Ok, I know a 5th gen is a BB6

I THOUGHT for the longest time that my car, being a 4th gen, was a BB1, and that all preludes from 1992-1996 were BB1's.

but now someone referred to a 4th gen as a BB4.

Can someone explain the BB# to me?

 

It's BB1 as far as I know.

 

BB1 is the VIN code for a 4th gen with 2.2l DOHC VTEC
BB2 is the VIN code for a 4th gen with 2.3l DOHC
BB8 is the VIN code for a 4th gen with 2.2l SOHC

BB4 I've never heard of... It could designate the US 4ws 2.3l model or it could be a version sold in a foreign market...

Just look at your VIN plate, and it tells you what model you have - It starts out JHMBBx....

correction: BA8 is the 2.2 sohc "S" model

 

I was just gonna say that!

 

Oops - typo! Yep, you're right...

I think the BB4 designation only exists in Japan. I drive a JDM 1996 Prelude VTEC 5-speed, which is right hand drive. In the engine bay, chasis designation is BB4 and engine designation is H22A only, no numbers following that. Hope this clears up some. I will try to digicam the chasis designation plate and post it here.

 

just lookk at your vin number and it will be on there

 

It's all in Japanese btw.

 

and BB6 is prelude typeS

 

what are the american prelude?? bb4??
