Default b16a, easy swap?
alrighty then, thinking of swappin a b16a into my 93 Cx HB. Now, i'm a relative n00b in all this engine swap business, just wondering if, relative to say an h22a or a b18 swap, it will be fairly straightforward and realistically doable. :stupid:

ah yes also what is factoring my decision is $$$. i know that an h22a will KILL a b16 anyday, however, i dont need to be running 12's...well, not yet anyway Will a b16a with cai/h/e get me into 14's?

It'll probably get you into the 14's. And yes, it's an easy swap.

You can hit 12's with a modded out b16!

It's not hard to find a b16 swap for less than $2k

get a jap spec motor, and make sure its OBD1. I made the mistake of putting a obd2 (b16a2) into a 93 ex last time.

only problem with the Jspec is the right side wiring harness
