Quick B series engine check..

[Leung]

My friend just sent me a text telling me he bought a 2000 SI with a B18A1 swap with matching tranny. I told him that was a USDM engine from the 90-93 Integra. He claims it's a JDM engine, who's right?

[TracieS]

Its usdm because its a1. what happen to the b16a1?

['93CB7Ex]

yea thats usdm. i thought 00 si had b16a4

[Tippey764]

Im not the most knowledgeable on the B series motors but im pretty sure you are right.

Regardless a " jdm " b18a1 is a downgrade from the b16a it had before.

[cuate01221]

B18a1 is a USDM engine. I just don't get why someone would swap out the b16 that the si comes with?

[Leung]

yeah that's what i told him about the A1 designation.

it probably got beaten on and then crap out by the previous owner.

[92smokeaccord]

b18a is a ls motor.b16a4 is the one that comes in that car 99-2k si.

[skilzz]

i see a shit ton of newer hondas with those old wrung-out b18a1s in them

[TracieS]

ok it used to belong to some girl and her boyfriend. The first owner wrecked the car and parted out everything so the second owner repaired everything, no frame damage luckily, and put in the b18*something.
My buddy was shown the invoice from the Japanese company where the girl and guy bought the engine but he didn't pay attention to which one it was, all he knows was the guy claims that that it had a 140 something hp. Maybe it's the B1(94 -01) or the A1 from the 92-93 Teggy.

Oh well it's his insurance money.

the a and b are the same motors from a ls just diff years like our f22a/b..now if it has a b18c/1 then that's either a gsr or type r.type r being the c1.

[1993 CB7 LX]

the GS-R has the C1 and the USDM Integra Type R has the C5
