You should of gotten the B16a pacakge from either the EG6, CRX (94 and above) or Ek4 (you need to change a few things). And no, dont need aftermarket mount to fit into the EG

Your right man I needed the hydrolic one! all sorted now tho :thumbsup:

Picked up one of those wale penis's today, just one of those mock up ones if im right! Didnt relise how big they are haha now the name makes sense lol!

Excellent mate. Be sure to keep us updated!

The B16A2 is better anyway, it has another 12HP :)

ohhhwelll after being stuffed around for long enuf i went down and spoke to the owner at hondaspares and told him what was going on...he hasnt got any other b16a motors so im gettin my money back so now im on the hunt for another motor :S anyone no of any forsale???

Would a b16a motor out of a 1990 crx fit if i changed the gearbox to a hyrdo one??? can get one pretty cheap just thort id ask u boys first...

You can't make that swap. If you swap an engine it MUST be the same age or newer than your car. Since you're driving an EG, which weren't made before 1992, you'll need a newer engine unless you use a different bottom-end like I mentioned earlier.

Otherwise, just check the Parts for Sale section - there's always a couple going around. Or make a Want to Buy thread in that section.


It's a bit of a pity because the original B16A is often considered to be the strongest, but because it's so old it's not easy/legal to get it swapped into newer cars.
So use a B16A2 or if you can get a cheap one (like Beeza's) get a B18C2.

Not the same.

JDM B16A is 158HP or 117.82KW
The B16A2 is 170HP or 126.77KW

And the JDM B16A with 158HP is considered by many builders to be the 'strongest' of the B16's, in terms of toughness, not power output.
