Default b16 question?

i was looking at hmotorsonline and i saw that they have several b16 for sale. what would be the difference between B16A 88-91 (SiR I), the B16A 92-93 Integra (XSi) and the B16A 92-95 (SiR-II)

mind u the motor is going to be put into a 94 civic coupe. just wanted to know what was the difference and what would be the best one to get.

i am not sure on the differences between the crx sir and the x-si. but if you are swapping into a 94, to save a whole lot of heartache, get the sirII swap. it is plug and play. plus the fact that the sirI and x-si are cable trannies. the sirII is a hydro trans and will swap much easier.

yea but all motor would be more expensive but in the end it would be efficent than a turbo. a turbo is to much money to maintain.

An N/A motor setup will give you your hardaches as well. Building a fast car is not cheap no matter which way you tackle it.

SIRI = OBD0 motor, and tranny is cable.
XS-I = OBD1 motor and tranny is cable (Good for 88-91 cars that want to convert to OBD1 but not to hydro tranny)
SIR II = OBD1 motor and Hydro Tranny, what you want for your civic.

What like cams, pistons, rods, etc? You want us to tell you what to use to build your motor? Why not research and build your own.
