Alright so i went to look at an engine yesterday and i was originally looking for a B16A2 however theis particular engine was stamped "B16A" and thats it.... i know its a JDM engine

I wanted to know what car this engine could have come in originally?

dannycraq

could be wrong, i dont mess with b series, but im assuming the CRX si?

like i said i could be wrong.

dannycraq

yea i was wrong hahah came out of a 96-2000 civic vti or 90-93 integra xsi/rsi JDM

blackcivic11

is it going to be stamped on the block B16A SIR if its from a 91 CRX SIR or a 1990-1991 civic SIR?

JDM EJ2

That engine can be from a 1992-1995 Civic SiR as well and there is no real way of telling which car it comes from...
Is is OBD0, I, or II?

blackcivic11

I believe its an OBD2 cause i'm doing an OBD1 conversion

And a 92-95 Civic SIR II, and the 90-91 CRX SIR

A motor from a CRX SIR, or CIVIC SIR, will not have SIR stamped on the block. Honda doesnt stamp the Trim model of the car on the engine block.

If the motor you have is stamped B16A, then it could be from ANY year between 1990 and 2000 (96-00 for the vti model.)

If you want an A2, then keep looking. The block will be clearly stamped B16A2.

What car are you looking to put this motor in? The only difference between the A and the A2's are the simple fact of thier OBD genre. Power and Performance wise, they are the same motor.

I think the only way you could tell exactly what car it came out of would be if it still had its VIN tag on it on the back of the block.

i'm planning on putting it into a 96 civic hatchback and im going to be adding some bolt ons to start... im just afraid of buying an engine from an old car but the engine looks super clean and i'm buying form a super reputable local shop and the compression reads the same in all cylinders... do you guys think i should get it even if i dont know from what car or the year of the engine?

the owner of the shop also test drove the engine in a car before they bought it and he said it ran perfect.

daluv

What car did they have it in when they tested it?

Look for the stamp on the head, that could narrow it down

cherroneballs

yeah on the head theres a few circles by the exhaust manifold that have 2 no. in each circle one should be the production year of the motor. for example 9/2 would be 1992 mfg. year.

blackcivic11

really?! is that true? cause if so i'm gonna check that out... anyone have a picture of where its located exactly or a more detailed description?

daluv

go look at the front of the motor, look where the exhaust manifold is bolted to the cylinder head (below the valve cover) you should find (if they arent covered on oil or corrosion) the above mentioned circles with nimbers in them, i wanna say they are between 1/4" or 1/2" in diameter.
