B18A / B18B / B18C

What is the different between B18A, B18B and B18C type of engine? I'm new to Honda-based engine.

Izzit B18A for NA while B18B with VTEC. And B18C was VTEC Turbo?

No turbo on hondas from the factory

B18A - Non-vtec engine, came in the generation 2 LS's. 130hp (to the crank)

B18B - Non-vtec engine, came in the 3rd gen LS's. 140hp. (to the crank) Same block as the B18A, just different head (cams?)

B18C1 - Vtec engine, 3rd gen GSR's. 170hp (to the crank)
