B16a or b16a2???
I know the b16a2 cost a little more than the b16a but in the long run which setup cost more in a 5G civic chasis?? If I use a b16a what are the extra stuff I have to buy??Because I was told that the b16a2 drops right in with very few things to buy xtra.
Thnx alot!!

the B16A2/3 (US B16's) bolt right into a 5g civic, no problemo.
If you wanna use an older JDM B16A-cable type (89-91), you should look into a Hasport bolt in kit. It will allow you to use a cable transmission in a 92+ civic or integra. The kit consists of custom transmission mounts & a conversion kit to allow the hydraulic clutch work a cable b-series transmission. Of course, you'd have ot use OEM mounts for the rest of the engine....
its up to you though.....
but IMO, I'd go the OEM way, and get a full blown B16A2/3 or JDM 92+ B16A swap w/everything (axles/mounts/ecu/etc)..

Yeah and also if you live in CALI. that would be a BIG no no. Cuz you could only use and engine of the same year car or newer. So i suggest to check out your local laws and to put were ever your from so that way we know, c'mon dont be afraid.

While Kat's right about the rated hp, the 1st-gens I've seen always dyno lower than any other B16A.
I'd say get the JDM EG SiR or SiRII B16A because you're GUARANTEED to get a pimp-*** tranny (if they don't swap it with another one...) The B16A2 out of the newer Si coupes is nice - my fiancee' has one in her 1992 hatch - but there is an on-going debate about the gearing ans Final Drive.
Her B16A2 seems very strong, and it baselined at 144whp and 100lb-ft. of torque.
My friend and co-worker has a real-deal SiRII B16A, and it fells pretty much the same as the B16A2, but like I said, the tranny on the JDM SiRII is bad-*** for SURE.
