B18B1 comes from 94-01 Acura Integra LS. OBD1 motors are 94-95, and OBD2 motors are 96-01. If your distributer plug is a two piece it is a OBD1 motor, and if it is a one piece it is a OBD2 motor.

From what I can tell is looks as though you have an OBD1 motor. So if you were to go get parts for it you would need parts for a 94-95 Acura Integra LS.

if i had to guess, it would be from an obd2 integra, since you have the evap purge that bolts directly to the IM, and the pcv in the valve cover. but that's not to say whoever swapped it didn't convert the motor to obd2. you have an obd1 transmission on there.
only way to really know is check the head stamp. and then check to see if the block had the black catch can on the back, only obd1 motors had them.

Judging from your picture, and assuming nobody has swapped valve covers, it looks to be an obdII engine (96-01)
Here is how you truly check the exact year......

Looks like your valve covers peeling a little bit. I'd get a fresh paint job on it, and tuck some wires in your bay/clean it up a little bit.
Any plans/goals as far as performance?

Is that a spectre air filter? I would get a foam or a K&N filter if I was you.. those spectre filters hardly do anything.

I'm not sure, I think you can just pull the spectre filter off and pop a new K&N cone filter on. I have a foam filter on my setup, never messed with K&N before.
