Default Who has a b16a2 in a EF?

Does it bolt right in? If not what do i need? I would think so because i know the SIR 4g hatch originally came with the b16a1. I just bought a 91 EF (STD) and I'm torn between the ZC and the B16a2.

I was leaning towards the ZC because i know it bolts right in with a teg ecu and an SI tranny. And im hoping the b16a2 is an easy swap also. So i know it's probably been covered before, but i searched and didnt find the answer i was looking for and i want to get info from people who know. Thanks in advance

That is a common thing. You need the engine mounts from hasport or some other company. The shift linkage to the tranny. The ecu for the b16a2. Other than that axles, around 90-91 teg axles work. Do some searches online and you can find more in depth info.

Mounts, you might need b18a mount bracket, im not sure for a b16a2, i know u need it for a b18c. Then you need a cable tranny, get the b16a1 tranny. Get the actual b16a2 longblock. 91-93 integra intermediate shaft, axles, and shift linkage. Run the OBD I ECU with the grey plug conversion. personally id go with the b16a1, a little less power for alot less money. dont get ZC. youl be disapointed.

Like others have mentioned, you will need an aftermarket mount kit. You will also need a B series cable tranny, 90-93 Integra driver's side mount bracket + rear mount bracket and the OBD0 ECU, distributor and injectors to make the wiring less of a hassle. You could go with the older first gen B16A, which would then only require a mount kit if you buy it as a swap package.

The best mounts out there for the EFs, IMO, are the HCP mounts and the HASport mounts.... don't get stuck with a knockoff brand that doesn't give you the correct fitment & placement.

Also, what was also missed in what you need to do, since you have the STD model (sounds like a virus or something ) you also need to change the hubs on your car since the Integra axles will not fit into the smaller hub. Easiest solution is to find some CRX DX or Si, or any Integra knuckles and bolt those up - if you use Integra knuckles, make sure to use your same upper A-arm so the alignment won't be all messed up.
