1st gen B16's aren't nearly as fast as the newer ones but sell for a cheaper price. Keep that in mind when you order. And LSD gets from me. It's also a lot cheaper to get the swap with LSD than it is to buy and install later. My $.02.

The B16A3 or B16A2 with the S21 tranny (came with US B16A2/3) shouldn't be hard to fit. No US market S21 transmission came with an LSD from the factory.

A3 is ODB1, A2 is ODB2. Which to use depends on what age your car is. If your car is 96+, and will be driven on public roads, legally you must get a ODB-2 engine. Otherwise you can use either one.

My problem with the S21 is the top gear, it turns around 3K RPM when doing 55.
