Raley Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Since its just a single plug for the dizzy, and its the newer style its obd2. So id guess its from a 96-99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae%eh6 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 one of the other things to look at is were you took a pic of the number 96 on the head. this tells you its a 1996 head. so its a obd2a.in 96 is when they started obd2. now with a obd2a and obd2b. the a is from 96-98 i THINKING. and b is 99-00.

Raley Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yes, i dont know when honda switched from a to b. Interesting fact, gm never even used obd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae%eh6 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 ok well let me help you then a obd2a is from the years 96-98 and a obd2b is from 99-00. so with this said it you can plug everything up but the wiring is different. so it would not work.

Humphries Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well thats a japanese motor. It would have a number after the a if it was from the us. Well need to see a pic of the distributor to know if its obd1 or 2. The B16A had 2 generations first generation was OBD0 and came with 160 horsepower. this motor was found in the early 88-90 civic CRX, Civics and Integras. second generation was OBD1 and had 168 horsepower. this motor was found in 91-98 Civic SiRs. The compression ratio was bumped from 10.2:1 to 10.4:1 increasing horsepower. Also, upping the redline from 8100 to 8200. You can tell by the ECU. Check your ECU code and see whether its first generation (PR3 or PW0) or second generation (P29 or P2S). Since you have a 97 civic, I'd say it's the second generation. source: brain/wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
