are there any differnces between this these motors? ive read that the xsi comes from a older intgera and the other is from a civic both are obd1 but is there really a diffcence? xsi is cheaper than the sir2?????/

 

I think it's cheaper cause it's older. Pretty sure it's the same motor though.

 

Big differences.

The B16A from the Integra XSi
OBD-0
10.2:1 CR
160hp
CABLE TRANNY

B16A from EG6
OBD-1
10.4:1 CR
170hp
HYDRO TRANNY

 

B16A2

- bigger TB -60mm
- better intake manifold
- single 4 wire o2 sensor for exhaust, being obdI
- better cams
- P30 pistons for 10.4:1 compression

The engine makes similar power, but has a better powerband, better idle quality, better mileage

 

the one i saw they were both ob1 its on hmotors.com

 

why buy such an old engineeeee

 

well thats what i was trying to figure out cuz if there the same thing what does it matter am i right? but if the performace is the same why not get the cheaper one that does the same thing?? lol and if they have the same parts and can use interchangable parts id like to save a lil money ya know... but i do see were ur coming from on the age..

 

GET THE B16A SIR2 ITS WAY BETTER HAS MORE COMPRESSION,CAMS ARE BETTER AND IS NOT THAT OLD
