Hey guys, just wondering if I can use b18c5 block onto b18c7 head? And Can we use the b18c5 in Australian? Thanks guys

If u can get it I don't see why not. It's the US Type-R motor

Engine number is on the block, so u change ur block then it deem you engine swap, might have to go thru the licensing sh!t

So do I have to let vic road know that I've change to a new block?

You can use the b18c5 block in Australia. If your unaware, the b18c5 motor has 10:6 compression compared to b18c7 11:1

I am pretty sure you do, otherwise your engine number won't match with the system.

Hey guys just a quick question, if I get another Jdm b18cr short block from another dc2r do I've to get the block shave? Balance? Etc and also I'll need bottom end gasket kit right? Thanks guys

It depends on the condition of the short block, personally I would rebuild the whole short block. Hone, shave deck, crank polish, new bearings and rings.

The long block I'm gotta get is in good condition. Doesn't blow smoke etc.. But my main question is above. Thanks for that hint buddy

If the block is fine just whack it in and go
