The engine was rebuilt with that ^^^ spec list june 2013 & the engine has only covered 2000 miles since then. The work was carried out by Henry Roy at triple H tuning in Irvine & aswell as mapping the car which came out at 235.7bhp & 167.1 ftlbs ( 197 whp ) with dyno sheet to prove. Definetly more power can be produced with a set of cams, easily 245bhp mark.

The engine was bought in 2011 january, Dave Ts old engine from the Monster Unit, when I got the engine it had done 84.5k. The engine came from 98spec JDM Integra in early 2010 I think, which was totally standard at the time with 80k & all work/maintaining was done by Henry Roy & Andrew Baird at Automek from 2010 til 2011, from then 95% of the work has been with Henry & some at Automek. In my ownership the was oil changed every 3-4k, along with fresh NGK spark plugs and in that time the gearbox oil has been changed twice by myself. The first gearbox oil change was done when I got the engine in & running mid 2011 with MFT-3. At high revs 4th gear crunched but since changing to MFT-94 august 2013 the original honda gearbox oil, the box has been smooth as.. no 4th gear crunch ! sometimes reverse is a little sticky to get into but what Honda isn't.

Being honest as possible here.. The engine is abit blue smoke but only at high revs but this is due to the engine still needing to be fully bedded-in yet, as Henry & Andrew confirmed. Henry did say the honing of the cylinders came out to be almost perfect 81mm when measured. He did carried out a compression test on the engine when just built, which was 250psi in every cylinder. Also has a slight weep from the front oil gallery return but I've been assured this is normal since the head was skimmed but hasn't weeped much at all since I put engine sealant around that area, so no problems there. Just being clear with any serious buyers here on any little picky things, so that you know !!

Looking to sell as a full running conversion.. which would come with ~

engine
gearbox
driveshafts
mounts
engine loom
radiator
ecu (DTA E48 management)
gear linkages
all ancillaries & Walbro pump.

Can be seen running/driven. test run if serious. pm for any questions.

Oooo :/ not trying to temped u but this would ideal for rally, this engine wants to live in high revs.
 
Out of interest would you sell the tb set up?

Not really.. No serious buyers for the rest then if I start breaking bits off. I wouldn't expect anyone to just buy an engine they haven't heard running or driven when handing over 2.5k, So they know it's 100% ok.
 
If it gets to that drop me a line, ITB's where on my to do list this year.
 
It would go very well in the rally car, but would move me up into the 2 litre class, I already have a brand new forged high comp b20 bottom end in the garage and a ready to go tasty b20 engine, nither of which anyone wants to buy and I want to stay 1600 for the time being. I want it for the dta, gearbox and shafts etc
 
Hell of a motor bet it sounds the tits GLWS.
