A little teaser shot while I was testing the wheels on the car after the paint was completed on them.

Got a D15B 3-stage VTEC instead, dirty picture when we first took it out for inspection

ammmmmmm...okay this can be tweaked too.
z6 had more potential.
you missed stage1 cams for this motor which were on sale a while ago here by SpoonMotorSports
what you are actually trying to do?allmotor thingy or turbo?

tilsim (tilsim) 2012-07-15 13:29:36 +0500 #39

wheels look sexy..

Won't be tweaking it up at once since it's going to be my daily driver and my route will be around 70 - 80km a day. The stock engine was run on cng and we're switching over to petrol now so my father wanted a fresh start and wanted a swap, the D15B was the most suitable swap in this scenario. Z6 wasn't available here neither was the Y6. But I think even a D15B would be more than enough for a lightweight City and should be a good upgrade to the stock D13 it had.

Turbo later on depending on my mood and well depending on the pocket too
I had my eyes on the stage 1 cam but we hadn't bought the engine yet so wasn't sure if it would be worth buying since our plans could have changed then, khair hai
