I have a built b16a from my old crx hf i'm going to install. It has 12:1 wiseco pistons, shot peened rods, portflow valve springs, crower cams, light flywheel, act clutch kit, etc.

I don't plan on modifying this car aside from the swap and a few jdm parts like exhaust and suspension.

It will not be slow once my b16 is dropped in.. it's no slouch by any means.

I got the VTEC version, and its not fast. B16 has no torque. My brothers' 92 SI is faster than my Del Sol...Its just a fun little car that is quite "unique".

B16 has no torque but it sure is a fun engine. and your EG2 is a lot lighter than my EM1 for sure

looks good, have fun with it...and keep it low profile, thieves (and ricers) wont have a clue of your mad VTAKKK

You're right, there is not much torque in a built b16. But my plan was to stay within Honda specs to retain a good comfortable balance. This is a daily driver, not a race car..


Thanks for the input guys

I might do that. It will be a few weeks minimal before I do the swap. I'd give your dad 50 in gas for towing the engine up there and i'll just follow him.

I've been looking at the jdm 1 piece head lights with a 96-97 front bumper, good stuff.

if you really want it to be a fast daily driver, you should take out the seats and put my si seats in because the del sol seats are too heavy. You can just ship your seats to my house and ill get rid of them for you. congrats by the way
