I'd say b16A2. What's the JDM equivalent of that engine?

the easiest swap would be the D16Y8 from the ex trim level, but a good choice would be the b16a3 from the 95 del sol, a b16a2 would be harder to swap since they have different OBD's.

True, but if you could figure out how to ork through the OBD differences, you'd be getting a much newer engine with the B16A2 ('99-'00 Si). It wouldn't be that hard, would it? What exactly would you have to do if you were going from OBD1 to OBD2?

I wouldn't recommend it. Though the h22 is a beast of an engine, its sheer size and weight will screw up the weight distribution in your civic. It's a difficult swap becuase of its size. The civic engine bay wasn't built for such a large engine. Refer to the link at the top of the '92+ civic forum for some more info.

After looking around and researching on what engine I should get I've finaly decided to go with the b20 vtec setup. Could you guys help me out and tell me some good sites to get the extra components I'm gonna need for this setup that are reasonibly priced. What am I all gonna need for this setup?
