i mean if I get a B16 and have it put in - and then it gets rejected for some dumb reason cos its old... im gonna shoot someone LOL

no - not exageration, i had a 89 head in a late 1990 chassis, so you are right that is doesnt really healp lots.

if you speak to your transport department over there, i am sure they will set you straight...

good stuff, another fact it the b16a was the first na engine to produce 100hp per litre (found that fact from honda tuning mag http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0203ht_killerb/)

oh and its not just 10% displacement, 10% power
so that means d16a >> b16a swaps DO REQUIRE ENGINEERS CERT IN VICTORIA

my mate does rego at vicroads and had to knock backa few guys coz of they didnt have a cert for their b series swap, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME:!:

I just read this again......great info James :thumbsup:

I own an Eg VTi civic and just put a deposit down on a Civic 94-95 B16A front cut.
the wreckers said it should be shipped to australia within a few weeks time.

I have just read the threat and it has been very informative and will keep everything i read in mind when the engine comes in.
