i might be wrong, the intake i believe is from a sohc f6a that was previously installed in my mightyboy years ago with the standard f5a gearbox. same exhaust manifold and turbo set up was used with the sohc f6a aswell.

It would be the same kinda thing with the WagonR, Every, etc.

Not really... WagonR uses a K6/K10A, Every has F5A/F6A SOHC motor.

Well i know the latest Everys have the K6A and the only real difference between the K6A and the F6A is the alloy block and VVTi...
So, meh... close enough for me. :wink:
