Re: B16A on 99 -00 si? wats the difference?
If the block is stamped 'B16A' only, it means it's from Japan, as they don't get the extra digit like we do here in north america like B16A2
The good news is that the jdm version probably has less mileage, and it make 10hp more due to higher compression, making 170hp stock
