The block and head are both stamped with their codes. Read the code. We can't magically tell you what kind of head you have.

Also, there's a lot of knockoff parts under that hood.

Yep looks like a Y8
the code will be on the front of the engine as you are looking at it and will be to the left of the header.
it will look like this...

NOT a Y8. Dipstick is in the wrong place.

LOL I love the 2 strut bars. Get rid of the Ebay one and keep the OEM one but repaint it black like it should be. Your Mugen VC is a knock off also.

I don't think there are any "real" mugen parts on that car at all. It appears the previous owner took a bottle of black spray paint, and just shot the whole engine bay, over the bolts/mounts, everything except the engine.

To use a beefier alternator should not be an issue, that is what a regulator is for

Considering that' a 5th gen engine bay it's probably just an old Z6.

You never answered this question. Although I'm pretty sure its a D16Z6 (Although you seem like English is a 2nd language. Where are you from? Engine codes might be different in your country). Unless its some Mini-Me swap.

Why do you need to increase the amps?

The Poster b18c5-EH2 has some valid points that talk alot about your situation.

Cliff note: Buy a new engine, because yours has a **** load of problems and D16's are cheap.
