Is the JDM B18C from a JDM VTIR or a JDM Type R?

Only the VTIR engine has the secondary runners.

JDM b18c has no secondary butterfly and VTEC comes on at 5800.

no higher, no lower.

This is the case with AUDM vtir & JDM Sir-G.

They both have the dual stage intake manifold.

Vtec comes on at 4200(I think) and Secondaries at 5k+.

REPEAT - TYPE R'S DON'T HAVE DUAL STAGE INTAKE!!!!!!

WIN :thumbsup:

engine came out from a 98 spec type r motor..... dont know but I can hear the vtec activate at 5200 and when it reaches 5800 it goes even louder and harder, OKAY i have no idea then... whatever u say is right

in the post made above by aaronng which manifold does ur 1 look like, if its the first 1 then ur motor isnt a type R.

Jesus christ there are some noobs nowdays.

Itr has single butterflys
Jdmsir/vtir has dual butterflys

Original poster, check your oil levels asap!
You will either have low oil levels or low water temps.

lol at everyones comments in 1st page haha
