ok been reading some info on b16a1 and b16a2 the a1 is obd1 and the a2 is obd2
i have a 94 civic dx which is easier a1 or a2 im pretty sure its a1 cause its obd1 the other question its automatic will it be any harder to put the 5-spd tranny on it ?
thx for all the info

 

B16a is non-obd you need the sir2 is obd1 (usdm b16a3).The b16a2 is obd2.
The b16a (sir1) is the wrong engine for the 5g chassis don't buy that one.The a1 is the first gen (89-91) b16a and
second gen b16a (sir2) are both jdm engines......sir2 is 92 on up (obd1)
usdm engines are as follows
b16a3 obd1 del sol vtec
b16a2 obd2 99-00 si obd2
the sir1 comes with a cable tranny also so in order for you to make that engine work in your car you would need to purchase a hydrolic tranny, (obd1) distributor,injectors,mounts (custom), and change the wireing....it's not worth the cost...

 

I've got a B16a1 in my EG. They are just fine as long as you are buying the motor and tranny seperately. I'm using a Del Sol VTEC tranny which hooks rght up to the a1.

 

Just out of curiosity what was the final cost of your swap minus labor?

 

ok so i need b16a2... now dropping how much will this come out to around thx in advance

 

You can find swaps for anywhere from $1,900 - $2,800 depending on if it's usdm or jdm, and mileage.I paid $2,100 for mine but i also opted for a gs-r tranny so i paid a little more.If you go jdm figure $2,000 +/- $200.That includes engine,ecu,and tranny

 

why would u buy a gs-r tranny with a b16?? the gs-r has longer gearing meaning ur b16 is alot slower, it needs the tight gearing in order to perform the way it does

 

the gearing isnt THAT diffrent.
now if it was an LS transmission i would understand, but GSR/B16 tranny isnt that much of a diffrence.

 

1st: 3.23 vs 3.30
2nd: 1.90 vs 2.10
3rd: 1.36 vs 1.45
4th: 1.03 vs 1.17
5th: .78 vs .84
final: 4.40 ""
Do you really think that it makes that much difference? Esp at 10psi? So my gears are a tad longer not really enough to effect my et's.....thats when tire sizing comes into effect...
