Jdm b16 3rd gen is out of an Si-R correct? also is 2000 a good price to pay for complete swap with approx 39k on it?

 

I would say that is a pretty good price. Considering it has 39000 miles on it.

 

thats an ok $$ but you should shop around some more....

 

i just dont know where, and i blew my motor so i need a new one pronto!

 

jdm motors dont have number after the letter

b16a2= 99-00 civic si

 

A few sites are password jdm, and jpr motorsports.

yeha i figued, but how do i know its a "jdm" motor, not that it is really and different (by much) but if i am told thats what i am paying for i would like to know its what i get

 

it will simply be a b16a and not an a2, anything w/ a # after is usdm
b16a = jdm
b16a2= usdm

 

Can anyone tell if this is truly JDM or not lol

 

if by jdm you mean clean...then yes

 

damnit i cant find anything, i was thinking ebay because i am going to rebuild the motor anyways, but they wanted me to send 2000$ to the middle of canada!

 

Look at the engine code stamp on the motor to see if it's a jdm. Like already stated, JDM won't have any numbers on it. It will be stamped B16 and the year of the motor will be stamped on the head.

 

what the expletive do you mean clean? its got writing and is dirty.

The yellow circle is where it will be stamped "B16A2" or "B16A", that's really the only way to tell on these motors. If someone's trying to sell you a "JDM B16A2", you may want to reconsider... Also, not to deliberately burst your bubble, but there's really no way to tell if the motor has 39,000 or 390,000 miles on it...unfortunately engine swap mileage is on the honor system.

yeah true, but i am going to be re-doing the bottom end for turbo application anyways and so i figured if it looks really bad ill have the valves redone and it wont really matter how many times are on it....but i cant find a freakin motor!

 

pennies_hatchie has a Gsr longblock for 1250.00

Start here if you want to know places that are worth looking at:

If you are going to rebuild anyway, just get something with a million miles on it. Will be much cheaper anyway. And if you are running this setup already, then just buy a longblock.
