Default Engine Swap Q

First, b16a2 = '99-'00 Si engine, correct?

Second, with a b16a2 swap and greddy turbo in my '96 ex coupe, what is max boost that can be run with stock internals and how much power would that be?

What about stock boost on the b16a2, it should be around 200whp right?

If the B16A2 you're gettign is USDM, then yes, that would be out of the 99-00 Si. Generally, you can run up to 14-15lbs of boost on stock B series internals, provided your tuning is up to the task. How much power that puts out would be entirely dependent on how well you are tuned. The same goes for a B16A2 running stock boost. You can find a dyno plot of an Si running stock boost on a GReddy kit here:

If I'm not mistaken, then the later Del Sol VTEC (maybe 96-97) had B16a2 as well.

This might be wrong, but i think that there is a b16a2 that is JDM from 92-95 civics...

Default boost

and max boost would be about 12lbs tuned. 14-15 is too much and risky on stock internals.

What would be the highest safe boost to run for daily driving?

Default boost

on 93+ octane, 8-9 pounds tuned is safe. you could bring it up to 12 on higher octane on track days. this also depends on what turbo you have. 10lbs on t3 isn't the same as 10lbs on a t3/t4. I think the max HP on a d-series would be around 210 hp.
