The B18A and B18B bottom ends are identical. Neither is stronger than the other. On the other hand, the B18B has a better head and intake manifold.

Re: (pinoyboiWONDER)
Most people probably told you go to with the 90-93 b18A1 because the 90-91 motors were obd0 and a lot simpler (wiring wise) to install into an EF/ED chassis.
Like storminmatt said, the difference between the b18A1 and the B18B1 is in the head/intake manifold

There was no B18B1 made prior to 94, so you must be talking about a B18a.
