Default b16/b20 and b18 thermostats different?

just checked the part numbers and they are diffeent for b16 and ls motor

b16 and b20 share same part number
and the b18 and 92-01 integras have same thermostat number.


whats the difference?



on a sidenote. wtf dealerships. 38 dollars+tax for the thermostat when the list price is 23. what a fn ripoff... and 17+shipping online for OEM honda

dude youre fine as long as its oem honda...
and also when you look into that spec page in the acura helms and look at the water pumps that one makes no sense and the oil pump specs makes you think...

i know ill be fine but if they are different temp it would be good to know.


if they were same they would have same exact part number because alot of honda and acura parts share same number if they are identical

honda would not put 2 different numbers on identical part it would make no sense to stock the warehouse with 2 same parts.
