the guy that was gonna get me a b16a auto said it was second gen, which i believe is OBD-1, correct?

 

Hmm... there was some discussion over on G2IC.com a while back, and noone could confirm the existance of such a beast. :dunno:

 

2nd Gen IS ODB1

Correct.

 

ok, so stickin w/ Automatic....whats the cheapest, easiest, and more that 100 hp engine? which and where should i get it???
would say a 96 automatic civic vtec, fit right in?? just an example...then engine i have now is only 1.5 non-vtec, w/ about 170,000 miles... ... so would just upgrading to an Vtec, be best easiest and cheapest choice???

 

The easiest and cheapest would be a D16Z6 from a 92-95 Civic EX automatic. 125hp SOHC VTEC.

It's still slow though.

VTEC + automatic = not worth the hassle.
