1st gen b16 or 2nd gen b16

I was just wondering, when you have a 92-95 civic hatch what b16 would you swap? first gen or second gen. Because is the 92-95 hatch a obd1 or obd2 if it was obd2 the It would make more sense to do b16a2 right??? that would be a mess to re wire for a different computer...

I had a kid pull up beside me and said he had a b16...
I said first gen???
He said ya

could this be ?????

He could have had a first gen and just swapped the tranny to cable.... but for you you want an OBD1 2nd Gen B16a with a hydro tranny. Direct bolt in.

like Happy said, not all 2nd Gen B16A's are OBDII,.

try and get one out of a '93-'95 del Sol DOHC VTEC or a JDM '92'95 Civic SiR ... they are OBDI.

i think like what jugglez said is if you get motor from a 92-95 civic SiR from japan that will be a b16a which is obd1.... and same with the 93-95 del sol... the engine code is b16a3 but its the same motor i believe... and is also obd1

to my knowledge they started doing obd2 from 96 and after??
