Differences between a b18c5 96-97 specs and b18c5 98+ specs?
Hello HT, yes I know this is a noob question but I'm new to honda and plan on buying a new motor. I heard about the b18c5 type r motor and that's the motor I want but like the question above, what's the differences between those two? Just want to know because if they don't have much differences then I rather go cheap and get the 96-97 specs. Well any answers will be thankful. And please if you just gonna come in here and talk trash, don't waste my time and yours.

biggest difference i think is the obd. the 96-97 will be obd2a and the 98+ will be obd2b. finding what obd your car is will make it easier cuz if your obd2b and buy a obd2a motor you'll have to convert it and then it wont be the cheaper motor in the long run
dont quote me i might be wrong with some of this. do some more searching on here all the info is on HT....somewhere lol

00-01 cams are more agressive than the 97-98.
tranny has very slight differences in gear ratios.
00-01 have different intake valve springs.

I don't know about the valve springs being different, never heard of that before
Other differences i can think of for jdm spec 00-01 models.......
