i just got my b18a block today im so happy
Incorrect, there are 2 diff types of the b18a1, the obd0 and the obd1. The obd1 b18a makes 140 hp, 2 hp shy of the b18b and the b18b's ignition curves are more advanced so you're only an ecu away from that extra 2hp. The obd0 b18a1 has weaker cams. Thx for playing tho

thay are the same head like you stated the cams slight change the springs are rated 9Psi more but it does lie in the ecu also sense it is Obd and not preobd its like compairing b16 to b16a2 10more Hp cause of the ecu and cam Yet the b16 as slight higher compression to the b16a2

There are no pre-obd b16 ecu's

The b16a2 probably got most of its +10hp from the cams, not really the ecu.

The obd0 PR4 has a little under 1 degree less advance @ 6200 rpm (peak hp) than the obd1 92-93 b18a. 1 degree is not going to give you 10hp.
