d16 vtec swap w/turbo kit
I have a d16a6 bottom end with stock internals, d15b/z6 vtec head, dx cable trans w/ dsm 14b internally wastegated at 8psi (td05h) turbo with adapter plate on a hf manifold. Full intercooler kit on it (its like a 3 or 4 inch wide bar and plate intercooler) Has a cheap ebay BOV which does NOT leak and has a sexy sounding flutter (Pshhh, Pshhh, Pshhh, Pshh etc.) I have it running on an SMC 500 (super map controller, like the safc but without a fancy display) Turbo is oil and coolant cooled. The head came off a d15b vtec which i purshased from sunrisejdmmotors.com with like 35,XXX miles on it, the d16a6 bottom end had 78,XXX miles on it when i got it (which i put new bearings, piston rings, water pump in.) When i put the bottom end back together i didnt put gasket **** on the oil pump so it leaks a tad bit (not much though) Easy fix but never did it because im lazy and it dont leak that much. The valve cover gasket leaks a little to but once again, i was too lazy to replace it. I purshased the dx trans out of a crx which had 106,XXX miles on it. It was a one owner car which an older lady drove it until she wrecked it and i bought the tranny. It has absolutely no grinds in it at all. Shift very very smoothly. Its the nicest tranny i have owned, usually when your dealing with stuff that old, its not in great shape and grinds in one gear or another but not this one.
Looking to upgrade into a b series (vtec motors only) so basically im seeing what kind of offers i get or what kinds of trades ppl have to offer. Feel free to post questions of Pm me. Digital camera = currently broke, so until i can find someones to borrow, i wont be ablt to post up any pics just yet but from the description im sure you can picture what a turbo d looks like lol.

here's two pics i came across that are a little old. intercooler piping is now pieced together to fit behind a stock, uncut bumper. so it looks clean and stealthy. and the IC piping from the bottom left of the engine bay to the throttle body is all one piece with a different blow off valve, it has a dual horn BOV instead of the type rs that is on it in the picture.
