Where listed, power output figures are based on the most powerful production variant of that engine, because some manufacturers use different engine maps to tune the same engine for better fuel economy, performance or to differentiate models in the range.

Transmission: S4C with Helical LSD (4.4 final drive, dual-cone synchronizer on 2nd gear).

VTEC engagement: 6,100 RPM.

ECU code: PCT

ECU Socket Type: OBD-2A on 1996 to 1998 models, OBD-2B  on 1999 to 2000 models.

This engine uses the same block as the Integra Type R, which is taller than the B16A block, but with a crank the same stroke as the B16A. It uses longer rods to accommodate for this, which is why the rod/stroke ratio is higher than a standard B16. It is basically a 'Destroked B18C Type R engine'.
