Why the B16A Is Legendary

The B16A is where it all started. This was Honda's first DOHC VTEC B-series engine, and it was one of the first naturally aspirated production motors to reach the magic 100 horsepower per liter. This 1.6L inline-four thrives on revs, pulling hard right up to its 8,000-plus RPM redline where VTEC comes alive. It is light, it is tunable, and decades later it is still the benchmark that classic Honda builders chase. The raw, high-revving B16A powerband is something you simply can't fake with a bigger, lazier motor.

The Ultimate B-Series Swap Foundation

A clean B16A gives you a rock-solid base to build on. This first-generation cable-type unit drops straight into the classics: Honda Civic and CRX (EF), Del Sol, and Integra (DA/DB). It's also a favorite starting point for EG and EK Civic swaps, with the right mounts and wiring. If you want that pure, old-school VTEC swap done right, this is the foundation.

Fitment: Ideal for EF Civic, CRX, Del Sol, and DA/DB Integra. Popular for EG/EK Civic swaps with supporting mods.

Engine + Transmission Combo, Already Done

Here's the best part: you're not hunting for a matching gearbox. This B16A comes with its 5-speed cable manual transmission, and it's the factory LSD unit (transmission code Y1-1006877). That limited-slip diff means you put the power down out of corners instead of roasting one tire. Engine and trans, sourced together, ready to swap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cars will this B16A swap into?
This first-gen cable B16A bolts most naturally into the EF Civic and CRX, the Del Sol, and the DA/DB Integra. Builders also drop it into EG and EK Civics, though those swaps need the right mounts and some wiring work. Because it's the cable-type unit, it pairs best with cable-chassis cars.

Cable vs hydraulic, will it fit my chassis?
This is the cable-actuated first-generation setup, which is exactly what you want for classic OBD0 EF and DA chassis. If you're going into a later hydraulic-clutch car, plan for a conversion or the correct linkage. Call us and we'll talk through your specific build.

Does it include the LSD transmission?
Yes. This swap includes the 5-speed cable manual transmission with the factory limited-slip differential, transmission code Y1-1006877. Confirm any additional accessory details with our sales team when you order.
