Re: B16? (Red_Rabbit)
The letters are the motor series, the numbers are displacement figures. For example a B16A is a 1.6l Bseries motor. The H22A is a 2.2L Hseries motor, but the H23 is 2.3l.. Etc etc etc.

Kewl man, what color? I have a 93 EJ (Coupe) her name is Desiree, I just threw a rod in my pretty JDM B16A a couple weeks ago. Then I bought this 91 DA Integra the next day and blew the trans in that the day after. LMAO. If there is something that's gonna break on a car, believe me, I'll break it. Seriously post your opinion HERE

The motor codes such as b16a, means that it's a 1.6 litre engine and it's a DOHC. The 'b' is just the series and the numbers are the litres. Just throw a decimal in between them and WHAM, instant engine size!
