To Steve @ hmotorsonline. I received my B16A complete swap as ordered. Very clean, and certainly well packaged. I had a couple problems during the install but all were cleared up, Steve helped me out when I got stuck with the shiflinkage and axles issue and was very knowlegeable. He isn't just a sales guy/owner, he actually knows his ****. I would ask a question and he'd finish my statement because he knew where I was going w/ it and answered my questions.

My B16a was a 93, it started up w/ no problem, not a hint of smoke at all from the exhaust and only a little bit of burn of from the header area that went away in about 10 minutes. Motor is quiet as hell at idle and a BEAST when getting on it. I am graduating from my D16Z6 so anything would be an improvement from that. I am thouroughly impressed with this engine. BTW, No Check Engine lights either.

I previously had an Apexi turbo on my old D16Z6 engine and it was pretty impressive, even at the mild 3psi that I was running. This is my first B-series swap and first B-series period. I am now a firm believer that B-series is where its at. I used to be a D-man but now its all about the B.

I had an S2000 and a supercharged '00 Civic EX @9psi and although they were both fun, this one has certainly filled the emptiness in my heart since I no longer own those cars.

Very honest guy. I will be doing business w/ him again and again and again.
I will post pics up this evening.

P.S.
JRSC in 4months.

Congrats! It's nice to hear good stories about swaps every once in awhile. Glad it all went well for you. I will probably use them when I buy a swap, if I ever get enough money!! LOL!!

I already asked him about it. He has plans for it.

I went for a ride and it feels very strong for a B-Series motor.

Nope- that's teh 1st gen = 88-91

Apex i ITR

tech a 2nd gen b16 but it came out a integra i suspect. The year on the motor would suggest that its a 2nd gen but I believe DA integra's used 1 gen style B16A's.

BlackFrog

The late 91-early 92 jdm da6's and da8's came with a 2nd gen b16a. Basically identical to the eg6/9 one except for the pulley on the throttle body, but thats easily fixed :-)
