- Wed May 14, 2014 2:00 pm #345598 Welcome to the forum, you can start here first.

Things to keep in mind: first gen B16's have cable transmissions, so you'd have to do a conversion from hydro or get a different transmission. newer gens (like from a 99-00 Si) are OBDII, so you'd have to rewire for OBDI for an EG.

You'd need the engine, tranny, ecu, wiring harness, axles, and mounts.

If you really want a B16, it'll take some work as it's not a straight bolt in. My advice would be to go GSR B18 or better if you want an easy B-swap that you can really enjoy. If money is an issue, get a B20 non-vtec and have fun with the extra torque.

- Wed May 14, 2014 2:15 pm #345599 Yes I have been doing some reading I was going to go with the second gen b16 (hydro tranny).and every one has told me to do a b16 instead but honestly I've always wanted a b16 don't ask why....but any ways I'm kinda cautious but if you guys could refer me to some reputable part websites and maybe even a specific parts list that would be awesome I'm still learning how to work the forum.but anything will help

Hey, everyone likes different engines for different reasons. It's not always about power and speed, but sometimes about fun and enjoyment.

I'm pretty sure a B16 will be just like swapping in any B-series. You'll still need the mounts, B-series axles, and OBDI ecu and info on what you need to do to the wiring harness if anything.

I haven't done a B16 before, so hopefully someone else can chime in. I was able to swap in my B18 using mounts and axles from an integra and they've held up for the last 4 years.

I think there are a few discussion threads here about companies to buy motors from, too.
