Im looking at buying a B16 in the next week. Im wondering if the B16A2 is really worth $400 more then the B16A1? The trans will be an LSD hydro no matter what engine I buy.

My car is a 92 Si (OBD1) so going back to an OBD0 engine like the B16A1 is really the only down side right? And thats not a big deal, the engine is going to get new internals and head work, so im thinking I should just buy the B16A1.

Its from a JDM dealer and there is no more then 45k miles on the engines.

What do you think?

 

get the obd1 version, unless you allready have a hydro b series transmission.

 

ditto

 

get the obd1 version, ur spending the money might as well spend the extra money and where are u buying this swap from?

 

Its not really a transmission question, it will be a hydro tranny no matter what. Getting the B16 long block from TorontoJDM

B16A1 long block is $926 CAD to my door

B16A2 long block is $1,324 CAD to my door.

 

try hmotorsonline.com got some good reviews on them

 

thanks ill give her a try, flashoptions had great prices too

The nice thing about TorontoJDM is they will sell the long block only if you want.

 

go for the b16a2 the a1 is junk spend the extra 400 there not the same engine check the specs its 400$ well spent

 

Please explain how the A1(jdm obd1/obd0 version b16a)is junk vs the A2(jdm obd2 version b16a)

 

Just get an OBD1 B16a, meaning not the a2. It'll be the easiest swap in and you won't have to mess around with converting obd2to obd1.
