a japanese 4 banger

definitely not a skyline motor though

I guess they wanted to combine the semi heavy c6 chassis combined with the low output of a 4 cylinder motor...

I wonder if it will have dual exhaust

Not a RB26... Those are inline 6. That is a b18c Honda motor. Based on the valve cover its most likey the integra type R version from late 90's.

After a second look at the valve cover and intake manifold it actually looks like an even older B-series motor. Without a doubt it is a Honda/Acura motor.
