ok now people listen up...i just wanted to know

i have found a b16a engine for less than a grand. which is auto (that's probly why it's so cheap)

just wanted to know if i could take aout the auto box and use the manual box in my car for the b16a is that possible?

will it have any troubles?

I never knew the b16a came in auto :shock:

Are you sure? What car is it from?

yes, some EG SiR hatchies in Japan came with automatic trans .. :shock:
also some JDM delsol :?

um...so yeah is it possible to change it?

[Civic Type R]

yes, i have seen it done.

the car i saw was a EG gli coupe converted to a B18cR JDM transplant.

Not sure if your manual box will bolt up to it though.

[crx2gen]

the auto is an inferior engine: you'd be better off sourcing a manual b16a, even though the price is attractive.

[Civic Type R]

you would want the full shift linkage and everything for a manual B16A to make it work. Also, id think you will need a new ECU too.

danny, why don't u wait and get a whole front cut?

[[[d a n n y]]]

[Rufes1]

An Auto b16a with a manual gbox is not equivalent to a manual b16a setup. THe auto b16a is indeed inferior, with less hp and single value springs on both cams. Avoid it!
