This really should have been posted as a sticky post in all Civic forums because it really applies to most of our cars...

There is a good section about B20's (CRV engines) in there, but I suggest reading the whole post too.

if ya havent figured it out the B20 is out of the CRV and the b16 was available in a variety of cars that i dont care to divulge into right now.

I thought that the B20 engine came from the 88-81 Prelude!?

88-91*

thats the B20A1. they are generally referred to as the "crappy B series motor", but really they aren't "B" series at all, as far as everyone knows "b" series.

The B20 everybody refers to is the B20B/Z that came from the CRV engine.

the B16 came in a variety of cars. The JDM 88-91 CRX/Civic SiR, as well as the 90-93 Integra XSi. this was the venerable B16A. Later models of JDM cars included the newer models of SiR and some other which i dont know.

USDM B16 came out in only two cars: the 94-95 del sol VTEC had a B16A3 (OBDI), 96-97 del sol VTEC had a B16A2 (OBDII), and the 99-00 Civic Si had a B16A2 (OBDII)
