i haven't heard this topic discussed. maybe cause it's not possible. but i was wondering if you could do a b16b swap into a 2nd gen crx? if it is possible, what do you need to do it?

 

How much have you looked around ? Yes it can be done.

Try using that, not to be a jerk but I know it's been posted before. If you don't know it's the same as doing any other b series swap with the exception of the harness.

Try searching for b series into ef and you'll get a couple of pages.

he wants a B16B no A

 

b16b Civic Type-R engine? It is pretty easy to do, my friend just did that to his Rex, it turned out pretty nice!

 

B16B in an EF

 

the main thing i can think of is that it uses a hydro tranny. so either find a cable tranny to use, or get the adaptor kit that will be coming out soon for this application (search for the thread for details).

 

I am DROOLING over that swap.... oh man I want one. I would love to have that motor!!!!! It's OBD-II is it not? It has like a 9000 RPM rev limiter too!!! I hear it's basically a de-stroked Type R motor with all the good stuff... cams, pistons, etc etc.... It's just 1.6 litre so it has a better rod ratio. That's my dream motor right there!

 

you mean 8600 rpm rev limiter?

 

That motor is purely for status. I would rather do a gsr swap and cams and probably still have money left over, plus be much faster. Torque is important, whether or not the engine seems to have a lot of horsepower for displacement.

 

i respect the little B16B. so much power from 1.6 liter. yeah it may not have torque, but do any 4 cylinder Honda VTEC motors have torque? not really. if it wasn't so damn expensive and complicated, i would definitely get one.

i agree. its just so that you can say "yo i got a b16b", kinda the same idea of the b18c5. you'd be better off getting a cheaper b series and going FI for the same amount of money since you'd be faster that way in the end. but as far as reliability and simplicity are concerned, the b16b is a nice choice if its like the last mod you plan on making to your car.

 

I would slap in a b18c crank and rods, and have one fast b16b.

 

That is one nice swap you got there. Clean as fawk too. If someone were to run that motor with ODB-0 sir-1 ignition and whatnot to keep the swap simple, would the engine be robbed of power?

 

doesit bolt right up like the b16a?

 

B16A isn't a direct bolt-in for the CRX. You need a B-series mount kit.

The big problem with the B16B is that for about the same price, you can get a B18C5. And with a B18C5 you will have quite a bit more power AND torque. And like a B18C1 vs a B16A, the B18C5 will probably respond better to mods. As for the ECU, I am not sure whether it is truly an OBDII-type ECU. It does have OBDII plugs. But it is likely just an 'OBDI' ECU with OBDII plugs similar to the 1996-1999 JDM B18C5 ECU.

It would be robbed of power for a couple of reasons. First of all, the fuel and timing maps are not going to be right. And second of all, the rev limit will be lower. Both of these will reduce peak power. Also, the PR3/PW0 will require a different distributer (1G JDM B16A) and that crappy dual oxygen sensor setup.
