what car exactally does the B16a come in stock. preferably the b16a1 because thats the cable tranny one right? i was just thinking today that my dad is friends with a few people who own yards and maybe i can find one in there. i doubt they would even charge me any money. this one guy seems to have quite a few imports in there. i have seen prob 20 eclipses or more and prob just as many civics and a few scattered integras. so if anyone knows the car that the B16a comes in stock, thanx in advance.

 

they are in japanese civic sirs not in the us but the b18a1 did come in teh 90-93 teg and they also have a b17 vtec in teh 92-93 gsr in the us

 

does your dad's friends own a junk yard in japan?...hehe

 

What junkyard? I'm cleaning out Route 14, and I need more parts!

 

the b16 comes stock in the usdm del sol vtec

yeh but its obd1 first of all and its hydro tranny

 

that's a b16a3... he needs the b16a<no number> for an easy 4th gen civic / 2nd gen crx swap...

The B16a you need is from a JDM VTi teg, 90-91 or a Civic/CRX SiR 89-91 I think were the only years.

HopeThisHelps

 

ok so there is no car i could find here that would have a b16 in it with a cable tranny that i can swap into my CRX??

 

yah but you can also get a cable tranny for it, i have a cable tranny for sale if intrested.

poo poo...if theyre letting you have the engine for free...just nab a b18c out of a gsr, and get a cable tranny out of an older integra

 

ok heres an idea since my pop owns a junkyard wut id do would be would to get any vtec motor u can find from a delsol si or a gsr or wut ever and get a cable tranny from a 90-93 teg any of em u can find basically if u want cheap u know and if u happen to find a gsr or wut ever u can get an ecu from a 92-93 gsr or find a jdm ecu for it obd0 so u dont have to rewire and all its alot to explain in a post im me if u want

 

nope, the only cars that came stock with the b16a1 were the jdm civic SiR, and the jdm integra xsi? i believe that is correct. neither one came to the us though.

 

yea but if i get the motor out of a gsr thats a b18 right. the swap will be way more complicated too right. the del sol only has vtec no dohc too right. so if i can find any b16 alls i have to do is find a cable tranny which wont be a problem. whats the gig with the OBD thing. what will i have to watch out for there.

 

the gsr motor is a b18c and a ls motor is b18a/b......the del sol has dohc vtec in the 94-95 models.....im not too sure what you have to do to convert non-obd to obd1....id say just get any dohc motor(90 and up) you can get your hands on or just go with a sohc vtec motor since your most likely gunna get it for free

that is correct and the 92-93 gsr are obd1 also its not that hard to convert to obd1 u just need to run teh obd1 ecu and dist and all teh 92-93 gsr is a b17 dohc vtec

 

wait a minute. if your family has the hook up at a junkyard. then tell your pops to go to the auctions and get a totalled ITR through it in get a JDM cable tranny S1 preffered ( same gears as USDM ITR ) and call it a day.

 

that doesnt happen to often finding a smashed itr at an auction at least but if i ever see one its probably gonna go high

 

jdmB18hatch:
after our last battle i figure i will be nice...
your right the only one i saw at auction in AZ sold for 11K i think. some shop owner bought it and probably doubled his money parting it out. But i dont know about you but i dont have 11K floating around.

But if i did. wait wasnt that another recent topic. heheh

 

to be honest with u imports are hard to get at auctions everyone wants em for parts weve got a junkyard and its easier to get hit by lightning than get imports for real

 

true that. I know the shop owners of one yard here and they actually call me when they get a CRX in cause im always parting them. but for newer cars like 94+ tegs and 96+ civics. forget it. the best places for newer cars is thepartstrader or ebay. sad as it may be.

 

the sohc vtec motor has no dohc but a b16 like your asking has dohc. so does the gsr motor, the gsr motor only has a 10 horse difference. and you can get a newer b16 and then sell the hydro tranny and get a cable tranny.

 

yeh thats true but if hes got the junk yard hookup like ME u dont need to buy and sell u just get it so he just gets all the parts and makes it a obd1 setup if he has to and rewires for the obd1 with a usdm cable tranny

 

ok im not even considering a B18 or b17. i really want a b16. im pretty set on it. so how hard is it to change the tranny from hydro to cable and what cars would i be looking for to find a b16 in it. also u said that alls i have to do to run obd1 is the distibutor and ecu. is that it or what else needs to be done.
