Hi guys, im a newbie to the forum.
I busted my B16a during an autocross event, while i was seeking for a block, I came across few cheap B16A2 blocks. Did a research on the forums and found out B16A2 has low horsepower and compression ratio of 10.2.1 (PR3) instead of 10.4.1 which came in my JDM B16a. now i need to clarify these facts before I purchase a b16a2 block.
B16a2
1) If I use b16a (p30) 10.4.1 pistons will it perform just like the JDM B16a? or will there still be a power loss due to some other reasons?
2) Can i use my B16A Head and JDM (Std) Cams on B16A2?
3) if i buy a B16a2 Block/ Engine do i need to change my Gearbox as well?
