if it's the civic type r motor it's a b16. it's probably a b16b series. if it's an integra type r, it's a b18c. b18c is NOT worth the money. it cost too damn much. you can build a b16a2 for REAL cheap. My redline is 8300. it pulls like a freight train and it's EASY to find parts for. and the head is more times than not used as the basis for a frankenstein motor.

 

What about the specs for the engine in my '99 GX? I've heard it has some crazy compression ratio of over 12 to 1?

 

The 99 GX has a D16b5. Here are some specs. These are directly from Wikipedia, so apparently no one knows some of the info:

D16B5

(Identical to the D16Y5. Main differences are Pistons, Rods, Camshaft, Head Gasket, Intake Manifold, and Exhaust Manifold are PDN rather than P2M)

Sorry to inform you...

it's SLOW.

Reliable engine, yet very weak.

 

stu in for the zing










TWO MONTHS LATER!!!!

 

well he just made his second post so i went to see his first one and I was assuming it was around the same time as his second post.

weird, why would you post once and then not come back and then come back 2 months later and only post one more time?

 

I have a 2003 Civic EX. Can Someone please tell me what engine I have?

 

D17a2

 

I have a '91 DX with a d16 swap. I've found four 96-98 d16 auto's and a '99 f23 with a 5-speed. My questions are:

1. Would the newer d16's mount up to my '91 5-speed?

2. And would the 2.3 even FIT between my fenders?

Thanks! I need to buy a motor ASAP

 

1. yes

2. not sure
