 1G for the kit. The ebay special came with a Greddy Type S blow-off valve, Deltagate wastegate, a freshly rebuilt T3 turbo, manifold, downpipe, chargepipes, and all the necessary fittings and lines.
Update-10/25/2003: The motor is in and running. The car feels like a whole new ride.
Just skim through the pics and follow along to see the car's transformation.
Here's the stock motor and the here it is, on it's way out! The little D15 can get the steppin'!
No wonder my car can't start!
Here's two of my good friends. Phil on the left (the master mechanic) and Andre. Say Hi.

Here's Phil, Dre, and Mike C lining up the motor on it's way in. On the next pic, Phil is showing how it's done. "Where's my damn 12mm open end?"
The turbo's in therrre. Ooooh ahhhh! Here's Donny B and Dustin doing dirt. "Is it righty tighty or lefty loosy?"
Yeah yeah..I know..it's dirrrdy. Hey, where's the Simple Green?
Phil and Dre lining up the intercooler and charge pipings. Fits like a charm.
Everyone say hello to my little friend.
I'd like give thanks to Phil, Dre, Gene, Mike C, and to everyone else who help with the motor swap and turbo install. You guys da bestest!
