I had an offer for a JDM B16a engine. The only thing that was strange to me was that the guy said it was automatic. I thought all Si engines were manual. He said they made an automatic in Japan. Just wondering if any one else knows if it is true or not because i never heard of it.

 

yes...there were automatic B16's in Japan.

 

just like the doood said, there were auto b16s, along with that, were automatic gsrs too!:ugh:

 

i think we even had the auto GSR's in our sedan trim.

 

there was dohc autos in the U.S. besides the 5th gen prelude sport sequential shift and the NSX

 

would it be cheaper for a setup like that or more expensive???

 

JDM auto B16As have weaker cams than their MT counterparts. As for the USDM auto GSRs, the AT was an option, so they cost more(new, anyway) than the MT GSRs did.

 

Didn't Mr. Louie have an auto b18c in his old Civic? Y'know, back when he was CivicRacerEX-R...

 

he had a swap?

 

so are the autp gsrs in the "special edition" teg?
