Default B16A. 170hp or 160hp?

Someone posted a while back a way to tell if the B16A was 160hp or 170hp by the numbers on the block. Anyone remember how or have a link to the post?

Japan's market - 170 bhp - engine code is B16A (Sir II)

US market - 160 whp - engine code is B16A1 or B16A2.

I have a oem fit B16a in a '89 JDM SiR & they put out 158 hp stock.
B16a1 is a 150hp b16a4 is 170hp unless the euro/uk b16's are different?

if its usdm it will either be b16a2 or b16a3 as posted above (both 160)

if its jdm it will just say 'b16a' and then you deal with the different generations, all have 170 except the first gen b16 which has a cable tranny and is rated at 160 or so hp and optional lsd

No the B16A from Japan was 160 hp until 1991. The 92-96 b16a is 168 hp. Its not an B16A2,B16A4, or B16A1. Its just a B16A. The numbers beneath the B16A tell which is which. I think anything starting with a 5 is the 168 hp one, but I want to be sure.
