Ok i assume we all know our block codes but i came across a new one recently.
Stamped on the block is just: B18
no 4th letter and no number.
I assume this is a JDM Type R engine ?

ok i have some pics. who would be so kind to host them up for me (as i cant do that here) :(
hey i think ive seen that motor too, i thort that type r motors had b18c5 or b18c7 on them. the motor u saw is for sale right
hey! come to think of it!!!!!!!!
it *might* be a 'bare block' from Honda.
ie a B18 bare block, without crank, bought from Honda SPare Parts.
that way - it could be either a A B or a C???
makes sense ;)
I'll host the pics civ type R email me at eclipsor@optusnet.com.au
i think i sent them to Win ..
Win ?
There was nothing attached to the email.Quote:

isnt there a number just above the exhaust ports that also tells u what type of block u have?? eg. p08, a6 (i think)
P72 i think it says somewhere.
I know its got forged pistons and a knife edged crank etc.
nah, not always accurateQuote:

so if it has a P72 head - it is a VtiR/GSR head.
and it seems like the block is a bare B18 block bought as a block from Honda to be rebuilt...
is it for sale Civic Type R?
this is ferrel's engine?
YEs it was :)Quote:

Hence forged pistons, knife edged crank, modified oil sump etc ..
So thumbs up to the guy who thought of that :)
glad you have got the answer...

turns out my sources are incorrect.
This engine is a JDM B18c that was restamped B18 to overcome the strict Chinese engine laws. It was restamped to make it race legal to be used in Macau and coverup the history of the engine.
This has been approved by the purchaser of this engine befor i purchased it off the last user. O and it does have all the fruit :D
no i am almost 100% sure the JDM type r has just B18C printed, no number after it
no idea what u saw ?_?
panda, u are correct and it was stamped B18c. It was then flatened out and restamped B18.

but yeah, mine is b18c1 with just b18c stamped.
i'm guessing it must be same deal with b18c1 (jap vtir):rolleyes:

c1 is not jap vtir
c1 = american GSR
b18c1 is USDM GSR engine...thats wat i got on mine... :D
hmmm then wtf is jap vtir? lolz
i honestly dont mind as not goin for high compression *wink-wink, nudge nudge*
jap engines have no # after the C
if it is a SiR engine it will have dual intake manfiold
if it is a type R it will have a single intake
um, if that is a picture of your engine number - that is not a B18C1Quote:

i really dont understand how you could think that that is a B18C1
all JDM engines have no number after the C.
JDM VTiR = SiR and Type R are all B18C on the block. As Tangy said, the noticable difference in with the intake runners and the Type R has Spec R on the blue Vin tag.
O .. and the stock Type R has a red valve cover too.
