JDM type R engine codes

[dr180]

Hi there just wondering whet the engine code for a JDM integra type r is

I know the AUS is B18C5 and US is B18C7 someone told me it was just B18C if that is so then it is the same code as the JDM integra SiR which is also B18C. How would you tell the difference if the intake, cam cover and extractors have been changed.

Thanks,

[tinkerbell]

b18c

the head should have green paint near the dizzy...

[tinkerbell]

ALSO -

doesnt the SiR have the P72 head?

the Type R has a PR3 head...

ie cant swap the IM's over?

[OLM-02R]

US B18C5 and AUS B18C7...UK B18C6...

[Civic Type R]

and then my JDM ITR engine is stamped 'B18' - which add to the confusion

[civicboy]

call up Honda, Japan :D :p

same im abit confused between jdm sir b18c & type r b18cR :confused:

[tinkerbell]

and then my JDM ITR engine is stamped 'B18' - which add to the confusion

why do you continually try to lead people on here astray? :thumbdwn:

you said yourself that it was re-stamped, so STFU.

Thanks,

to clarify, the AUDM is B18C7 the USDM is B18C5

you just had it wrong way around...

the way to tell if it is a JDM ITR/CTR engine is if it is a B18C with a PR3 stamped head

[civicboy]

thank u tinkerbell:!::thumbsup:

[hondar]

just to add a bit more. b16a head is a PR3 head as well. Type R head is a re-worked PR3 head.

i think what peolple saying is good, very helpful but if u want to be 100% sure, the best way to look is to open up the engine. safest bet

type r cams will have this groove as circled in the pics. non-type r cams doesnt has this

it has a type r valve springs which is coded yellow and blue...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/hondar/VS3.jpg

type r con-rods with P73 stamped on it

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/hondar/ozconrods.jpg

and type r pistons with p73 stamped as well.

there are others as well.. this is not exhaustive list..

if u re still afraid, just buy from reputable seller...

hope this helps...

[civicboy]

gr8 info here hondar :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[tinkerbell]

if it says B18C on the block and has a PR3 head, it is most likely to be a Type R engine...

a bit hard to confuse it with a B16A ;)

[tinkerbell]

also - hondar, don't the non-JDM Type R B18C's have P73-A0 pistons?

[hondar]

seeing is believing! lol! :D . no offence okay... i am not having a go at you... :D :thumbsup:

but yes good point and save the trouble... lol

[tinkerbell]

well, B16A has lower deck height than B18C, so if you are concerned that your B18C is a restamped B16A...

...just measure the deck height ;)

B16A is 7mm shorter than B18C (263mm vs 270mm)

(is this what you were getting at hondar?)

well it is more that people could get a normal b18c (standard sir or vtir) block and put a pr3 head from b16a and the type r intake manifold and the valve cover and passed it as Type R.

thats my only concern actually, but yes you are right...deck height is a good way at looking at it as well... :D

Hey Tinker, chill dude, no need to get all worked up :rolleyes:
We all know my block is a restamped B18c. Research revealed that but if the engine ended up in someone elses untrained hands then they too would have been faced with my dilemma.

Theres no denying u know ur engines, im just presenting the irregularities seen around town.

ahhhh, yes, fair bit-o-work involved though...

but could be worth the dollars i guess?

no-one has pickled me up on the green paint on the head either - i am not 100% on that, so i havent pushed it...

but i have been told that Honda paints green paint on the distributor side of the head of the PR3's that it wanted to hand port for the Type R's

so this could be another way to tell, but only if it wasn't there...

[DaPlaya]

AUDM is b18c5, he got it right the first time...

[JDM.Power]

im just gonn have a go australia uses the b18c7 ...an by the way what engine does the b18c1 come from??

[kenshin]

b18c1 is the usa gsi block

[JDM.Power]

can we get b18c1 down in australia??

[civicboy]

yah if u wanna import it...

[kenshin]

why do u want a b18c1 (non type R) block???

JDM are b18c on top line then starts with 1 on the 2nd line... so you mite be confused....

[FR33K]

b18c1 is the usa gsi block

GSi's are B18b's

anyway this thread is so funny
yous have confused the poor guy
people.. just dont guess lol

[FR33K]

AUDM is b18c5, he got it right the first time...

lol youve just gone against 99% of what people have said in this thread..
does that tell you something ??

[tanghy]

b18c1 is the usa gsi block

b18c1 is the usa GSR block
which is equivalent to the audm VTiR block (which is the b18c2)

[JDM.Power]

doesn't really matter if it's a type-r or not...atleast you got a engine under the hood..

[tinkerbell]

AUDM is b18c5, he got it right the first time...

think more, post less

[Civic Type R]

this thread has gone stupid.

[FR33K]

the LS has a b18c7
the DC5R has a B18a
the GSi has a b18c5

[Sp3rMz]

Bloody hell Fr33k must u confused people even more. TSK TSK. Had me going for a second then i realised what was going on.

BTW AUSDM USES B18C7 i got a stamp on my engine saying so :P

[kenshin]

mine says "HONDA"

[one more chance]

i have always known the JDM ITR to be B18C5, 98 onwards.

refer here.. http://www.ozhonda.com/data/codes.htm

[tinkerbell]

OZHONDA - for all your mis-information needs...

BTW - for the record, i answered dr180's question in the 2nd bloody post.

[tinkerbell]

and this: http://www.ozhonda.com/data/codes.htm

is soooo freaking wrong it is embarrassing

[Sp3rMz]

This thread is kinda getting useless as missleading info is gettin thrown left right and centre. As tinkerbell said he answered the question in his second post. I'm goin to lock this before someone confuses everyone even more. Any problems or if you want it reopened, feel free to PM me.
