Identifying a B-Series starter.
Looking for help identifying B-Series starters.
The starter that is the dirtier brown color is what I’ve had on my B18C ITR EG for a couple years. That one has ‘44213’ on it. It failed on my last race day and I’m attempting to replace it but also have it rebuilt to keep as a spare.
The starter that is the cleaner, brighter, silver color is one I picked up locally that was claimed to be for an automatic Integra/CRV. The gear snout is shorter. This starter will not seat properly to my B18C/S80 manual transmission with the starter bolts installed. With the starter bolts installed, the starter will not sit all the way flush/flat. I can only get this starter completely into the starter hole if the two starter bolts are not threaded in. There are zero markings or stickers on this starter.
I’m trying to locate more of the style with the longer gear snout since I know that style is compatible on my vehicle.
Update: I went to see what starters the local NAPA and Autozone had in stock. All of their “94-01 Integra B18” starters are the short gear snout while their “99-00 Civic Si DOHC B16” starters are the longer snout style.
Thanks for your help 🍻
