So I was thinking. I am going to buy a 1993 Honda Civic SI that already has B16A2 OBD motor installed and my question is this. Since this is not the stock motor, how to I go about buying parts for this motor like:
1. air intake
2. oil pan gasket
3. etc.
Do I have to specially order them or what?!

you don't by the parts pertaining to the car
you buy the parts pertaining to the motors.

 

For instance when you go to a store like autozone or whatever and you need a gasket or something like that, say you need so-and-so for a 99-00 Civic Si/1994-1997 Del Sol VTEC, both cars that came stock with B16's.

When you are buying something engine related, you always buy it for the engine you have, not the car that you have.

 

But isn't this particular motor a foreign one. Its for a SI-R I think.

It doesn't matter. B16A2/B16A3/JDM B16A are all the same motor when it comes to gaskets and **** like that.

 

What is the best intake for this motor? Are all intakes the same, pipe and filter..

Pretty much.
Spending the 300 more on a "jdm" J's racing carbon fiber intake just doesnt justify the 4 or 5 horse to me..

Yeah, they are pretty much all the same thing, maybe 1 hp difference at the most.

 

+1 very true !

Indeed.

Any 30 dollar ebay intake w/ a decent filter does the trick .

Doesn't do much for throttle response - but you'll get the best hp gain w/ a full CAI like the V2 from AEM.

 

So, but will regular SI parts like the V2 intake for the 2000 SI fit the 2000 SI-R motor?
