I'm a little curious, and I've looked around a bit to try to ease my curiosity before posting this message because I could have swore that someone would've asked it before me. But I cannot seem to find it on the serch thingy, honda.com isn't very helpful or good for anything except selling cars to yuppies, and all the other web sites that I go to discuss selling of the different engine types, but don't really tell you what the code means.
i.e. B18A1
Ok, it's a b block (not sure what that means) that has 1.8 litres of displacement, and you can bolt it to any b type transmission. What do the B, The A, and the last 1 stand for, or are they just fancy little names?
Thanks billions, if some one can clear up this mystery for me I'll love u forever.

In the example of say a B18C1

B is the engine family
18 is the displacement
C is the specific block
1 is for which engine variant it is

So B18C1 is a 1.8 liter B series with the P72 block and GSR internals.

A B18C5 is a 1.8 liter B series with the P72 block and Type R internals.

You get the idea.

Kendall

Also, note the differences in the B16A2 and the B16A3.

And note that JDM engines don't have the final engine variant number.

Katman

B = B-series, designates what engine series the motor is made for.
18 = 1.8L, designates engine liter size
A1,B1 = usually designates the 1st or 2nd generation model of motor, as well as defining if the motor is a JDM or US vtec or non-vtec engine.

B18A1 = 1st generation LS motor [90-93 integra RS/LS/GS/GS special engine]
B18B1 = 2nd generation LS motor [94-01 integra RS/LS/GS/GS special engine]

Makes enough sense, any idea where I might find some research material with a full listing of some sort?

Do a search, there are many websites with complete engine and vehicle listings.

for all B-series engines?

B16A (JDM 89-91 civic/crx SiR & 92-00 civic EG/EK SiR & 90-93 DA integra XSi/RSi)
B16A2 (US 96-97 Delsol and 99+ Si coupe)
B16A3 (US 93-95? delsol)
B16A4 (Euro VTi? could be wrong)

B16B (JDM 98-00 Civic-R)

B17A1 (US 92-93 GSR)

B18A or B (can't remember which one but there is a JDM LS block)
B18A1 (US 90-93 integra LS)
B18B1 (US 94-01 integra LS)

B18C (JDM GSR & ITR)
B18C1 (US 94-01 GSR)
B18C2 (not sure if there's such a thing)
B18C3 (JDM only, a B18C block bought straight from the Honda factory)
B18C4 (Euro GSR)
B18C5 (US 97-98 & 00-01 Type-R)
B18C6 (Euro too I think, could be wrong)

...those are all i can think of, off the top of my dome piece for now.

The B18C6 is a Euro ITR engine.
