Anyone Have a B16a1 in their 2nd gen teg, and how is it ?
performance and maintenance wise...
also how much to put in all total costs?

not worth it. if u want to be quicker stick to ur b18 or if u need a new engine get a b20 or b18b. b16 are way to slow

if you're gonna do a b16 you'd have to the tranny aswell. if you keep the stock tranny acceleration is gonna suck moose ***** on top of the poor low end torque it already has...just build an ls/vtec.

i gotta b16a in my 92' teg, and i have a J1 short gear tranny, im not lookin for speed, its not bad, with some head work and some exaust flow u can be quick, but your dumpn alota money, if u wanna go fast get a good motor....i just revv the **** outta my car.

im planning on buying a b16a off a friend of a friend for $650-$700 motor only. do u guys think its worth it? i have a 94 rs.. if i decide to buy the engine i was gonna chip it n go all motor. what do u guys think?

Kirby

thats pretty cheap for a b16.....i got my 2nd gen with ys1 for $1600

you ever consider you have to pay high octane for a b16? That should be enough to deter you.

buddy of mine and jugga's has a B18C1 in his 91 teg and it pulls on another buddy's hatch with 1st gen B16, R cams, dc headers, cat back exhaust, with punched cat and chipped ecu. the B18C1 has no mods at all, I would do gsr swap if I were you.

And a buddy of mine has a stock b16a1 in a hatch and he destroys GSR"s all the time. There are just too many variables for this type of scenario (the buddy of mine has....).

I dont know about that, a b18c1 will take a first gen b16 hatch any time, its been done over and over. I told you about a hatch, now ask JUGGA he has a DA with a b16, ask him what would happen if he were to go at it with our buddy Ian.

If your talking about a b18c1 in a hatch, obviously I agree with you. If your talking about a b18c1 in an Integra, vs a "hatch", EF to be exact,with a b16a1 I disagree. In the cases i've seen, the Civic won.

I never was saying that a b16 in an Integra like your buddies Jugga is fast. I had one in my car for a short short time, and it was terribly slow due to its lack of torque.

welcome to the wonderful world of hondas..... NO TORQUE!

ew 1.6L civic engine. that alone should stop your from buying one. h22 that muthamutha. or maybe k20. but i had an rsx. and it was slow as hell. my z24 stomps it. and my cavs 4 spd. the rsx was 5spd tip. i dont know about the type s 200/210hp. but the 160hp has no *****.

Jugga

haah funny ---- ian has a gsr motor in his da i got a b16 not even close.....sad really

if your talkin bout a 92/93 hatch they are really light....a 96 up hatch is diff...

Thats what I was saying, when I wasn't boosted Len couldn't keep up with his ek, I was neck and neck with mundi's R upto almost 200km and he had punched cat and short ram intake, I had fmcai and full exhaust.
I agree with a b16 in an ef it would prolly walk a DA with a b18c1, but an ek no way.
