motor in question is a b16a2 map is on tb
serial code starts with 12xxx....
it has an oil cooler before filter
oil bar above cam has duel raised edges along the center
iat sensor is on the runner on the im
rhd harness
i dont know if this matters but i didnt look if it had a knock sensor
motor is not obd2 no crank sensor

I removed the RHD harness last night all hardware that locks it in place including plastic zip ties that snap in to metal holders with 10 mm bolts ect were intact and never removed and the plastic clips some broke when I removed them. they were never removed in the first place im under the impression that its a virgin motor maybe a ukdm motor. I did a compression test and all #'S were very high :

225 220 230 217 dry
235 232 235 230 wet with light wd 40 spray

the head gasket is 3 layer and usdm b16 motors usually dont have compression that high ...disregard this if its irrelevant but its info i thought id give

also the oil filter was made by Vic which is a jap filter not to say you cant get them here but ive never seen them
so what's the verdict

Yeps sounds like its from a DA.
I recently put the same motor into a EG that already had an LS swap in.
Just so you know, you'll need to swap out the timing belt mount(the one bolted to the block) for the mount from '94-up b series, in order to put it into your EG or EK.

yea or they just gave him a old *** head on the Si Block.. damn.. well if he says its obd1 then it wouldnt be a Si motor..

 

delsols came in obd2 also
motor is not obd2 no crank sensor
so it has to be a xsi motor they are obd1 even if its 92?

call hmotors if u got it from them. dont ask people on here to tell what motor it is. your the one in front of it. call steve and tell him your dilemma.

 

I have a jdm b16a sir2, head stamp is 91 and is available in the 91-95 honda civics in japan, how do I know? because I bought an eg6 front clip and pulled the motor out, it's definately out of an eg and I used my stock map which was located on the firewall to plug into the TB before I swapped to an itr im/tb.

 

oh yea, it is obd1

 

same here

ur right, i was lookin that he said the head said 94 so...

 

There was no OBD2 B16a2 Del sol In the States, and In Japan It would just be a B16A.

 

omg...all these people have replies and everyone still deciding whether this is a jdm motor??...There is no b16a2 jdm motor...its a USDM if its stamp b16a2

since when where there no b16a2 delsols in the states ive seen a few myself

 

There are obd2 del sols. They were from 96-97 and the motor is the same code as the 99-00 SI.

The JDM B16 with a 91 head stamp is out of a 92 car which does not have a TB mounted map. Both of my B16's came this way and both were obd-1 hydro JDM B16's.

 

ty sir for clearing it up
but i just got a jdm b16a2 with head code stamped 94 and its an obd1 motor with map on tb it has an jdm wire harness im wondering what car it came from

 

there is no such thing as a "JDM B16a2" the a2 is the 96-97 del sol vtec and the 99-00 civic si coupe. just like the b16a3 is from the 93-95 del sol.

your an idiot. research your **** before you reply on here

 

JDM B16A's should only say "B16A", no A2 or A3 or A1.....
