You have a B18A. That's all the DA came with. Try to find a B18C1, or if you're on a budget find a VTEC head and do a LS/VTEC swap. Sprot Compact Car Magazine has a good article on what you need to build this engine. It's pretty easy to do, but there is a little machining that's needed. there are also a lot of small parts to buy and install (most of the accessories). Plus, you can use the same block. A C1 or C5 (JDM Type-R and that's a tough find) will also bolt right in with minimal effort. But a VTEC swap is a lot cheaper.

you're a ****en idiot...Yea lets run some badass 120hp engines, oh yea!

not worth the effort, look into a GS-R engine or the Type-R engine both straight out of Japan, and quite reasonably priced - you'll save a good chunk of coin if you do the swap yourself to

Sorry, but in all fairness he should perhaps state why he likes the D-Engine...such as

I like the D Series engines because they are horseless and torqueless, hard to tune and modify, and because I like knowing that if I dropped the engine out of my vacuum cleaner in an identical chassis it would destroy me on the 1/4
