Red B16A

I Bought this 95 Civic Hatchback and it has a B16A but need to Know What it came out of? It say's B16A, but has a HM with circle stamped around it next to the B16A. It's a 5millions series but havn't looked at whats after it, but the head has 91 stamped in it on the left side and to the right it says PR3 ( I dont know what PR3 means). Also it has a Y21 Tranny. NEED HELP!

5million series = Second Gen

You should look at what # is after it if you want to be sure. It's probably a 1st gen since it's a '91. The 2nd gen was from '92-'95.

Red B16A

The first three numbers are 540 , but then way is the head a 91, deosn't that defeat the porpose of the second generation B16A with 170 horses or not? And what does PR3 mean, I see it alot on Ebay for chips and stuff?

CivicSpoon

Oh you know what, it probably is a 2nd gen. Like how they made some of the '92-'95 Civics in late '91, but they are still 5th gen civics.

PR3 is a bunch of stuff. It's the identification code on the ECU and for the pistons. It's probably some more stuff too that I can't think of (or things I jsut don't know).

the b16a came out of the DA integras, they are dohc vtec 145hp and the vtec kicked in at 4500rpm, not a very reliable motor.

actually a b16a is found in the JDM/EDM civic/crx SI-R's and made 160hp and 112lb/ft. it is a very reliable motor, with endless posibilites for modding and build-ups. it was also one of the first motors to make 100hp per liter of displacement.

its definatly a first gen motor, the 1million series was the newer versions, the 5millions were older. from what you describe it was manuafactured in 91.

What about the B16A Spotting post on the forun it say's that if it is a 5 million series with the starting numbers of 54 it is a 2nd generation B16A for a 92 and above and it could make sense because if it was built in late 91 it could of been for 92 car. The resone for all this is so I can find a repair manual for my motor and a few people told me that you canuse a manual for a B16A3 del sol with DOHC.

The b16a identification thing should probably be tweaked a little to include the late '91's as the '92-'95 b16a's
But yes you can use the del sol manual, it's basically the same exact engine. It just has slightly higher compression, and maybe a few minor changes, nothing that you would have to worry about. But the del sol manual will be perfect for anything dealing with the motor.
