2nd gen B16?

does anyone know if the 2nd gen B16 are any good. i need to know if they last, hp, tq, and if there are many mods for them. also anyone's overall opinions on the engine.

it is almost the same as the first one excpet it has 170 hroses and i don't know how much torque. my friend has one and i liked it alot. i kno it comes with a hydro tranny but if you don't have a hydro sell that tranny and buy a cable and you are straight

2nd. Generation B16A motors came in the JDM Civic SiRs.

168hp 111lb.ft. of torque OBDI hydro transmission


I love the B16A....any parts? hell...the B16A has one of THE LARGEST AFTERMARKETS!!!!!!!

Please tell them that SEAN sent u if u buy a motor!

The B16A is a very reliable motor. Has a large aftermarket and tons of potential. It's a great motor for the Civic enthusiast on a budget.

i just dont know if i want that old of a engine. i mean the 2nd gen series is old, even though this motor has 0 miles on it.

Honda motors last a long time my friend

i know honda motors last a long time. i just dont know if i should get this engine or save some more and get a 5th or 6th gen B16.

hold on...

The B16A came out as B16a1 in the 88-91 CRXs. Cable tranny, non-OBD. And the one in the old JDM Tegs.

Then, there's the second gen. B16A. That's the one I talked about. Came in the JDM 92-95 CIvic SiRs. OBDI hydro tranny

Then there is the B16A found in the del Sol VTEC which is OBD1 and OBDII. Depending on the year u buy.

Then, there's the B16A found in the 99-00 Civic Si. OBDII hydro.

Which are you talking about?

What car is the motor going into?

i am talking about the 92-95, but the one that i really want is the 99-00 SI (J-spec) version.

Why do you want one of those? OBDII isn't the greatest....

i want to make my car a customized SI

So, can you tell me the year, make and model OF YOUR CAR PLEASE?!?! i could help u a lot more then

i was originally planning on a GSR swap but then i decided that i wanted to keep it a civic. the car that i have is a 96' HX (manual) with Greddy EVO exhaust, AEM CAI, and HP Racing headers. i am rollin' on some 17" Smith's Twisters, but that is going to change to the SI rims( look good and way a hell of a lot less)

Oh ok...the 99-00 Si motor is best, either that or the JDM 96-00 SiR/Ferio Si motor (B16A2)

www.redime.com Get the ODBII(2) hydro transmission B16A. $2700 shipped! And..please tell them that Sean sent u!!

Less torque than what? a 5l V8? yes. A 2l i6? yes. a 1600 SOHC D series? NO!

For a little 4cly the B16a is an amazingly torquey engine, and what it lacks in peak torque compared to larger engines it makes up for in having a very flat and very useable torque curve.
