Re: direct swap (montvillefire22)
Get an OBD2 B16A. That's a bolt in swap. As long as it's OBD2, it will all plug in as well. Those motors are sold with nessacary mounts, linkages axles, etc. They're all stock parts from a 99-00 Si in your case. Plus, you will effortlessly pass emissions. Good bang for the buck bolt in motor. under $2500 at this point for a FULL swap. Very reliable, great gas mileage, and fun to drive. Awesome trans ratio, same as the ITR. The other OBD2 B series will plug and bolt in as well, but you're usually looking to spend more money unless you get the LS motor. BOOORING.
The OBD2 96-00 D series motors will also bolt/plug in, However, the D16Y8 is a difficult motor to find. The OBD1 D series will bolt in, but will not pass emissions unless you put in your oil pump assembly with the CKP sensor from your D16Y8. You will have to switch injectors, and some plugs. switching the intake manifold would be a good idea. And you will probably want to keep your trans unless you get a D16Z6 with trans.
