b16a1 swap question

[Tony]

Well if you get a VTEC engine, you have many options like they have mentioned. If you get a non-VTEC, you can just run your current ECU and Dizzy for now without a problem.

[Christ]

Us? Make things complicated? What?!?

Lol.. we just want to make sure he has ALL the pertinent information, so he can make an informed and educated decision!

do i use my B18 injectors if i get a b16?

[Tony]

ECU and Dizzy

Unless it has OBD2 Injectors, then switch them so you can plug them up. If its OBD1, its the same clip. You just need to find out what kind of injectors they are, if they require a resistor box or not: If so, keep them, if not-you can swap them or splice all the red/black wires together.

I may try and go get this engine this weekend...but it's 6hrs away in Delaware should be a fun drive

99 B16A2 SI MOTOR
MOTOR HAS NEVER BEEN CRACKED OPEN. IT HAS LESS THEN 30,000 MILES ON IT. IT COMES WITH EVERYTHING BUT ECU,TRANNY, OR AXELS.....I WANT 900.00 FIRM

[Christ]

How exactly can you tell if a motor has never been "cracked open"... I'd be weary of that one... just b/c he had to say it... like he's trying to convince someone.

That LS/B20 combo might work out nice for you... it'll be the same as you had, but more power, and it's fresh... only thing is if you can trust the engine building skills of someone else...

But, for $500 vs. $900, I'd still honestly go for the B18/B20. The $400 you're saving, if nothing else, can go for a basic rebuild kit and some machine work to get it done right, if the kid f00ked it up.

Could also buy you Vtec, in the form of a GSR head, or even a B16 head, if that's what you want.

[BLU CIVIC]

if i get a b20/vtec can i use the PR3 ecu?

[Christ]

Yep. You SHOULD get a chipped ECU, since you'll be running more compression and more displacement, but if you're not racing the shit out of it, the PR3, along with sensors, will be able to trim fuel to make things work.

I wouldn't really beat on it until you get something that's tuneable tho... i.e. chipping the PR4 you have now.

[BLU CIVIC]

i'm doubtful about the B20/vtec...but i came across this today:

I have a 92 honda civic vx it has been torn apart i was going to redo the whole thing but dont have the time money or motivation to finish it. The shell is in great condition all the body work has been done just needs paint. Body is now perfect. It has a custom 6 point roll cage. Will sell the shell or everything you need to put it back together and get it on the rode. Asking $2000 for bare shell. Or $6000 for everything.
i have:
JDM b16 SIR II
JDM y21 b16 trans with lsd
full msd setup
ground control coil-overs and pillow mounts with koni adjustables
custom 3 point front strut bar
em racing z bar in the rear
too much more to list please call for info.


$1000 for the swap and its complete ready to drop in with a skunk 2 intake manifold runs very strong no problems at all. I will gurantee it.

May be meeting a guy that has a B16 complete swap for sale for $800…still in his car so I’m going to see how it runs

[Christ]

That's the best bet... see how it runs, listen to it, even drive it if you can, before you pay an outrageous amount of money for it.

[BLU CIVIC]

well i'm about to head to Maryland to get an engine...will the same scenario work with a B16b...using my distributor and PR3 ecu?

[FrodoGT]

If you get a b16b.. never ever tell anyone locally. You wont own it long.

Also how in the hell would you get one for less than like 3k? I think your talking about something else.

[BLU CIVIC]

well...it didn't come with the transmission...i was going to sell it anyway b/c i'm not converting to hydraulic...just got back from Maryland and it's still ing the Cruiser...here's a teaser

[Christ]

Did he give it to you for less since there was no tranny? The CTR tranny is a very valuable piece... just like the engine is.
