thats pretty funny, did you have your glasses on or off when you were looking at that? perhaps a little grease over the numbers? either way, if you own a 99-00 civic si, theres no b16a3 under that hood- peace

 

[blueSI]

is there such thing as a b16a3

Ya, thats what came in our Del Sol VTECs.

Did you buy your car used? B16A3 was used in the Del Sols.

 

[blueSI]

yes i did buy it used. does that mean it doesnt have as much power as an b16a2.

 

[Johnny Tran]

Nope you only have 100 hp..

AHHAHAHA Nah it's prob the same, but the guy who had it before you has some explaining to do

dude, are you sure it was b16a3...Did the guy you bought your car from have a hooked up car..cause if he did, then he blew his block, and got one thats like 8 yrs old. I hope your reading wrong, cause your gettin your meatlog pricked off if you got a b16a3..sorry dude..

b162 and 3 are the same old thing 160hp

 

[MugenSi]

b162 and 3 are the same old thing 160hp

Word!

 

[just chillin]

why is the b16a3 called 3 when it came 2nd and b16a2 called 2 when it came 3rd? i'm guessing in japan they let the b16a2 first but does anybody know for sure? also what's the difference?

 

[Johnny Tran]

It may not be OBD 2...Check you block again to be absolutly sure it is a b16a3

 

[Tenchi]

Talk to the x-owner of the car and ask what he did and how a b16a3 ended up in there. If you can't, then get the vin # off the engine, post it up and I can check it out for you. By the way, that # should match the car's vin # also. If it's different, you can post that vin # too if you want. PM me if you want.

actually, in one issue of import tuner on the power pages it says that the last couple of '00 Si's did come with a B16A3 motor. no difference though so don't worry about it. it might even be stronger!:>
