if i was to swap a b16 how woulod i know if its obd1 or 2??? i kno i should go with the original gsr but its $$$ and from wat my boi told me b16 aint to far from the gsr. thing is would the b16 swap in good also?? any opinions please??

 

I like to look at the o2 sensors to tell but there are man other ways...

OBD0- 1 wire o2 sensor
OBD1 - multiple wire o2 sensor
0BD2 - mulitiple o2 sensors

 

You may want to consider a B20 swap. Less money and more torque. You would
have to invest alot of money to get the extra HP out of the B16 and your torque
would still be low. Your also putting the B16 into a heavier car. Some people
are also having good luck with B18 motors with mild builds. Good Luck!

Why would he want to consider a b20 swap? Its a bigger motor but only has 6ftlbs more torque and is known for its weak sleves.

 

hmmm guess it depends on where u get the motor. but most of the time u would find a b20 swap cheaper then a b16. also its more than 6lbs of torque between the b16 and b20. b20 has 133 and the b16 has about 111-118. depending on which b16 u have. anyway not here to argue just wanted to point that out.

Boosted or not the sleves are still weak.

 

from wat iv heard also the b20 is a weaker engine and not worth gettin so the b20 is outa the question. the b16 still has some ***** no?? i mean the b18 would be better but seriously how much worse would the b16 be . im not going turbo anytime soon or maybe in the future so.... ight hit me bac!!!!

that's where a good tune comes in. the sleeves tend to crack because of detonation or if they're just in bad shape to begin with.

a b20 would be much better in an integra than a b16. b16's are incredibly overhyped. yeah i said it.

Overhyped? They were the first motor to obtain 100hp per liter they are nice motors and will last forever if treated right. Of course there are better motors out there but for the price a b16 isnt bad and its just as slow as an ls motor.

 

daaaamn lol hating on b16s....... well b20 i dont think is the way to go jus cause the stories i heard i mean yeah u shouldnt always go by wat people tell u depending if they know wat their talking about or not but.... i mean we'll see im jus trying to get some ideas u know cause this summer im going to buy an engine but wanna make sure im gettin something worth my while

 

lol least jimmy dont hate all that much ahahah i mean least they got a lil ***** to them ...

Faster.

 

you can tell the year by the head #'s and block serial
post those

and a b20 does not make the same torque as a b16..lol maybe close stock peak, but area under the curve is much more important.

b16 is nice, but is lost cause if you want to go all motor...

rather be head of mouse or tail of lion?? aarrrgghh

 

listen man, ihave a 92 teggy and i put a B16A3 in it and im very happy, i did the same thing you are, should i shouldn't i find someone who has the setup you want and ask them to take you for a boot or better yet, if they rae a friend take it for a tear and see if its for you , i like it because i can rev the **** out of it and it loves it

 

this going to be a lot of planning but thanks guys for ur advice
