b16a1 or b16a3

Im doing a swap and I was wondering if the b16a1 would be better with the cable transmission or are the hydraulics better and longer lasting on the b16a3's? Ive got a 95 civic 4dr and I plan on turbocharging the motor after the swap. The only reason I want to buy the b16a1 is because the price is cheaper. Also will I have to buy some kind of conversion harness for the ecu if I go with the b16a1?

Re: b16a1 or b16a3

go with the b16a3 for sure. if i recall correctly the b16a1 is older and you cant put an older motor in a newer car, only the other way around. you can put a 94-95 del sol b16a3 motor in your car and it would be the same OBD. i highly suggest the a3, its ,uch more practical and hydraulic clutch is a better iidea. plus a newer motor is going to have less wear and tear, dont buy a total bottom of the line part. if you buy a 15 year old b16 it is going to be pretty damn beat up. you might spend a couple hundred more initially with the b16a3, but its better than having to dump much more into an older one just to keep it running later down the line

You can also use the B16A2 from '94-'95 Del Sol VTEC's. They came with both the B16A2 and B16A3 in those years, although the A3 was more common. Both were ODB1. The B16A2 became OBD2 in '96+.
