Default Back in action.......

Here we go guys pics from down under...

honda Ballade 1.6dohc vtec built and ready to run



The manifold is one off designed by my cousin.... the turbo is turbonetics with discharge vband WE used water to air setup its very nice and simple but should run really well. We took approx 2 weeks from start to finish.

we ordered a toyota Tazz 160i XE 1.6 liter RHD to mess around with it was only 4800 us dollars for brand new 2003 model not bad if you ask me only 180km on the clock too. We actually wanted a opel astra 2.0ts or the Opel Kadett superboss but couldnt find one cheaply...

We have pics of the tazz later ....

is that motor different than the 1.6L DOHC VTEC that we're used to or is it just positioned differently?

That looks like a prelude motor. The starter is on the front of the tranny and you can see the holes for the front mount and the timing inspection hole for the flywheel. How do you figure it's a 1.6 dohc vtec?

i noticed that it wasnt a B16 motor cause first thing i saw was the alternator in the front. i thought that was kind of weird for a B16, then i thought that yall customed it to be in the front for easy access or something.

-Dandee


Is that the distributor on the exhaust cam very similar to lude motors.

its a 1.6 vtec from the honda ballade check it out on honda.co.za its theremany of them like it... its definiely not a prelude in civic thats for sure... i also thought it was a prelude motor when i first took a look at it. But even says 1.6si on the casing of it weird if you ask me.. these were imported from south africa to the austalians thats where most of there cars are built and sent from.
