EDIT: THIS IS A B16A (Second Gen) NOT A2 Thanks~ sorry for the confusion, non of us knew what the motor was =D
Alright 100 miles tell i hit 200k on my da9, its time to drop a new motor in.
Reasons:
Transmission is toast...
Engine is old and tired.
I want vtec and a little more power.
The b18a1 motor has a low compression.
The b16a2 has a higher compression.
Higher the compression the faster it gets up to speed, and the more power.
Ik its a jump down from 1.8l to 1.6l, but there really isn't that big of a difference in torque its like 10 ft-ibf, the b16a's Hp has about a 30hp difference + its vtec.
So My sisters bf has a JDM b16a with a b16 lsd with 50k on it for 1k. I'm going to buy it.
Now, my questions are:
The harness
Ecu p30
chip
Other then what i already have in the da, what will i need?
Thinking svtec so any tips please tell.
Im trying to spend the least amount of cash as possible here.
Just because im asking questions dont underestimate me and tell me if idk what to do i shouldn't be doing this swap. im just following up, there is always a first time swapping hondas.
Other than that ik what im doing.
