its the engine code
basically its a 1.6 engine with 160bhp under it
that is if its just the B16a theres other versions B16a1 thou to a6 with varying power between 150 and 170 bhp the one you really want thou if you sticking with b16's is the B16b with 190bhp this is still a 1.6 nasp engine

What we need is a guide to the Honda engine codes  (Anyone up for this?). Which Honda engines are the best for tuning etc...

Thats cheating a lot - not a bit. The question is can wikipedia be trusted?

yeah i noticed some of the stuff had bits saying it still had to be vertified
still it gives a list of all the engines not just the uk ones but imports as well
a list comppiled by someone how has tuned the more common ones would be a good idea as it shows what can be done and for what price

same as all honda engines they need to be hammered to get the best results due to the high power but lack of torque
try looking around scrappys the ones where you remove things yourself may mean you get it cheaper
