How would you know what generation a B18b engine is? I recently saw a post about this last week, but I can't find it anymore. Also when did they start making B18b engines? I am about to buy one, but I wanted to make sure he was telling me the truth about the year of the engine. Thanks

 

Anyone? People posted in the post i saw.. Search engine doesn't work.. I tired, engine codes, engine date, engine generation, engine age, etc.. Help!

 

depends on the year. b18bs run from 94+
I am not sure the break down when obd2 starts... 97?

 

94-95=obd1
96-2001=obd2

 

you can tell obd2 from obd1 from the injectors clips..

 

Or the distributor plug, or the evap purge solenoid. OBD-I B-series has 2 plugs at the distributor, OBD-II has 1 big one.

 

Well someone told me that you can read the number under the "B18b" and it en-codes to a generation. Anyone know about this? Thanks to everyone else for helpin' out

 

No, but you can read the date stamp on the head... right above the exhaust ports.

 

right above the head, there's a date stamp? i'll look for it. thanks

 

and by the vin#
