It's already been explained. In Japan that don't have the "2" suffix, so it's just B18C for both Type-R and SiR (SiR = VTi-R in Australia).

Therefore his motor is a 132kw B18C out of a JDM Integra SiR

if he didnt state the engine number, then why did you assume its a c2?

the OP was 'told' it was a jdm b18c and people are trying to tell him its a b18c2 thinking B18C is only the type r motor. its obviously a VTiR/SiR motor.

IMO you deserve the neg point..... IMO

it's definitely a JDM B18C with 132.39 KW. The stamp says B18C. It was imported from japan as far as i know from what the dealer told me.

Did the headlight conversion today.

Before:

After:

Just need to adjust the headlight angle now. It's pointing upwards instead of down.

Nice one.Can you take a pic without reflection,kinda hard to see

ps. I want to smash those sidemirrors with a rolling pin justsayin

**FAITHLESS** · 23-02-2012 09:47 PM

yep i'll wait till daylight tomorrow.

i totally sympathise dude. i'm considering just repainting them black, carbon fibre spoon side mirrors, or just cheap black stockies.
2 things make me furious every time i look at this car. the wheels and the mirrors.

this being because i checked the spark plugs and they are fairly black. could possibly be running a bit rich but could also be worn valve guides, worn rings or bottom end damage

considering doing a full rebuild :S
on the bright side it might be a good chance to install aftermarket cams, valve springs and forged pistons

spark plug looks perfect to me.
