Ok i so i just looked at the engine today. The wire part where the harness plugs into is a mess it melted so it all needs to be rewired. Its a jdm b16a is what it says its imported from japan so its completely jdm. it has a b16 lsd hydro which sucks because now i have to convert my car to hydro sense its cable. He said the b16a from japan was out of a 92 or 95 civic. it has under 50k. My question is it obd0 obd1 or obd2 because its jdm b16a but he said that in the us it would technically be a b16a2 but technically its not a 2nd gen so im kinda confused. odds are its obd1 b16a jdm lol

Says b16a just so you know and its jdm lol

Btw to all of you who say a b16a swap isnt worth it, the hp difference, between the b18c1 is 2 hp and 10ftp of torque. not a big difference besides the b16 has a lot of potential. Amd the b16 has a way higher compression thus getting up to speed faster.

You can have 20:1 compression and only put out 110hp and 90 ft-lb, and be as slow as a d15, acceleration has to do with output vs gearing, not compression. Granted compression helps create power, but overall it's still rated at less thus it's slower if equal conditions were applied.

im talking rpm to the flywheel not speed on the ground. gearing has nothing to do with the rpms of the engine.
