does the b16a have potential in a 4 door eg? cos if you're comparing the prices between a b16a, b18c and b16b, the difference isn't funny. all i want to know is for those of you who has a b16a in your 4 door eg, how is it running?

 

my friend has a b20vtec in a 4 door eg and it runs a strong 13.9...i dont think the b16 would have the torque or power to push that big car...that would be liek putting a b16 in an integra haha. at least get a b18...jsut my $.02

 

Of course it has some potential, otherwise Honda would not have made the EG9 (Civic SiR)

 

b16a is more than enough for a 5th gen civic of any model. b20vtec would definatly be a lot more fun though

 

Doesnt really matter much what kind of EG it is, any Eg is pretty light so having 160 hp will help quite a bit

 

correct me if I'm wrong, but EG sedans are lighter than the coupes..

depending on the trim

 

With that swap is it possible to retain AC and PS?

not sure about ps, but you need a 95 del sol vtec(b16) ac bracket and tensioner to make AC work when putting any b series in place of d series, same applies for any 92-00 civics

 

eg sedans with no moon roof are lighter than coupes and hatchbacks with them (EX and SI models). IMO b16 doesn't have a lot of torque unless you're going turbo. All motor wise I would rather go with at least an LS. b20's are not legal in california so that sucks for people like me.

There are all honda and Acura weights and the 4 door eg dx is lighter then plenty of the cars including the hatch.
I have a jap spec b16 in my 4 door eg and i love it its no race car but makes for a great daily driver.

 

Well I could honestly tell you that there will be a big difference from your stock sohc to a dohc regardless of what type of b-series you get...

 

i sold my ecu to some guy with a 4dr eg with a jdm b16 sir2...i was expecting it to be weak and crappy but i was surely surprised...i mean a gsr or type r would obviously do a little better with the larger horsepower number and larger torque numbers but...the b16 is still a good motor

 

Cool thank you. Now to decide B16 or save over a grand and go LS.

Boosted LS

 

id personally go with the LS...bigger displacement and the swap would be cheaper than the b16 if u search around

 

anything is better then a D15

 

the eg9 is all the proof you need its gotta good history in the 4dr
