h22boom h22boom Newbie Registered: 07/07/05 Posts: 25 Loc: Chicago, IL	sup yall, i own a 00 civic si and i just sold my motor for 1800 with 80,000 miles on it to a friend of mine who has a 94 hatchback. I work at a shop in schaumburg and i'm gettin a deal on a jdm b16 sir motor with for 2500. The thing is i've been saving a lot of money because i wanted to drop a teggy type r motor into my car. So i just want opinions on what you think the better deal is....i found a type r motor for prices around 4 g's.....but i dunno...just some feedback from Si drivers like yourself would be helpful...what would u do?

You may get a bit more compression and possibly an LSD. B18C is what Honda should have put in that car from teh floor. But than again, no one would buy an Integra. Get a B18C or B18C1 if your tight on cash. Why you took the entire B16A out of your car, and sold it for $1800 I have no idea... _________________________ Irish Intelligence

B16A1 is the designation for the older B16s (most came with the cable trans I think).. the S4C is the correct trans for the 99-00 Si though. have you ever run a carfax on your car? and did you buy it brand new? _________________________ insert ghey azz signature here [car pic] [mod list] [dumb quote]

spidermancivic spidermancivic Major Member Registered: 06/14/03 Posts: 1459 Loc: Somewhere in South Cali	the b16a1 is alsoknown as the 1st gen b16. it came in the integra xsi and rsi and came in an auto version. it is a jdm motor that should have a 1 milion series stamped on it or if its from an 92 xsi or rsi, it should have a 1.2 million series stamp on it. not a 4 million series. the jdm 1st gen b16s "b16a1s" came in a cable tranny. not a hydro. how about you post a picture? that would be more easy. if you own a 99-00 civic si coupe, then, your original engine is stamped b16a2 with a 4 million series stamp on an s4c transmission. _________________________ wanna trade a 99 ebp si for a Pilot or CRV?

B18c1vic B18c1vic Post Master Sr Registered: 12/21/99 Posts: 3151 Loc: Lomita, California. USA	I wonder if the 4 million series B16A is from the 92-93 obd1 cable trans integra xsi. I'll have to check my friends car, he has one of those. _________________________ insert ghey azz signature here [car pic] [mod list] [dumb quote]

spidermancivic spidermancivic Major Member Registered: 06/14/03 Posts: 1459 Loc: Somewhere in South Cali	im also wondering if the crx sir jdm b16a sir 1 came in a 4 million stamp? even if it did, the "b16a1" were still jdm motors. jdm motors do not have a number degsination at the end of there stamp description. if there is a b16a1 stamped on your motor, then, what b16 comes with a b16a1 stamped on it? if is a 1st gen blok, then, maybe the previous owners converted the block to obd2 and converted the tranny from cable to hydro? _________________________ wanna trade a 99 ebp si for a Pilot or CRV?

h22boom h22boom Newbie Registered: 07/07/05 Posts: 25 Loc: Chicago, IL	this thread got too wild but i appreciate the opinions.....for anyone who wants to know why i'm selling i already told you that the engine is at 100k on it. I have a friend who can get jdm motors for cheap and if i can get a good deal on a different motor with less mileage (and better tranny) then why not? My boy at the shop tells me ls/vtec is shit so i'm gonna be a little adventurous and do a b20 vtec. I got the dough so i'm not trippin i'll let you guys know how my project will be goin in club si....peace!
