Ok so everywhere that I search for motors I see that the JDM B16A's are cheaper for the 88-91 civic/crx's because there OBD0... They're like 1100 complete swap... And for my chassis I need OBD1 "92-95 civic" engine, but those complete swaps are like 2500... Why not just buy the obd0 an convert it for merely half of what i'd pay to get the OBD1...????? Is there a catch to this..?? Do 88-91 axles work on 92-95...?? Thats all I could think be different besides injectors, dizzy, an ecu... Which I have in my garage already.... Not really anything to search for on this question, just wonderin how to save a couple bucks if possible...??

 

you get what you pay for why buy a motor that 12-15 years old and risk failure when you can get something a little newer not to mention that most if not all the 88-91 b16 are cable while the newer ones are hydraulic clutches

 

Show me where you could buy a complete swap JDM b16 1st gen for 1100.

 

Attention!

The deal is too cheap.

And the 1st gen cost more to fit in the EG compare to the 2 nd gen.

And the motor is only 160HP

exactly what i was thinking. I own a JDM B16A and the complete swap was for 1800. the 2nd gen would go for 2300 or 2200.

 

well, you would need a different tranny, dizzy, ecu, and wiring. i am using an obd0 longblock in my del sol right now. not very tough actually, just get the axels from a teggy, and tranny from a del sol vtec or 99-00 si. cost of a longblock is only 600 from hmo, and you would use the wiring harness from a 92-95 ex, and dizzy from del sol vtec.

Yeah but I mean 2nd gen engines have been 2300 forever, i guess im just a bitcher an think **** should decrease in price as they age.. I mean how many B series motors did Honda actually make lol... They cant last forever...!!! OR CAN THEY...!!! DUHDUH DUNNNNNNNNN....!!

haha in the midst of all the seriousness I found the need for a joke to be inserted so i applied an accepted all oncomers to FLaMe ThEE, but instead i made a funny lol good ****... ;-) but i still think HMO, PW-JDM, JDM Addiction, an all the other places that sell motors need to re-evaluate there price sheet lol.... Lower the B16's to upper 16-1700's an gsr's to about 23-2400 an I SWEAR... They'd sell at least 1 or 2 more a week lol....

 

just get an obd1 longblock, and whatever Bseries hydro tranny you want. grab an obd1+ intake manifold, and thermostat housing, the rest is a basic B series swap. 10 flywheel hp isnt worth the $$$

 

Will my modded DX harness "modded for vtec" work on an OBD1 longblock...?? I've searched but nobody seems to have ever wrote a post on DX harness B series engine...??

 

what year dx??? ef, eg, ek.

 

eg... i have 94 dx "all engine info is in my sig"

yes it will work but you have to hook up vtec and knock. just get the obd-1 swap complete and save yourself the trouble

 

tru it sounds like just spendin the extra cash would save TONS of hassle... i was just tryna save a few bucks ya know...

in the words of someone on here that i once saw...


You can always be 2 of these not all 3...

1. Fast
2. Reliable
3. Inexpensive


haha, just tryna add a couple smiles today for us with HUGE POUNDING single cam headaches lol...

 

what hassle, swapping the intake manifold, thermostat housing, and dizzy. whats hard about that.

cuz dude than id actually have to use a wrench an put some elbow grease into it... cant do that shiit..... haha j/k it just sounds like an OBD1 swap sounds more reliable than buying an OBD0 mileage wise, condition wise, an mechanically wise because its a simple plug n play, no need to have to search for other parts an ****... i understand where ur comin from though, ima techie too an i love rippin **** apart an puttin it back together to run a lil better, but i was simply stating that for most people it'd probably just be easier to get the obd1 swap... also, would any of my D parts work..?? therm. housing, dizzy..??

 

well, you asked if why the 2ng gen was so expensive and if you could use the 1st gen. im not saying thats what i would do, but its possible.
