Difference between B16A's

[in4ni]

What is the difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation B16 ? Also what is the major difference between B16A and B16B?


Thank you

About 10 HP

obd0 to obd1 is the biggest along with the difference in hp which is gained in compression and of course other things.

So if im looking for a ragged B16A to rebuild it really doesnt matter if i get a 1st gen or 2nd gen? I plan on replacing Crank, rods, pistons, and head. maybee even a stroker kit.

thank you

The B16B is basically the same as the B18C5, just destrked to 1.6L.

As far as differences between the B16A's, the electronics are different, and the trannies. On the 1st gen, the thermostat housing is different, but other than that, they are basically the same. Cams, and pistons are spec'ed a little different,giving the 92+ JDM ones about 10 more hp.

Should have been able to chirp 2nd and 3rd anyway, and have fun revving to 9000 on a B16A valvetrain (while it last)
