Hey guys i have a noob question, i have googled it and heard a few things from others, still cant come to a conclusion.
Does anyone here know what is engraved on the engine for a jdm dc2r?
I was under the impression it was just 'B18C' but i have a read/heard otherwise. About to buy one and it sounds too good to be true. Soo ya. Thank you. I know that AusDM are b18c7 for type r and b18c2 for the vtir. Just not sure about the JDM models. cheers :)
Regards

There is no such thing as an Aus 94 ITR, you're being jipped.
ITR's were made from 98+ in Australia.

GSR , is the USA version of our local VTiR. It is a 1.8 B18 VTEC.
But...why would an american engine end up here in OZ ?
Take pictures to make sure.

Its a okay car for the price, i went to check it out for wid my mate, but it wasnt what he was looking for
Good points - JDM B18C Vtir engine - goes nicely, Red DC5R recaros, Cheap
Bad points- Smokes a bit, Paint is rough, engine bay isnt painted, driver side recaro doesnt recline properly, exhaust has a leak

dud. not even a vtir body. its a dc4 with an engine swap not sure which one. cars literally on its arse like sitting on the exhaust which is why theres a leak. His a good bloke admitted he's not sure if its genuine k's (in other words his definite that its been winded back) and that the girl he bought i off didnt know when the last service was. interior is grot but :thumbsup: for the recaros+retrim. paint is pretty bad. if the engines a real b18c1 it will be slightly quicker than an aus one so if you make sure its genuine and clean then raise it and its borderline a good deal.
