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

Don't want to state the obvious, but have you checked the engine code stamped on the block? Or did you just rely on the engine code from the VIN check?
The block will say B18C2 (VTIR), B18C7 (AUDM Type R) or B18C (JDM VTIR or Type R). That will be your definitive answer and not having to guess if you have 7 or 8 digits and who is right or wrong. Look at the area circled in the pic below:

ai i checked the engine block when i first made the thread. had the same numbers as the vin
i'll check it again tommorow though
anyone give me a way to be 100% sure as to whether i have an lsd or not...because i heard that the boosting it up and spinning the wheels method won't work on itr cos of the hydraulic lsd or something...and are the wheels meant to spin the same or opposite ways if you HAVE an lsd?

The first row printed on the engine block. What does it say? It should say either B18C2, B18C7 or B18C. Which one is it?

This man know what his saying lol

please check it.

But so far the information you have said it seem very likely (definately to me anyway) you have a JDM ITR engine.

just post sum photos up....

**nickasse** · 22-11-2009 11:31 AM

ai guys. It says B18C
then underneath XXXXXXX (i don't have the car with me atm, which is why i said i'd check the block tomorrow just to double check it's same as vin (which it is) and also why i can't take pictures.)
I reckon it comes down to the gearbox...i mean if it's itr, and therefore have an lsd, there's no way the guy:
1. blew his engine
2. bought a jdm integra type r transmission (cos i know my ratio is 4.4 final drive)
3. bought a jdm SIR-G block
4. bought a jdm/audm integra type r/civic head
and threw it all together. it's too much effort for too much stupidity.
