I second the B16A1.

Its got a great head, and low compresion, which is good if you plan to go turbo.

www.sunrisejdmmotors.com , this is probably the best site youll find for motors, as nealry anyone here will tell you.

..."Easier" essentially meaning a direct bolt in with some wiring changes

The B16A1 is as good as it gets for a 4G, since it's originally from the 4G SiR. As is the custom, some of the JDM engines are just stamped B16A, but they're the same engine.

RE: b16?

yeah, the intake manifold is the easiest tell. on the a1, its got something written on the top (something about EFI or something like that) and the a2 just has lines.
