Hi,

I bought a B16B, Year 1998. And the guy who sold it to me, told me that the 98 was a really nice year and it was special year (like if it was a 98 spec'r, but it's not a itr...)

I was wondering when Honda started to built and sell B16B? Because lost of site say they started in 97-00. And the guy was like, no it started in 96, bla bla bla...

Does it exist a 1996 b16b? and what's the difference with the 4 bolt ctr and 5 bolt ctr mag? (He told me in 96 they had b16b with the 4 bolt convertion, and in 98 they made the 5 bolt on the ctr)

I know it's a lot of questions but i'm a little bit lost.

Thank you

 

In late 96, the 97 model was introduced....so yes, production by the numbers was 97-00

 

As far as bolt pattern, i believe 96 model Integra's were 4 bolt 114 spacing, the CTR 97/00 were 5 bolt like the later model Integra's. Here's a pic i took myself of a 00 CTR last fall while out in the Carribbean Islands

 

Honda always starts early in Japan. That's why there is a 1991 EG6, a 1995 DC2 ITR, etc.

AFAIK there is no 4 lug CTR though.
