B18c Engine Question

[1SLIKTEG]

Hello, Im New To This Site I Just Registered. I Have A 2000 Gs Integra With A B18c Swap And Ls Tranny. I Have A General Question, Im Not Sure If I Have The Sir B18c Or The Type R B18c, How Do You Tell? One Has 178 Hp And Other Has 200hp, Id Definately Like To Know. Thanks

look to the left of the exhaust manifold, should be a little plate attached to the engine, or an imprint, I can't remenber which that has the engine code..
b18c1 = GSR engines, b18c5 = Type-R engine (note: you'll see ppl say ITR a lot, that'd be a type-r, so you're less confused.)

there's the off chance that it's a japanese crated engine, which, if someone can correct me if i'm wrong, doesn't tell the difference between the 2 engines on the code... there may be a way I don't personally know of, or run it on a dyno and find out what's going on.

p.s. welcome to HAN

if it has a ls tranny im gonna guess its a gsr motor. but ninj4r is pretty much right

I kept my original Tranny, Just Got The Engine, So Im Still Not Sure Whether It's A Type R Or Sir But I Guess The Only Way To Tell Is To Dyno It

Hi, welcome to board.

Please turn off your CAPS LOCK.

Thank you.

check the head cast to see if it says p72. p72=gsr p73=type r. or the gsr intake manifold is a dead giveaway

[sherwood]

yeah, you check the cast, if it's
p72 it's a gsr
pr3 it's a type-r

[aboobybobpleez]

yea pr3 excuse me

[1SLIKTEG]

thanks guys ,its a gs-r then so that means 178hp or what?

[AcuraFanatic]

USDM GS-R is 170HP.

[1SLIKTEG]

But I Have A Jdm B18c Swap

[AcuraFanatic]

But I Have A Jdm B18c Swap

got my teg on the dyno last night, max was 145hp to the wheel with 109 lb torque, thats depressing, the guy there told me i needed bigger cams, any suggestions, crower, comp, oem type-r?

[sherwood]

gsr cams are nice.

145 hp to the wheels is about on for a usdm gsr... not sure about the jdm p72 tho

if you want more power find a turbokit, cams and everything will end up costing you more for the same ammount of poer or less and wont be as upgradeable.

[1SLIKTEG]

couldnt i do bigger cams and a turbo. so your saying i should be getting more hp to the wheel out of my jdm b18c?

[tegbooster]

if you truely have a JDM b18c, yes, but not more than 10-15 more hp, it's basically negligable (sp?), larger cams will give too much overlap for the engine to run efficiently with the turbo. CTR cams would work great if you were to turbo, but generally something like cams rarely get touched on a turbo engine... just the way it is
