I might get a 99si that possibly needs a motor, what are some options as far as b16's go that would be the easiest to swap as far as ECU etc goes and not too pricey? would just a b16a be any good or not?

 

why would a car so new need a new motor but neway check out hmotorsonline.com they have all kinds of motors that u can swap in:

u gonna need a whole changeover, motor, ecu, tranny or just a good long block to hook up to an existing tranny? as for b16's ur gonna want to look at a b16a SIR II

its alot cheaper if u just need a long block

 

Any B series motor would drop in there. I would suggest, obviously a OBD II motor and ecu combo. If you still have the tranny, and B16, B18, or B20 would work fine. I'd suggest a B18C1-- more power than stock, but looks stock. For a econo swap, find a LS engine a B18B1 and drop that in there and sell the car. Some kid would buy it. Only 18 hp less than stock, no VTEC, but a bit of torque.

Good Luck

heres what I have.... the tranny and ecu, so I would just need a longblock, would a longblock b18c1 work with the ecu or what would work with it? I wouldnt really wanna change the ecu....

 

im pretty sure the ecu would work if you got rid of the secondaries on the gsr motor.

 

Slap a Skunk2 manifold on and you'll be fine with the B16 ECU.

Of course, some tuning would be best... it'll want more fuel than the B16.

 

Naw, go OBD1 so you can chip and then tune it. There is nothing wrong OBD1, and you shouldn't be so worried about swapping out the ECU, it's cake.

i say swap in the b20 block its basically a bored b18 block so there is abit more torque and the head/tranny bolt right up its one of those things you kinda have to frankenstine togeather but in the end i think it would be best especially if you want to build it up at some point

 

You just don't read do you?

He's in Cali, you have to use the OBD generation that came with the car or newer. You can't backdate things just because you want to. So in this case, yes, there is something wrong with OBD1. Besides that, using an engine with the same OBD generation makes wiring up the new engine a snap and you'll be sure that it works and looks correct, also important in Cali.

Start looking at location before you tell everyone on the board that OBD1 is where it's at...

 

You could get around that easily with two ecus, one for smoggin, one for performance.

And their are no wiring harness changes needed, just an adapter harness. My internally converted ECU, doesn't even need an external harness, it's builtin, my OBD1 ecu, plugs directly into my OBD2B car. Depending if they do a visual inspection of the ecu (print up a new barcode sticker, they'll never know), or a electronic inspection (they might be able to plug into the diag port, and determine the OBD generation.

You're right, i should pay more attention to where people are posting from... :jerkit:

Hey, you're in North Carolina eh?

Well then try using your imagination for something other than getting your cousin into bed. :boink:
