tehehe My new 1991 mercury capri XR2. I am using the motor to put into my ford festiva over the next couple months. Its a dohc 16 valve 1.6 liter turbo with 145 hp from the factory. When im done im hoping for 150 fwhp when its in my 1500 pound festiva .

Just thought i would let ya'll look at the motor

 

just swap in a honda motor, they make that kinda power NA and stock... and their reliable! probably lighter, higher revving etc!
lol, looks like a fun project, I'll be doing a swap in the civic hatch soon, picking up a motor for it tonight.

Eyal, a guy I know has a 408WHP Honda Integra... its a B18 engine... pretty impressive.

 

It's gotta to be boosted......I hope.

 

well the reason i chose this motor is because its a bolt in.. literally i just need to flip a motor mount up side down and i can just bolt the motor in . Psh who wants a honda motor any ways. Viva la Festiva.

 

Sounds like a boosted b18c1... those numbers are fairly common for those.
I just brought home the motor I'll be rebuilding and building to use as my daily/track motor. Its a d16z6... SOHC VTEC... its nothing great, except i want to build it since its about 70 pounds lighter then b18c1, and i can make same hp as b18c1 (Integra GSR motor for those wondering) with my planned build, for a bit less then a B18c1 swap will cost me. (3-4K)
This motor was steal of the year for me too. They usually go for around 400 bucks. I found this one with a leaking headgasket, guy told me he got it for free out of his bosses car, the shop swaped it out to a JDM d15 motor, and this guy wanted to part it out but got tired of it sitting around... 30 bucks! he wanted 40, but the alternator wasn't on it, so he gave it to me for 30! Everything is there aside for the valve cover (20-30 bucks) and a distributor (50 bucks)
