Any B series clutch will work. Depending on the kind of numbers you're planning on putting down will determine how aggresive of a clutch you will need. Vtec probably doe't work because whoever did the swap was probably just too lozy to wire up vtec to a non vtc model civic. What model civic do you have?

 

my bad i called in the vin numbers in to the dealership and they say this car came with the d16 sohc vtec motor stock usdm ex. now it has a b16a in it and a hack job of a harness. the ecu is chipped and it has a jumper down to obd1 but at some point someone still jumped the jumper for some odd reson. but anyway the car still runs and drives but down right now due to buying the wrong cluth. i kmow the 99-00 usdm si came with the b16a2 so is that the clutch i should look for . i did get a stage three xtr but they sent one for a d motot by mistake so now i have to get them to fix it but till then on foot . sucks but its a new car to me and have to find out things as i go ya know. then one day i will know all about it and can buy thre right parts for it.

 

'99 - '00 Civic Si, '94 - '97 Del Sol VTEC and '94 - '01 Integra (all models) all take the same clutch.

 

thanx for the help

 

should i try and find a engin wiring harness for the b16a or just stick with stock and use a new jumper and a p30 ecu

 

You have to run a '96 - '98 Civic harness and modify it, EX harnesses is already the easiest to use so just keep what you have.
