If I'm not mistaken 92 Integra is already B18... correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah... logically if u say a b16 from an integra, immediately the DA6 comes to mind... so, if thats the case, its a 'VTEC kecik'.... EK4 deffinately 'VTEC besar'... so u do the math on which is more powderful... unless ur pomen refering to an auto EK4...

Besides, when he's trying to push you the older B16A from Integra, he'd probably bullshit a little. You can refer to the older threads of chasis and engine codes and check the horsepower ratings.

power wise as long as its B16A big v shud be same. as what being quoted by honda.
with 2K different, if u doing the transplant for ur EK then better get the EK4 hafkat... u can use the dashboard, meter cluster, ABS, Airbag and most of the engine part quite close to EK9 type r parts.. n everything is pnp.

wait! dc/db series has a lot of version maa.... got first got FF n 4WD ^_^ usually dc with E-DC2 comes with B18C. (if not mistaken la). but E-DC1 should come with a 1.6 twin cam engine (probably ZC?). not even vtec if i'm not mistaken. not sure whether got B16A from DC series or not. if ur computer can display kanji n all the japanese characters, n u can read japs, why not try honda's website?

yup...hattech is right...go for EK4 if u r installing it into EK....to me, i only dun like it that i comes with OBD2 wiring...means hard to play ecu 're-chip' thingy ler...the rest all fine since it's the same B16A...parts are all interchangable...

aaaa?opinion?its simple math...if you are driving an EG better get EG halfcut cos u can fully utilise everything...same goes to if u r driving an ek or a dc....i have no problem with rechip...im using the big V da halfcut and using chip meant for EK....so far no prob...not sure how or why :P

from wat i know, OBD II ecu doesn't mean that it can't use performance chip. but if u've got an OBD I ecu then want to use OBDII, the wiring part can cause u headache. that's why some people who drive EG prefer to stick to EG halfcut only. but if u've originally got OBD II wirings (EK n newer models), i don't see why it can cause u problems. but there r peeps out there says that it's already hard just to put VAFC to an OBD II ecu. that means EK type R n DC type R. i sincerely don't know. better refer to an EK owner. Satanic says he doesn't have any problems ^_^

usually halfcuts comes with everything ie. corrent wirings and correct ECU...its the shop where you do the transplant that plays an important role...ive seen a fair share of shops who are too farkin lazy to redo the entire wiring...all they did is snip half your original wiring and reconnect with the new one from the halfcut...this is the main cause of transplanting headache....again.....get a proper shop to do the job..not some under the tree yah....

DC2 and DB8 is with B18C1 GSR(Black Top @ 185bhp) , n DC2-R is with B18C5(Red Top @ 200bhp)
If B16A, then comfirm DC1 or DB6...
The DC and DB series' 1st batch is 1993, so if u say it's 1993, then I assume it's a DB or DC..

If u r driving EK, then i think u'll rather get EK4's B16A with LSD...
Cheer~~

yeah.. EJ/EK go for EK4/EK9 halfcut.... if u want bigger displacement can always drop in some b20b or b18c block.......the complete EK halfcut transplant is more important so they will look like an ori EK.....i've installed vafc in my OBD2 ek4 engine....no problem....easy job...i even remove it myself...just refer to the user manual.....
