Need some help needed regarding B16a. Doing a convert soon.

[SimonsayZ]

Hi all, I bought an EG3 2-door AUTO and I'm gonna change it to B16 soon. Question is, will I face problems in long run if I convert it to B16 Manual? Because from auto to manual, I'm not sure if there will be problems with the clutch pedal, transmission and all.
Are they gonna drill holes or anything like that in order to put in the clutch pedal?
Im still in doubt, so I hope anyone is willing to provide me with any information, I would be much grateful. Sorry, Im still kinda noob in all these. :regular_smile:
Secondly, I'm still deciding whether to get B16 auto or manual. I know auto is not that powerful but I travel to work and encounter alot of traffic jams. So, Im kinda like the convenience of auto tranny. But another side of me wants more power..haha.
Finally what is the difference between B16A1 and B16A2? I only need 1.6 so I wanna know what are my options for halfcut. EG6 halfcut?

Thanks for reading and CHEERS! :_:

Thanks for the reply. EG6 is b16a1 or b16a2? any difference in SIR and SIRII?
I'm also wondering does all EG6 halfcuts come with LSD gearbox? Any difference from conventional gearbox?
Thanks again.

go for eg6 94 spec.
u can see at the top of tro. body have one sensor.
that one is 94 spec.
LSD? u can see at gearbox have wrote LSD
if u want easy and low maintance take gearbox witout LSD.
if u want kaw² and a little bit maintance go for LSD.. :D
which u luck in convert.

ICic, thx for the info, I am also thinking of getting a better clutch. Will the standard clutch tahan all the high revs? Coz I scared the clutch will be goner if too much vtec engage.haha.
Any recommendations for clutch best suit with LSD gearbox? Best if the clutch is not too hard, might be too strain for my weak legs, especially during jams. LOL

wah, this is really surprising. B16A engine + manual gearbox got a lot of problem? get your facts right la bro. with proper parts and tuning, a standard B16A engine + block + pistons + cranks can go up to over 200 bhp at the crank and at the same time, durable enough for daily use, proven by Omniman's 200 BHP B16A project.

 

[HanafyEG]

what problem? if stock no problem..get and choose the right good condition halfcut la..no problem...settle

 

[hkk79]

No doubt, B16A engine is quiet old...of course any engine sure got some problem... Anyway I am using B16A also, so far no major problem...

As long as you take care the engine well, it should be ok! :_:

aik, you did post something, stating that B16A are not reliable, and now you're asking about the cost of transplanting one? wei, even a heavily NA - style modded B16A's can still be as reliable as a standard B16A for daily usage lah bai. if a noobie asks questions like how much to transplant etc will costs, it's ok lah. but to simply post statements like B16A standard not reliable enough ( and this shows that the fella did not even talked to previous / current B16A - equipped owners ), now that's way too far off lah.

[SimonsayZ]

Haha, B16a not reliable? Standard engine more reliable? That's really weird. Why is it standard more reliable I may ask? Buy new car? I'm sorry bro, but I'm not as rich as you to buy a new civic.
