For the obd1 jdm b16, the name on the block is just b16a, there is no number, only the b16a2 came in the usa, the engine your thinking of is the b16a SiR 2.Quoted post[/post]]
yeah i know but there are 2 different jdm b16 motors.
there is the jdm b16a1 which i believe came in 88-91 civics and crx's, and there is the jdm b16a2 which came in 92-95 civic sir II's. The b16a2 has 10 more hp.
what i want to know is how to tell these apart?

That's because it does, because it's JDM y0. No seriously, there is a "1" after it.Quoted post[/post]]
i could swear that my b16a has a 1 after the a
only the "one million series" first generation jdm b16's had a 1 following the A. most first gen. b16's were just stamped with "B16A"... i've seen quite a few first gen jdm b16a's, but never a b16a1. they're very rare.Quoted post[/post]]

where exactly on the head is the date stamped
8800 rpm or so I've always read. But you ain't gonna rev it that high unless you're insane. It makes peak power in stock form at around 7200 rpm if I remember correctly. If you modify the shit out of it you can make it rev into the 9000's and make better power up there, but not stock.Quoted post[/post]]
and where does the jdm sir II motor redline at? i know the usdm sir is 8200, i think the jdm one is 8400 isnt it?
no that is where the engine code and serial number are stamped on the block. he's asking where the year it was cast is stamped on the head. and it's not actually stamped, it's part of the casting. it's right above the header. hold on... i'll go take a pic of a head i have in a minute.Quoted post[/post]]

where exactly on the head is the date stamped
its on the lower left side of the front, right below the "B16A"
no. as already stated in this thread, b16a's stock rev limit is right around 8200.Quoted post[/post]]

look at the serial numbers. the first gen (b16a1 as you're referring to it as) will start with a 1. the second gen will start with a 5.

no, on first gen b16's out of 88-91 civic's and crx's the serial started with a 1. 2nd gen b16's from 92+ civic's started with a 5.Quoted post[/post]]

From what I recall, the first gen B16s that started with a 1 were from the JDM Integra XSi. The first gen B16s that started with a 5 come from the Civic/CRX SiR. So basically, the serial number denotes what car it came from not what year it was manufactuerd.
