Ok i have an 2000 civic, thinkin of an engine swap in the near future, ive been lookin at the B16A or the B16B but the thing is ive been doing some research on the B16B n i cant seem to find much info about it, arent both the engines almost identical? but why does the B16B have about 15 to 20 more HP? n one more this whats the diss from an Non LSD n LSD swap sorry kinda embrassing question but just got into the honda scene P_P

B16a2 would be the simplest. It's OBD2 so it would be swap-and-go deal. What trim level is your civic?

NO!! You'll get more power with less money with a turbo setup for your y8.

Yup, and WAY more torque. A b16 has hardly any more torque than a d16, put a turbo on that y8 get it tuned and have a blast in your little civic.

check out ldl speed shop if you're in vegas

i'd attribute the part about your engine heating up pretty fast to the fact that you live in vegas
