B16A ==> into 99 civic

[iLLuCiv99]

Hey whats up guys. I was looking at some websites on JDM engines (jdmhondaparts.com), and they have there for the B16a they have 89-91 and 92-98. Does this mean that for 99 and up, there is a different motor? I mean both are 6th gen so I dont see why...maybe they dont have 99+ available? Also in japan what is the EK4 called? the 6th gen civ that comes with the b16a? is it SiR-II? or are those 5th gen? DO they even have a name like Si, or SiR? or are they just civics? Do they have EX, LX, and DX in Japan? Hope someone can clear this up Thanks!

Well ur car is a hydro tranny so its the rite swap. It'll bolt right on to your stock mounts. The only thing that u have to change is the axles which u need to get it off from an integra or the new si's if they fit. You also need to change ur obd2 to obd1. You will also need a wire harness and ecu. Thats basically it unless i forgot something?

Well i'm not sure wat the ek4 is ...i think its the 96+ hatch? The 6th gen comes with an Sir2 i believe? They call it Sir2. I'm not sure if they have ex or lx or a dx? Someone else correct me if i'm wrong?

Shit thanks for responding! Finally someone did! So now does anyone know if the civics in japan come in different models, besides CTR and SiR-II? and are ALL civics in japan DOHC?

it's not really worth the money. IMO i would look around for the USDM B16A2 since it's already OBDII rather than putting the JDM B16A which is OBDI into a 99. That's just my $0.02 on it.

first off...you're better off buying your motor elsewhere....hondamotorsonline.com seems to be the best so far as quality and customer service goes....they are relatively cheap as well and the motor will be at your house in less than a week with a start up warantee and no broken sensor guarantee.

get the obd2 motor...like someone else mentioned, go for a 99-00 Si b16a2.
