Scared my itr is a vt-r....

[cymax]

There's one easy way to check if it's an ITR chassis. Check if there's a lower tie bar below your subframe.

AFAIK, the oem rear lower tie bar for DC2R will not be able to fit into VTi-R because there's no bracket or holes to hold onto the subframe.

Finally, you might want to see if it's a 5 lug

[nickasse]

yeh i've got one of them ^
and yes, it's 5 lug

thanks for the help guys, at least now i know what i'm driving lol
"a real driver knows exactly what's in his car" rofl especially what f***** engine it's got.

S80 isn't enough to identify the box as being ITR. Does it have "LSD" stamped on it?

haha nice line
Well were glad u got n answa mate, enjoy the fun of having a honda responsibly of course
Case closed?

Only thing i can think of is that the ENTIRE chasis was changed to a Type R chasis but who the hell would go to all that trouble.. Sigh

it would easier to show pics, if theres no pics it would be hard to tell.

Hey hotdc2 do you know if you need an engineer certificate if the block was change regarding NSW rules and regulation. If so thats something the OP might need to think about

You do not need an engineers cert. providing you do not increase engine capacity by more than 10% (in regards to displacement). In this instance, if the OP were in NSW he would be fine so long as the change has been registered with the respective authorities (which it has). I cannot speak in regards to Victoria, though I would imagine it would be along the same line of thought.

just wanted to thank everyone for your help. Atm it's an integra type r with a vti-r block and itr head in it lol. Is there any way i can make sure the chasis is integra type r? i'm pretty sure it is, because it's got all those itr parts...

Not a problem, it's what we're here for In regards to checking, as string mentioned, your best bet is to call up Honda and ask them to tell you if it isn't or not. No matter what people say can and can't be done, there will always be others who will go out and do it simply for the sake of doing it. Honda drivers are a brilliant example of this. So in regards to all the little ITR bits and pieces you would assume guarantees that it is genuine.. just be a little bit cautious and ring up someone who can tell you for sure!

i'll start a little poll: on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, how badly f'd over did i get lol?

I'd say so long as it was just the block that has been changed, you've done alright. Yeah, you were screwed over a little bit but it could have been much, MUCH worse. I'd give it a 3/10 providing it's an original ITR chassis with everything except the block.

if it doesnt have a factory sunroof then its a itr shell

This isn't entirely true. I think someone else mentioned this earlier in the thread. Aftermarket sunroofs are always an option as well so it isn't a guarantee.

oh and also, is there anyway i can see whether the gearbox is an itr gearbox without pulling it out or anything?

If you can't locate the LSD stamp another easy way to find out would be to find a local dealer with a VTi-R for sale and go and test drive it. You will most definately feel the difference!

[MRK20CRX]

where abouts did u buy the car from man, i remember these was a vti-r or gsi that was a type r replica, looked just like a dc2r, couldn't tell the difference, was white too

[nickasse]

^ yeh that one was for sale when i bought mine, but i didn't buy that one lol.

[simonnowis]

maybe everything else is a type R, except for the bottom block hence the b18c2 stamped on it.

[GSi_PSi]

i would be pretty pissed if its B18C2 block. cause if the block is standard, the comp ratio is around 10:1 or so and with a PR3 head compression is even lower compared to P72 head. The B18C7 block has greater comp ratio, lightweight balanced Crankshaft, Different pistons 11+ comp, better Oil/water pumps....

[morgs202]

I thought everythng in itr motor was balanced and blueprinted by hand too?
