Which b16 engine do you recommend for a 5th gen. civic?

I have a 1995 civic and i am wondering what you all think is the best B16 series engine for it...i was thinking the B16A3, let me know if you agree or disagree, thanks

Check out the thread at the top of the 92-00 civic forum.

I WOULD GO WITH THE B16A2 BECUASE ISNT THAT THE 99-00 SI ENGINE, MAN THAT THING KICKS ASS

B16A2=99-00 Si
B16A3=Del sol VTEC

The two have the same specs. One is OBD1 the others 2. I suggest neither. Get the 2nd gen JDM B16A. At least it has 10 more hp.

IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THE SI B16A2 ENGINE SWAP HERE ARE A SHIT LOAD OF PARTS http://www.modacar.com/car/Honda/Civic/

Do not get a B16A2. The 5th gen Civic is OBDI and the A2 is OBDII. JDM B16A 2nd gen is an OBDI and has 10 more hp. All aftermarket parts are the same for all B16's

OKAY THEN GET THE B16 THAT YOU WANT

thanks haha yeah, what i'm trying to do is get lucky and find a crashed vtec del sol and take the engine and rear discs, thats my plan so far

[badboycivic2003]

ok, I was under the impression that the JDM B16 2nd gen was referred to as the b16a2 I read this on another forum....so is that not the case?

Because I own a 1994 civic and want to put the 170bhp B16 JDM engine into it....and this one is always referred to as a b16a2.

Im probably wrong as I dont know much about it.

You'll need to pick up a integra shiftlinkage, the Delsols is a different size and shape. Other than that, stay inside your OBD and you're golden.

i would say
2nd gen b16
delsol b16 which is rare
2000 si b16 depending on your budget and where you live
