hehe it's ok...the JDM motors are designated just b16A but the american motors have a # after the b16A engine code. The B16A3 is the VTEC del sol motor and the B16A2 is the 99-00 Civic SI motor.

LS/VTECS suck IMO. There is a reason why no pros use LS/VTEC set-ups. And the B16A2 in a 95' is stupid when you can get a JDM SIR with ten more HP and no OBD issues for a lot less. I am a big fan of LS motors on boost though.
