Hi all,

I'm new to honda tech, but have been a reader for awhile. Was hoping to get some help on a question I have about my 99 civic si build. I checked the FAQ and did a little searching first so I hopefully wouldn't waste time with a noob question.

Anyway, I'm preparing for a turbo build and seeing as my SI is my DD i am looking for another short block to build up and eventually throw in. I have found some decent prices on jdm obd 1 b16 blocks compared to usdm obd 2 blocks. My question is what (if anything) will need to be modified to slap in a jdm b16 block onto my SI tranny and head? The FAQ had most of the usual things for an entire swap (dizzy, injector clips, alternator, etc.) which don't apply to me. I gather the CFK bypass trick will need to be done, but do any other major modifications need to be done?

Thanks for the help!

 

anyone?

 

a jdm b16 block is the same as a b16a2 block..there really is no diff...the jdm block will bolt up to ur usdm head and tranny no problem

 

ekb16 is right... jdm b16 is the same as usdm b16... everything bolts the same.. head, tranny, ac brackets power steering bracket. etc....

 

yea i just did one last nite.
