i currently have a eg6 with a uk spec b16a2 (no lsd) and a ef with uk spec d16a9. i am planning to turbo the eg and was thinking about putting in a b18c1 and a lsd tranny. i will then have a b16 engine and box but no alternator starter etc as these will still be on the eg6.

would i be better off using the b16a2 in my EF and buying the extra bits to get it to run?

trying to get a 1.8 with all the bits so i can use the 1.6 with its parts in the EF?

or selling my b16a2 and buying a complete conversion from wrote off crx/civic (EF) vtec (we get the twin cam vtec civics here) for about £500.

could anyone list all of the parts to do the vtec conversion to a d16a9 EF (or even direct me to a previous post-ive tried the search with no luck)

EF for work
EG for play

p.s. any decentish cheapish exhaust recomendations for my EF would be very welcome

 

just a thought. dont suppose the d16a9 tranny will fit to the b16a2 engine?

if not, would a b16a tranny mount to a b16a2?

are there many diferences between a b16a and a b16a2 (externally)

 

Uh d series trannies don't fit b series blocks. Of course a B16a tranny will fit on your b16a block. Difference between the b16a1 (non obd) and b16a2 is mostly obd related stuff. Oh yeah the b16a1 came with a cable tranny. Just get the tranny right for your chasis... EF = cable EG+ = hydro.

 

an b sereies tranny will bolt to any b series block, the d series tranny wont work on the b16a2, and no there are prolly not many differences externally besides wiring harness.

 

would it be as easy to use a b16a2 as a b16a1 in a 4th gen?

 

The 1st gen jdm b16 is easier for the EF, but you need to realize that there are difference's in the clutch disc between the 2 trannies. That is between the jdm 1st gen b16 and the 2nd gen and up b16's.

 

have fun putting a hydro in the EF,

ha ha ha

get a j1 or s1 and sell the hydro.
The swap should work. You can convert a obd2 to obd1 or 0 no problem. You will need a few things. Injectors, distro, ef harness. and alot more
