Block of b18

[Limbo]

Can someone tell me the difference in the numbers on the lower block for a Integra VTIR and a Type R.

I'm just trying to find out if a B18 block is an ITR or VTIR block.

thanks

audm vtir is b18c2
audm type r b18c7

usdm gsr is b18c1
usdm type r (rsx?) is b18c5

jdm SiR b18c
jdm type r b18c

jap spec is B18C only, u can only tell if its R or SIR from the head

Aus spec itr b18c7

[Snoop_gee]

difference between
*B18C VTIR
*B18C 96 DC2 type R

is it as simple as refering to engine block info b18c2 and b18c7?or is there any other physical appearance that i could see from one to another.:confused:

from the head and intake manifold..
and also the color of the rocker cover

']
usdm gsr is b18c1
usdm rsx is b18c5

nope

B18c5 is the usdm integra type r
K20a2/3 is the usdm rsx

from the head and intake manifold..
and also the color of the rocker cover


the colour of the rocker cover can be painted or swaped

but how to tell from the head and intake manifold? whats different?
please explain
thanks

The GSR/VTi-R/SiR intake manifold looks upside-down compared to all other B series manifolds due to the fact it has secondaries which open at 5700rpm.

um correct me if i'm wrong but your head will be stamped with "P73" if it's a type R and "P72" if it's a GSR/VTiR/SiR-G

[EG5]

type R or b16 is PR3

[panda[cRx]]

nope

B18c5 is the usdm integra type r
K20a2/3 is the usdm rsx

didn't u girls call the dc2r an rsx as well?

farken yanks with your acura BS:rolleyes:

[VT3C]

type R or b16 is PR3

but there must be SOME stamping to diferentiate between Type R and B16 heads.. yes they're the same head, but one has had mild port n polish and not to mention cams and valvetrain upgrades..

Ahh but the Japs are sneaky. Just the same as there engines. All there B16a's are stamped b16a, all B18C's are B18C. None of thie C2, C5 or C7 just JDM efficiency.

Smartypants not talking about BLOCK stampings.. talking about HEAD stampings.. the bit that says B16A/B18C.D16Y8 is the BLOCK yo !!

[KB]

I know that.

Im just saying they could use the same head stampings on both HEADS. Because they use the same block stampings on both BLOCKS. ie VTi-R and Type R blocks are called C2 and C7 but in JDM land they are Both plain old C's. Could use the same method when stamping both B16a and Type R B18 Heads.

[VT3C]

Actually it says on the FRONT of the block (exhaust side) "PR3/4"

however I'm pretty sure it is also stamped with something else on the intake side.. I vaguely recall it saying P30 either on the underside of the IM or the Block under the IM.. but not sure

[doriemon]

hmm so it would be hard to tell the jdm b18c is from a sir or a type r then?
coz i found one for sale and not sure if its a sir or type r
