Difference between B16a1 and B16a2?
Whats the difference between a B16a1 and a B16a2?
I think the a1 is from the earlier generation and the a2 is from the 99-00...but is the a difference in the motor at all?
Do both of them fit in a 92-95 Civic chassis?

B16a1= 160HP
b16a2=170hp
b16a1 are older motors with 10.2 compression, they came in jdm crx's and integra xsi's. they also with cable trannys, but can be mated with and b seires tranny.
b16a2's are 92- up. they have 10.4 compression. come with hydro trannys, and have 10 more hp
if you have a 92-95 civic i would get the b16a2, its newer, has more hp and has the hydro tranny which you need.
the b16a1 will work also but might cost you more if you have to find a tranny and 92- up distributor. but i have seen people use the b16a1 in 92-up civics for cheaper but you gotta have the right parts to make it work.

You also need a mount kit to drop a first gen into a 5g chassis,
First gen b16a is non-obd and second gen is obd1..
second gen has a better flowing head and better cams.

You don't need an aftermarket mount kit to fit a first gen B16 block into the EG chassis. All you need to do is change the driver's side mount bracket to a 94+ Integra bracket and mount.

i would buy a motor with the same OBD as your car.
i have b16a1 not because it's cheaper cuz it had cable trans, cable vss, OBD0 ecu and correct axels
in the long run. the correct OBD motor would probably save you money and a little stress
Good luck

there are more but they are useless like the usdm and jdm have integrated map sensors while the edm has it attached via vacuum hose,jdm motors don't have the numerical designation,edm and usdm do.See useless ****.

Re: Difference between B16a1 and B16a2?
I have a 96 honda civic ex with a d16y8. I want to do a motor swap and a buddy told me that a b16 is my best bet because i wont get state ref due to that the si comes with the b16. Which b16 model can i put in my car without getting state ref in Cali?
