I think it's cheaper cause it's older. Pretty sure it's the same motor though.

B16A2

- bigger TB -60mm
- better intake manifold
- single 4 wire o2 sensor for exhaust, being obdI
- better cams
- P30 pistons for 10.4:1 compression

The engine makes similar power, but has a better powerband, better idle quality, better mileage

well thats what i was trying to figure out cuz if there the same thing what does it matter am i right? but if the performace is the same why not get the cheaper one that does the same thing?? lol and if they have the same parts and can use interchangable parts id like to save a lil money ya know... but i do see were ur coming from on the age..
