all SI's came with the d16a6 and mpfi. If your car doesn't have it it's probably not a SI

Re: (kaoss_11)

I look sli eit's been sitting outside for years and tehy just painted the valve cover (very shitty job btw) and teh motor mounts for some stupif reason to cover up teh rust. I would not pay **** for this motor. I hope you dont either. Good luck with your decision.

I agree!

You can find a ZC motor for ~$500-$550 that runs and includes the **** all bolted to the engine rather than the one you're looking at that doesn't seem to have the stuff attached to it and you'd be alot better off with the ZC than the POS you're looking at now.
