First off you got your engines mixed up. The 99-00 Si came with the B16a2, not B16b.

Second, no you can not use the harness (connectors) from your car. You will need to get the ECU, harness, tranny, and engine to do this swap. (those are just the major componets)

Next, if you want to lighten your car, loose some weight in the car, that is a good start but the amount of noise that will be added isn't really worth it. But that is just me.

If your ex is an auto you will have a little more work to do for that swap as well.

And now, go do a search and read Ricey McRicerton's FAQ about swaps on the top of the page. Thank you, have a nice day.

I didn't get on your case as bad as someone can about that mistake. Everyone makes them no worries. Do worry about searching and reading post titles though. Remember what I said about Ricey? Here I'll help you out.

And remember, don't street race. Take it to a track man... I don't want to hear about your car getting destroyed, you going to jail because you killed someone, or you dying. It's not worth it.

Also a good suggestion, I plan on doing that to my d16 in the future. That does take a lot of work to maintain and build right though.

iv lookd at that thread but still undisides because my budget isint all that but still be able to pull by im just looking for a good long last engine that can be modded and isnt to much money for installing it. i know the k20 is great as well as the h22 i was looking for the b18c5 but then i would have to get bigger shaft.so im either looking for a good b16 or b18 cuz im geting the black and rebuilding it from top to bottom and want it to last. my dseries is dukky its sohc vtech but has a 100k miles.so any assistance of choice of engine would help alot

The k20, h22, and b18c5 are all extremely expensive swaps. A b16 is good, but they lack torque. That can however be fixed with a nice turbo. A b18 is a good choice because they are cheap and not hard to find.

Every engine can be modded, it depends on what you want out of the engine. Do you want to go N/A or FI? Do you want something that will last a long time? Do you want major power?

You need to tell us what your budget is. Like I said, you need to search. It will answer many of your questions.

Okay, I've been very patient with you so far, and I'm starting to loose it. <FONT SIZE="5">SEARCH!</FONT> Sorry, I can't tell you anymore. Searching will answer A LOT if not ALL of your questions.

A b18 has more power than a b16. If you want lots of power and reliability, you got a problem.

BTW: FI = Forced induction (turbo) N/A = naturally aspirated (all motor)
