New Engine for my Sol

Ok, question. Well, two actually. 1. I was thinking of getting a b16a2 DOHC to replace my b16a SOHC. Will it be a sizable difference or should I look elsewhere? 2. Will I need the tranny and ect... for the new b16a2 or will my stock stuff work?

P.S. Just got my Del Sol so trying to feel my way through the mods.

Uy... Ok 1. You either have a D15B7 or a D16Z6 right now, Not a B16. 2. If you want to swap to the B16A2 you'll have to convert to OBD2. Maybe you mean the B16A3 which is OBD1, as is your car. As for your other questions...

And next time, Search before you post a question.

Sorry about that but I had no idea where to start looking. There aren't exactly many easy to find Del Sol Tech sites out there if you know what I mean. Thanks for your help though, I'll spend more time looking next time before I post. Much appreciated.

Almost forgot... so if I get a b16a3 I could use my existing parts?

Not to be an ass, but did you read it?

2. Only engines with the same letter association have compatible part. IE B-series with B-series and D-series with D-Series.

To be honest at first I didn't. Was looking for a quick answer. It was hidden in there but I found it. I was expecting to find the post tailored to my needs. That post should have enough information for me to learn the rest on my own. Thanks again.

first off audio mans right about what you got in your car but you dont need to convert to obd2 its just for smog an diagnostics you'll be fine with out it but your check engine light will just stay on better to convert though go to jdmspec.com :2cents:

oh, and by the way any time you dont know what exact type of engine you have its usually located on the front of the bell housing

but you dont need to convert to obd2

Yea, you do, becuase if he has an OBDI harness it will not match up with the OBDII motor. Neither will the ECU. Also the engine code is on the front of the block, to the left of the exhuast manifold. And please dont bring back old threads.

a audio man i aint trying to say you dont know your shit but you should double check because "first off the id is not on the block" . i think after working on cars for 10 years you would learn a few things an one thing i've learned is that the id is located on the clutch housing aka the bell housing an on autos its on the top of the transaxle housing oh and b4 you post read the fine print the "obd 1 or 2 is not needed period!" in lamens terms your car will live without it but you wouldn't be able to run proper comp. diagnostics an you would have a hard time passing smog
anways good luck with the swap

hey first off, your wrong... hate to break it to you but on honda motors the engine code is on the block... and if you have been working on cars for 10 years, you should know that...

Heres a quick pic i took to prove you wrong... now please dont post shit you know nothing about. thanks and have a wonderful day :smile::smile::smile:

oh and in you profile it says your b-day is in 1986? that make you 19... so if you mean to tell me youve been working on cars (helping daddy change the oil doesnt count) since you were 9?? do your self a favor and dont come back until you learn to accept when you are wrong

Nicely put, Green.

Really blast, before you come here taking an attitue to things I say, make sure you know what your talking about.

Also oh and b4 you post read the fine print the "obd 1 or 2 is not needed period!" in lamens terms your car will live without it but you wouldn't be able to run proper comp. diagnostics an you would have a hard time passing smog
I feel like you're trying to communicate...if you mean that OBD doesn't matter than your an idiot.

you hard ass internet warriors are both wrong !!! get a manual an look up identification it will tell you where to find the code an check for removal procedure of pulling your head out of your asses
you dumb fucks must be the sheep on the bike between the fags legs
dont talk your shit unless you can put your money where your mouth is an you might be able to do that if you would take it off each others knob yeah green buger congradulations you can count i'm nineteen but my "daddy" an i just got done changes your moms oil an she was complaining so fuck you an have a nice day an try not to get any more sorry ass tats

kid... did you look at the pic?? it clearly shows the engine code is on the block, not the tranny, granted they are close but it still is on the engine. if it wasnt how could you tell what engine you had if you didnt have the tranny??? so, im the famous words of Richocet "I hope you next breath fills your mouth with toxins" so quit arguing, you wont win douche..

Well, from that poorly written cluster-fuck of words, I was able to decipher this.
but my "daddy" an i just got done changes your moms oil
Right, brag about your high and mighty job changing oil. Or maybe its your dad who changes the oil while you service him? Really, give up, you were wrong.

Methinks you need to watch your mouth. They called you and you could produce no proof. What does that say to me? It says you're pissed because they're right and you're wrong. So, in light of this, as well as your...lovely...post, I'm going to give you a warning. If I see you make another post like that, I will ban you for however long I see fit. There are proper ways to reply and what you have exhibited is not one of them.

Not only that, but on Honda engines the ENGINE code is on the ENGINE BLOCK. I know, I know, sounds far fetched, but it's true.

Closed.
