Looks like a Y8 manifold, but the O2 sensor is in the wrong spot. Zooming in on the block tag I thought you can make out a D15 on it.

ewwww that engine looks NASTY, nice oil bath.

On another note, I could have sworn I read on JapanDomesticMotor.com somewhere that they were in Canada. I may be wrong, but after the whole mess with Osaka, I would be leery about dealing with them witout some good feedback from fellow HT members. I hope there is no relation to Osaka!

that is a POS if i've ever seen one. looks like it was dipped in a vat of used, burnt motor oil. **** that's dirty, i don't even think that will pass a visual smog test. wasn't the ZC a DOHC motor? also, what ever happened to Osaka anyway?

One things for sure,... I wouldn't get it.
BTW how trustworthy are these online engine shops? I'm gonna need a B16* or a B18* in the next couple of months and i'm pondering if I'll get my money's worth...

I could be wrong, but that exhaust manifold looks like mine...a Y5/Y7 hx/dx manifold.
