is this tranny very good? i think it is a motor from japan 92-95. 35,000 miles on the clock. just curious if this lsd tranny is good. TIA

If it is the Ys2 tranny, then it should be good. Especially if it is the lsd tranny, then you are even better off than someone without the lsd. Good luck.

I suggest search and find out what an LSD's purpose is then you will know if it will be money well spent. and what advantages it has over just a regular tranny without an LSD. good luck

LSD means more traction, both wheels will spin instead of one. Find out whats stamped on the tranny and look it up for more info

I love lsd, it means better launches, more traction, and it grips like a ****

I'd never do a swap with out LSD

if its a b16a2 then there is no LSD its a b16a sir-2 then you might have LSD check the tranny code and then we can tell you.

. o 69 o .

if its a gen 2 b16a motor with a ys1 cable LSD tranny, it is from a JDM Honda Integra XSi. The motor will be OBD-1, but have a gen-1 driver side mounting bracket. this motor has 160 hp. Not worth buying unless you have a DA or EF

If it has a LSD hydro tranny, this is the 168 HP b16a. well worth the cash. The b16a tranny has the same gearing as a type-R tranny. However it has a 4.4 FD. So essentially it is a type-r tranny with a slightly different FD. Still worth the cash because LSD is an LSD. Night and day difference.

b16a2 only came in the usdm 99-00 Civic Si with an S4C non LSD 4.4 final 5 speed.

wrong, A4 came in the 99-00 civic USDM

JDM a2 came with optional LSD if it came from an EG6 SiR. It is a S80

I know because I had one

wtf? B16A2 is a usdm obd2 Si motor. the S80 is a gsr or LS tranny. jdm gsr s80 had optional LSD. the correct b16 hydro tranny is either the y21 (jdm had optional lsd) or S4C

DC2tuner

sounds really confusing now! HELP

Hey, get lsd, really worth it. I just ordered my swap from hmotors online with lsd. It's 2nd Gen b16a...not the 2..thats for us. Also it's the y21 tranny, should be the same one as the civic type R...if you want the fd, get the gearing, i thnk goes around for 200-300 installed.

TimEG_2

Great for auto x. used it on my swap also and lsd is to die for.

Correct, except the EM1's S4C had a 4.26:1 FD.

The OBD-2 del Sol VTEC ('96-97) also used the B16A2.

Congratulations. You had one and you still don't know what you're talking about.

a) B16A2 = '96-00 OBD-2 160hp B16A; from '96-97 del Sol VTEC and '99-00 Civic Si (in the US). There is no such thing as a "USDM A4."

b) This engine was not sold in any car in Japan, since JDM engines have a 4-character block stamp - not a 5-character stamp. Thus, there is no such thing as a "JDM A2."

You just completely made up two engines of your own. Got any more you'd like to throw into the mix? Next time you try to correct someone, make sure your information is factual.

Depends on what you mean by "good." If you mean good performance-wise, then yes it is good - the gearing is short, and the benefits of the LSD are too great to go without it. Although aftermarket LSDs (such as Quaife) are "better" than the OEM Honda LSD, it is still an LSD and is great to have.

If you mean good durability-wise, well that's up for debate. As with all used engines, there is a risk of internal damage already being there. Honda B-series synchronizers aren't known to be the most durable things in the world . . .

If the engine is from a JDM '92-95 Civic, then it is a 2nd-gen JDM B16A, not a B16A2. There is a difference.

As they said no JDM motor was stamped with a number behind the engine designation.

b16a2= us market
b16a = jdm market

and when you find a 99-00 Si with a four speed automatic, come tell me because I would sure as hell LOVE to see this seeing as how out of the 5 (two in the family, two owned by people I know around town and one for sale at the Honda dealer) 2000 Civic Si's I have personally seen, all of them were 5 speed manuals.


Now, to add to the corrections targa and others did. The B16a2 ONLY CAME IN THE 99-00 CIVIC SI. Period. End of Story.

The B16a3 came in the 94-95 Del Sol. The only real difference between the motors is the OBD level. 1 for the Sol vs 2b for the Si.

Targa: care to show me where you got the 4.26 final drive on the S4C? because last I knew, that was the JDM Y1 where as per http://www.hondaswap.com/forum...29829 I see a 4.4 final drive after the S4C specs.

right, there is no automatic Si.

delsolio

it also came in 96-97 delsolvtecs and its ob2a

Del Sizzle

I don't know about that. The first motor I had was a B16a1 1 million series from an XSi Integra. I got the whole front RHD Clip. Also the B16a1's That Start with 5 million under the block code also came from Japan. I've seen these in SiR Civic's when I was in Japan. Alot of the early B16's out of the JDM CR-X came with no 1's in front of the B16a.

do you have a picture of the block code or anything?

Holy **** why do people reply to a topic not knowing what the **** they're talking about?

B16A2 = USDM - PERIOD!

I think the topic starter is mistakenly calling a "second gen B16A OBD1" swap a "B16A2" because so many people call it that even when it's wrong.

Bottom line?

OBD1 B16A with LSD = GOOD.

Del Sizzle

I'm might. I sold it a while back and I took of it. I'll see if I can find it.

Sorry Not trying to get off subject or prove anybody wrong. I'm just simply stating what I had. I don't want anybody going around misinformed.
