Honda Civic engines swap: B16A2 and B16A3

:: Honda Civic engines ::

Making a B16A2 or B16A3 Honda Civic engines swap is one of the all time favorite ways of adding speed to your ride. The beauty about these Honda engines is that they bolt in directly into the 5th generation civic engine bay area without the need of mounts. Comparing the specs of this engine with the 5G Civic’s original engine we can comprehend the power behind this swap. Whereas the 5G’s motor gives off 125 HP at 6600 RPM, the more powerful B16A3 motor extracted from a DelSol shoots a more potent 158HP at 7600 RPM. Although this engine is user friendly when adapting it to a 5th generation Civic, they can also be installed in 4th generation Hondas with additional engine mounts.

As for performance for cost the B16 comes with a more affordable price tag when compared to other motor models. Since these engines use VTEC, you must prepare yourself to do some rewiring as well as getting the ECU with all the right protocols installed. As for how to find these motors, either look for a JDM parts importer or hook into an online auction service to find engines, making sure that they’re in good shape. After installing the motor in your Honda Civic, you can also boost it up with a turbo kit which will add even more HP. Carefully installing the new engine will make sure you leave enough room to fit one of these performance enhancers without a problem.
