I am selling my prelude because it is junk...holes everywhere...not to mention it needs motor....so now i want to get a bone stock 96-00 civic and i want to get a B16A from japan. Some people have told me this motor will work and others have told me it wont.

will it work? what will i need? thanks a lot - pepin

It works, I have it done to my 97 civic hatch. The swap wasn't all to hard because I did alot of research before I started. I suggest you do the same......

Here are a couple sites you might want to look at.
http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...p.php (for general swap directions)
http://www.hondaswap.com/swap/viewer.php?id=58 (for wiring pinouts and OBD comparisons)
http://www.crxworld.de/ecucodes.html (for different check engine lights you might recieve once your have your swap running)
http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/index.html (for lots of useful swap facts and information)
http://www.locashracing.com/pages/ecu_list.htm (ECU information)

Other then that you should use the search feature on this forum. As long as you know how to use the archive search function, you should be all set. Most of your swap questions have probably been asked a couple times already, so if you do a search you will probably find what your looking for.

I like mine as well but wish I had a bottom end with a little more torque (B20 or B18)
but as far as teh B16 platform I like it alot
plus I can smoke my friends prelude and hang with the teggys

kinda off topic but go B18C...EK's are heavy and need the extra torque

i'd say that goes for all hondas.even a CX EG with a 1.6l motor just has NO bottom-end at all.i hate it.the small increase in torque to the 1.8l motor really is noticable.

I got a b16 in my Egg and i raced a B18c 92 si and i smoked the **** out of him. maybe its the ITR head im not sure but mine has also been tuned unlike his.
