Look at the numbers and figure it out.

 

i have got a chance of getting a b16a2 1992-1996 out of a eg why do you think that it is better ? more performance upgrades ?

 

1. It's a newer motor
2. it's 92-95

 

you could buy my 00 B16a2....

 

whats a civic VTi

 

If i'm not wrong it's the uk model..

Vti is like our Si

 

B16A1, there is no such thing. Many people say that referring to the 1st gen B16A which is found in the CR-X SiR with a PW0 ECU (OBD0).

B16A2 is found in the US 99-00 Civic Si with a P2T ECU (OBD2b).

The 1st gen B16 has softer cams, is older, and usually comes with a cable tranny.

The B16A2 is OBD2 and is more suitable to swap into 92-00 Civics.

99-00 Sir Canada

 

92-95 EG in japan is B16A.
