hi everyone, i dont drive a honda but have a honda powered R8 - i'm halfway there i suppose lol :p

i'm after information regarding parts compatabilty with my D16A9 and the other D16 engines as i'm currently rebuilding it at the moment. i figured this would be the best place to assist me

cheers :cool:

i'm going for a high comp NASP, nothing too ambitious, around the 160bhp mark. should be fairly nippy as the car weighs 1050kg atm.

i did consider turbo but seeing as the box is kind of a mini version of a PG1 (like my 220GSi turbo) even that eventually took a beating with uprated steal-caged bearings in. also clutches, they're only 200mm diameter though i hear a 212mm can be fitted from another engine??

here's a few pics from the summer:
