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

[90LAN]

lol, did the vehicle check n everything - was on the look out for b18c1...when i saw c2 thought ah k it's all good. the thing revs to the right limit, goes like i thought it would go....and yeh...dw guys, thanks for all your help but ima work this out....maybe ill post what i end up doing (engine-wise) and you can see what i end up running around in :P.

its actually b18c7
for the aussie model itr model
just for future reference

I think a the first rule when buying a second car should be the question asked;
"Any accident history?"

[string]

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....

The oil and water pumps are the same. Infact after '96, all B-series motors shared the same oil pump. The Type-R head is where the money is at: lightweight valves, big valve springs and of course, big cams.

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

It is, there is deburring of the crank, different rods, along with a few other things...

[hotdc2]

well maybe it has ITR internals?



just maybe..
he might be lucky enough

I was looking for a type R before hand,
and notice a Type R shell but with b18C2XXXXX as engine number
however it was short of one character from the normal length for engine number.
I soon realise the guy had a b18c (jap spec) with reciepts to prove it.
mayb that could be the same case for you.

But anyway i didnt end up getting that car.

hope that helps for OP

Here is a link that kinda show what im talking about (look at 1st and 2nd photo): http://www.tokyomotorimports.com/eng...ITR%2098+.html

Not entirely true i remember seeing a thread somewere , when pulled apart the ITR pumps contain stronger materials although they share the same design.

ah...mine has 7 numbers after the 'c'. i looked up a vti-r and it has 8 numbers after the c.... also, can anyone give me a bit more info on how to check whether my transmission is itr or not.

[nickasse]

yeh sorry to dig this up again lol but here's where i'm at now:
My engine code is b18c2xxxxxx (7 numbers after c) as oposed to b18c2xxxxxxx (8 numbers after c)
I looked at a gear ratio calculator, went out for a drive, and found that i've got the same gearing as an itr gearbox with a 4.4 final drive.

is it possible i've got a 96 jdm itr engine...because that's what i think i have now.
