Isnt the SiR1 a non obd motor?!!! I hope so cause I wana slap one in my 90 DX!!! Im pretty sure they are. Also This motor comes out of the 89-91 civic SiR hatch backs in japan.... so wont it fit right into my motor mounts?

 

Um, no, Alberta is a province in Canada.

 

huh, my bad, theres a city named something like that in alabama also

 

There are 3 main swaps people do with these cars one is the b16a1, b18b, b18c1, and the b18c5. The v18c1 and the b18c5 I think of as the same swap because everything is done the same it is just the price of the motor that is different. Any ways the the b16 is always a great ways to go because you have an good amount of horsepower. The b18b has a little bit more torque but less horsepower. the b18c1 has a little bit less torque but better than the b16 but not as much as the b18b. But has the most horsepower out of the two. Then the b18c5 has the most horsepower out of both but the price is so much higher I don't think it is worth it unless you want bragging rights. Besides if u ever plan on building the motor the only difference between the gsr and type r is the letters on the block. So when thinking about buying a motor I would only consider the b16 and b18c1. (That would be the only two motors I would put into my car because I like vtec) Then depend on how much cash you have I would see what u could do with the prices differences between them. An example would be if u could get a gsr motor for $4200 for the full swap and a b16 for $3000 you could do $1200 in mods and have a really cool swap from the start but then you would also have to keep in mind that with the gsr u would be starting with a better base. If it was me I would go with the gsr and go from there.

 

weird I got a b16a2 that has a p30 ecu and it is OBD I from a 93 civic vti dropped right in my 92 vx and murders

 

they never made a OBD1 B16A2, they made a OBD1 B16A3 which came in the del sol, and a B16A1 which was just the OBD1 si engine. B16A2 came in the 99-00 Si.

 

Yea I guess your right I must not know what motor I put in my car silly me thinking that the big b16a2 was really that or that it came from a wrecked 93 vti what was I thinking I am gonna go home and yank that imposter a2 right out of there

 

well i have a b16a on my 93 civic si hb and a p30 ecu do you guys think that's how it has to be or do i need another ecu. i'm just curious. but the way is a obd1.thanks. also any wiring pics for this setup.
