I am in the process of converting a classic mini for a honda engine transplant and this forum seeems to have more information the the mini forums that im a member of. So, from what I can tell, according to the markings on the engine and the car the engine was from I currently have a D16A ZC JDM engine, at least I think so.
Im mechanically inclined so I have no problem working on the engine, but my background is mostly older V8 muscle car engines and motorcycles, so when it comes to tuning or improving performance on these type of engine, Im in the dark.
So, Im looking for advice on rebuild/performance add-ons, common problem parts to change in advance or even link to some good threads I could check out to educate myself.
I wanna try and make sure I have little or no snags with the engine after in (not a whole lotta room, after its bolted up.)
Oh yea, Im eventually gonna squeeze a turbo under the hood, so recommendations on bottom end mods or head improvements are welcomed.
thanks for the read
