Default H-Heaven B16 Question

http://www.h-heaven.com has a B16a with a cable tranny and hasport motor mount kit for $1795....Would that go good in a 92 Hatch or would I be better off going with the B16A2???

If you can easilly and correctly install the shifter that comes with the engine (I.E. the cable shifter and cables) then that's a great deal. It works nicely in a CRX, I assume it would work as well in your hatch.

Yes, because the hydro tranny doesn't require you to cut/drill a hole/holes in your floor for the shifter assembly and cables.

You should just get the Sir2 swap in the first place...don't make it more difficult or costly than it needs to be.

I'm not sure if you have access to a local jdm engine importer like this one--&gt; http://www.hmotorsonline.com but for 2250 Steve will give you the "complete" SiR-II swap. That means everything you need for your EG. Maybe that H-Heaven place can price match something similar. I know for a fact that the 90-00 Integra shift linkage will work just fine in your EG. Trust me, I tried it plenty of times. For some odd reason the 93 driver side Integra axl works best on EG's as well. Well I hope the best for you.

Meh-- SiR-II for sure. You're not really "saving" money here. First off, you'll have to convert the SiR to OBD-I-- being that it's not hard per-se, but it just sucks. And the cable tranny? It's not worth cutting holes in your car for an inferior product that has more miles on the engine.

Save the $500.
