I'm new to the honda game Guys, actually new to cars all together and i need your input, Will a b16a2 Bolt straight in to a 94 del sol? PLease list all the steps i need to go through to do this if ti will not fit. The motor came from jdm and is supposed to fit in a 88-91 Civic. any input is valued

 

I did a quick search of all of H-T with Google. I used the search term b16a2 del sol swap.
26,000 related results.

should bolt in with usdm 99-00 civic si engine mounts or del sol si b series engine mounts(ebay 100 bucks)......as far as the wiring goes....if your del sol is vtec already the computer is almost useless...u can get a base mapped and chipped p28 with jumper harness on ebay also for about 250.00... you'll need b series del sol shift linkages also(ebay)...there are other ways to do this but your car is obd 1 so for tuning porposes i suggest this way as it would most likely be the easiest route...

 

I Forgot to metion that My del sol is just a shell and and i'm buying the complete Motor that comes with everything Including the ECU and The five speed tranny

 

that might work but i dont think for sure if the obd0 ecu and engine harness(assuming ur motors coming with the engine harness) will connect and work properly with your cars body harness...u might have to do alot of splicing and thats may become a headache...if u gave more details on what the car has and doesnt have it may be more useful in my helping u

 

If it really is an OBD0 B16A sell it to someone with an '88 - '91 Civic, it's not worth the time and effort to swap.

 

Ok,
First, Look in the 92-00 Civic FAQ, you will find more detailed answers and posts regarding this swap.

Second, your car is OBD1. B16a2 IIRC is OBD2 from USDM/CDM 99-00 Civic Si. If it were a JDM engine it would be marked B16a, you need to research and read before you drop money on an engine that either has been described to you wrong or you are adding information about.

Read this to better explain the differences in B16 engines available and what markets they were available in.

Here is all the info On the motor from ebay.

OH and my del sol is just a del sol S

 

Again, absolutely not worth buying. It uses a cable tranny, so you'll need a hydro to cable conversion, or a hydro tranny (neither one is particularly cheap and the conversion kits rarely work well) you'll need an OBD1 distributor, injectors and ECU as well, plus custom motor mounts. Or you could just buy an OBD1 B16A swap that just drops in for a little more money (by the time you figure in all the other stuff you'll need it's going to cost you more with the engine you're looking at anyway)

 

Save yourself a lot of headache and money and find an engine for your car, meaning 92-95 Civic/Delsol OBD1 with hydro trans. Your link is for a 88-91 OBD0 engine with cable style trans.

 

Thank you everyone for your input, you saved my *** from making a bad descion. And thank you for looking out for me, Like i said i;m new to the honda game and Cars all around.

 

Would this fit?

First, I would buy from hmotorsonline.com, not from tigerjapanese!!! Read the links below, tigerjapanese have had way too many horror stories pop up for me to ever consider buying from them.

Second, read this and familiarize yourself with swaps and engines
https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/engine-swap-info-faqs-how-ck-engine-lights-878010/

 

Yes, but I wouldn't buy it from tiger japanese.

 

There is no doubt that Hmotorsonline.com has the best warranty/guarantee and track record
but us guys on the east coast pay out the nose for shipping and handling from SoCal.

These guys in Texas offer free shipping (holy ****!) to a business with a loading dock or forklift and $65 to a
residential address. The have a decent warranty/guarantee, but I cannot vouch for them, nor do I know
anyone who has done business with them.

Although, unless I hear bad stuff, I will probably buy my next motor from them.

The only engine I ever bought personally came from a place called sunrise JDM, had absolutely no issues (i've put 80,000kms on it since I bought it) but i'm literally the only person I know that's bought an engine from them.

 

I've bought from hmotorsonline, Nippon motors, Kwatanabe all out of California and Jhot Imports in Denton, Texas I was pleased with every engine from all 4 importers. Never one issue, I prefer the Cali importers, since I go to Cali 4 times a year and can pick them up in person.

 

where are u from?
look at jdm engine depot its in carnie nj...got all my engines there none over 45k miles and all under a grand...if u bid on ebay u can always get them cheap there. i never had any problems with there b20's other than tryin to put too much boost into an untouched stock single sleeve motor...lol hit 18psi and 297whp227tq on the last one before grenading it
