B16 swap

is 500 a good price to pay for engine swap for b16? for installation on 91 civic

hell yea, but what is wrong with the motor? 500 is about just enough to cover the head on the b16.

Are you talking about the entire swap or just installation?

just the install. 1600 for motor out the door

2100 for the installed swap is a good price. I would go for it if you like the shop and don't want to do the work yourself.:)

might sound like a stupid question but is there going to be very noticable difference going form stock to b16A1?
bare with me im new to engines and such

Hehehe...funny you ask:)

dx/lx 92hp

ex/si 108 hp

hf/std 70+ hp

b16a 160 hp

Adding 52-90 hp to your stock car is a big difference. I went from running high 17's with the 92hp dx motor to running 14.5-14.8 with the b16a and i/e/clutch. Knocked almost 3 seconds off my 1/4 mile time plus it is a blast to drive on the street.

thanks for info. was going to add mods to engine but since i will more than likely swap for b16a should i wait before getting headers,intake, ect....?

yes, none of the parts u buy for an sohc motor are gonna fit the b16, cept for intake and some fuel stuff.

so if i were to get CAI for my the engine i have now. it will fit on b16?

A 2/3 jump in HP? Ya, you'll notice. ;)

As for the intake, you can use the intake intended for the car if you really want, but its kinda small for the B16.. 90-93 Integra apparently works perfect and is the right diameter. OR, you can relocate the battery and use an 99-00Si intake.


Do I even need to verify how much fun it is? :naughty:

AEM has actually come out with a line of Hybrid Engine/Car intakes just for this sort of thing.
