I have a 1998 civic ex and have the 2000 front end and si trunk and wing and SI wheels and was thinking about putting a b16a into the car. I tried reading up on all the engines and everything but got confused any help?

Well what do you need to know?

well i have a d16 now so what would i need to get to get the b16 in and how much work would it be and would it be worth it?

thanks for that zerovandez but has anyone here swapped a d16 for a b16 if so how much did it cost?

Your being kinda general, how much for what? Paid to have it done? How much engine, tranny was, mounts, etc?

Careful new guy. Theres alooot of info on here, just gotta look for it.

ok. its a basic drop in. if your smart enough to do some wiring you can do it yourself. i will say though try for the 99-00 SI b16 since itd be obd2. if not you'll need more work for converting.

it cost me a lil over 3500. for the block, new parts(spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing belt, water pump), new rywire harness, and putting it in. oh got the LSD option too.

take a few days to do but its simple. if that doesn't answer it...rephrase your question.

if you have a 98 d16 in it then their is no wiring the harness will plug up to the b16 with no issues except the o2, you have to strech the wiring for the o2 so itll go in at the end of the exhaust manifold and not at the top, and yes i know this for a fact because i have a b20v and the harness is for a 98 ex

oh btw yeah its a drop in, if your good with tools you can have the old motor out and the b16 in-in about an hour or so as long as you have all the mounts and linkage your good to go

thanks for the info guys...what i am trying to do is get a 99-00 b16 because i have a 98 d16 ...and i know im being kind of general but theres a lot i dont understand..and i would be doing it myself.
