This may be a noob question. But why doesnt hmotorsonlone.com not have a b16 for an ek? i haven't found one yet in the past hour. Call me a dumbass... I'd love to buy from em cuz everyone says they are the best. But i dont know which motor to get!

 

not sure if im correct but, didnt the 99 SI civic(EK i thnk) come with a b16, i would think they'd swap right in.

 

Yeah but my beef with the motors is that the year models dont match up. They have like 92-95 90-92 they dont have any ob2, which im 99% positive i need for a swap to run in my ek hatch.

 

So get an obd1 motor and convert. That way you can chip it and have a good-ol-time.

 

The B16B is out of an EK CTR. The B16A from the 92-95 chassi will work just fine, as will just about all the motors they supply.

 

I knew i could convert the obd1 to obd2, but why wont hmotors sell any ek b16's? i find it odd. But that sounds good bcause their prices are pretty nice. Im ordering one asap.

Doesn't both the 92-95 and 96-00 B16A2(JDM) rate at the same HP and TQ number, and the only difference is in the OBD.

 

County emissions laws might not let you put a OBD1 motor in a 96+ car. Although when I got my civic inspected, I asked him what they'd do if the OBD2 plug wasn't giving them a signal, they said they would just run the ASM test at that point.

I believe this is correct.

 

I'd go with http://www.importautosalvage.com since you are on the east coast. You'll have your motor a day after ordering it. Call them and ask for Randy.

I've heard nothing but good things about them.

 

usually the obd 1 and 2 b16 are the same price. you need to call steve on that. i have gotten 2 obd2 b16 swaps from him. i know he has them.

and since you are in ga, try http://www.importautosalvage.com larry is a standup guy as well.

 

IAS tends to be a good bit more expensive than HMO, but you'll have to look very hard to even try to find a problem with the JDM swaps they sell. I've done a couple of OBD-1 B16 swaps into EK's and it's not like it's hard.

 

I hear good things about IAS as well.. but they're selling a D16Z6 for 1,020.00. That's a bit too much if you ask me.

What other places that sell D16's for cheap?

 

hmotorsonline does have more engines that whats on their site, you know that right? call steve and talk to him. im sure they have b16a2's

 

Ok, sounds all good. Like i need to narrow down prices after shipping. Because they are both reputable compaines.
