just got an ef with a b16a2 out of 00 si the swap was most of the way done just trying to finish up some things. can anyone tell me what the 2 things pointed at in pic are and if the thing in the circle needs a cap? Also if anyone knows what manifold I have. Also how can I tell if he changed to obd 0,1 or 2. thanks the guy I got the car from was not much help so im trying to find out what was done to car thanks for help

 

Both of those use to receive vacuum via the intake tube..

Most people just leave them unhooked..

The bottom connection on the one that says UP
used to be connected where the white vacuum cap is..

 

those are obd-0 dashpots.

 

Thats the older 1st gen B16a manifold..Those 2 things are called dashpots you dont need them,,i got rid of mine,,and most people do....

its either integra xsi or civic/crx sir,,,,one of them has 2 dashpots and the other only has 1....Forget exactly which one is out of which car.....


edit: beat me

 

too fast!

 

thanks guys so everything looks good the way it is? also whats best way to find out what obd it is.

the swap or the manifold?


a few ways to tell are the casting dates on the head. possibly the engine code (since you said it was from a 00) the ECU. but that manifold is definately an obd-0 88-91

Look at the ecu and if it has a little light on it then its obdo....Also check the ecu code to make sure they guy didnt just use some pm6 ecu..or something like that

the light is circled in this photo

 

look at the plugs on the dizzy. obd0 are like white clear brown cause they are old. obd1 grey obd2 not sure what color

 

checked the ecu its a pwo, and the dizzy plugs look clear to me so im gona guess its wired for obd0.

i have a red top jdm b16a (the xsi model- VTEC is bigger than DOHC) and i don't have any dash spots on my intake manifold. Are they different in size and/or looks or do u think that i have a different intake manifold

You probably have a different inake manifold or motor or head....cause the obdo b16a's have dashpots...Maybe you have an obd1 motor? plus you never know with these motors man,,i recently found out i have 1g b16 block,2g b16 head,1g b16 integra intake manifold,and different valve cover,92-93 integra xsi tranny..Just stupid ****,,and this was supposed to be a straight B16a sir swap....It doesnt really matter though cause you dont need the dashpots anyway,,

Also what do you mean redtop? the only redtops are the type-r motors

 

yea, i wasn't really worried about the dash spots, but thanks

and when i got my b16, i was looking it up and a large portion of b16's and xsi integras had red tops and i thought some came this way , my fault. but thats what learnings all about

Yeah alot of people paint them or replace with the typer cover ..so its confusing if you're just getting into honda motors....
