Hi I was wondering would a B16A3 fit into a 99-00 civic si (Canadian) or will I have problems ? Someone told me a b16a3 is for 96-98 civic's..

 

b16a3 came in del sol vtec


i belive your si will take it fine

 

in canada the SI is a Sir... SI is a sohc

it will fit but the b16a3 is obd1.. so different distirbutor plug, alternator plug, injectors and a few sensors.. which can all be used from the b16a2 if thats what you have already

 

it will fit np. it is an obd1 motor, but thats a good thing. obd2 is the devil, mineaswell switch now.

 

So will I get the check engine light if I swap the b16a3 in a 99 civic ?

By the way I am still looking for a civic I don't have the car yet. Do you guys think I should get a 96 dx ? then get the b16a3 ?

Yeah you'll get the check engine light accmpanied by at least two codes - CKF sensor, secondary oxygen sensor - unless you modify some things.

First of all answer this for us Americans who are not sure what your Canadian car has:

Does your car have a SOHC, or DOHC engine right now?

 

lol he doesnt even have a car yet

 

I am looking to buy a civic I don't have it yet but the SI's here have SOHC...

I think I am going to start looking at 96-98 civics now (coupe) you guys think its a good idea instead of getting the 99-00 civic ? I really like the front oem bumper on those thats why I want it lol..

PS: I do have a car (93 del sol) I want to buy a civic coupe now.

 

any civic will be the same.. get what you like

when you do the swap . do a obd2-1 conversion save your self some troubles

 

will I be able put a oem 99-00 civic front bumper on a 96-98 civic or no ?

No.

The entire front end is different from 96-98 and 99-00 - do a search, or coick the sticky "FAQ" topic and find the topics covering the front end conversion.
