He is probably talking about how he tell the difference in the years.



Other ways:
OBD0 (86-91) The wiring harness has clear or whiteish connectors
OBD1 (92-95) The wiring harness has grey connectors
OBD2 (96 -present) The wiring harness has grey connectors but black injector clips

There are a few other way, But I am tired tonight

DOHC is bigger on first gen, VTEC is bigger on Second gen

btw- whats the purpose of posting a link to the search menu. i mean really, if you don't like his post then don't reply to it. i'm pretty sure thats in the forum guidlines somewhere. you're suppose to post links to the answer and not to just the search page. it's ppl that post links to the searchpage that make honda-tech a heaping load of crap sometimes

look at the block ID:



if the number below B16A begins with:

1. 1...then it's a first generation b16a w/ cable transmission
2. 5...then it's a second generation b16a w/ hydro transmission

hope that helps.

this is true, but valve covers are interchangeable.

i believe USDM EK b16a has the B16A4 imprinted on it.

If you just have the block, you can convert it either way.

94-95 Del Sol VTEC - B16A3 - OBD1
96-97 Del Sol VTEC - B16A2 - OBD2-A
99-00 Civic Si - B16A2 - OBD2-B

and i just glanced over that page real quick and found this:

B18C5 1.8 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1797 195hp@7800rpm 130tq@7600rpm '98-'01 Integra Type-R (JDM)

that sound right? **** no. that link = teh wrong.

#1 b18c5 is in 97-01 &gt;usdm&lt; ITRs.
#2 b18c is 200 HP not 195
#3 b18c is in 96-01 &gt;jdm&lt; ITRs.
