I did infact message him and very little came from it 

Vtec on older engines is a oil pressure related thing, as revs increase oil pressure increases causing some stuff to move engaging vtec 

I suppose the real question is do I try get a vtec head or just a non vtec head

Run the cams the direction of the engine, and if they aren't symmetrical to be run the  wrong way get a reverse cam  ground 

Hi John I'm afraid it's not that simple not all d16 engines are single overhead cam some are dual cams, just have to choose wisely on which I want 

Why do you have to uncover the timing chain I was going to leave that because the original cam in there because it runs the oil pump and dizzy I was just going to take the pushrods out so that I can leave the cam in and maybe change the crank pulley so I can run a proper belt, seeing as I don't have a fan belt because it's an electric fan 

Well the pistons are actually relatively straight forward the ones I will use are on ebay labelled vitara turbo d16 pistons, but to fit them I need to get a 75mm bore which I think I'm going to have to sleep the block so I can move cylinders 2 and three closer a touch, the cross flow isn't a bad thing hopefully the exhaust is the right side and I just bring the intake onto the passenger side if not the passenger can have the "hot seat", cams are a belt driven thing on the d16 also a d16 spins the "wrong" way so I will have to see if they are able to run in reverse or if I'll have to pass the belt past them in the correct way for the cam, also not all the d16 variations were dohc some are single overhead cam  On another note I have no idea how to delete duplicates but if you work out how let me know 

Well this is the first post in what hopefully may become either another failed project or helpful how to, what am I going to try do? Put a Honda cylinder head on a small crank block, which cylinder head you may ask, a D series head one of the 4 valve per cylinder potentially vtec heads, why? Because the cylinders almost line up.    What's happened so far, I bought a small crank engine (props to spitfire graveyard for a £100 engine) I've taken the head off cleaned it up and am debating getting it flowed and unleaded for the engine in my spit (if anyone knows someone good near Essex message me)

The carbs i have found are from a cbr900 bike i will do my own manifold it was just an idea if anyone knew the right jets to look at 

I've been looking at some keihin carbs and have an option to buy a set of 4 keihins with 38mm intakes for £50 does anyone have experience with putting keihins on a spit 1500 and did it work well, also what jetting should i run

Please don't buy gaz units, I've had 12 units on the dyno at work (varying cars) and 10 of them haven't worked properly as they'd be missing half of the bump side of the graph  as something was blocked the shims from closing properly, koni shocks are often of reasonable quality
