Through the engine code, is there a way to know what the engine is for sure.

I got an engine and was told it's a JDM type R engine directly from Japan.

I have the engine code, of B18C stamped on the motor.

This is the motor, any info would be appreciated

 

b18c could also mean it is a jdm gsr (sir) swap. The easiest way to tell is to look at the intake manifold.

 

This is a pic of the engine, what do you think?

Btw, this is going into a 1997 civic 4 door. The outside of the car looks bone stock so my thinking is that i'll have a sleeper setup which should be rather fun to say the least :naughty:

 

Looks like it to me. I have the same thing.

 

Cool, now to get it into the car, which should be sometime next week. I can't wait

I have that with the LSD tranny that came attached to it and a short through shifter, should be fun

Btw, i got it for 4500$ canadian installed, that a good price or about normal?

Thanks for the info :thumbup:

 

that's a pretty good price

 

That's so low I'd be a bit concerned about owning a stolen motor. :uhhok:

 

thats a very good price....did it come with ECU, shift linkage and axles?

 

Why 2 posts about the EXACT same thing? :dunno:

Reason for the low price is because there was a mixup in my order, i had ordered a GSR engine and the guy sold it. I kinda got to "discussing" the problem and he ended up giving me a type R that i saw arrive the same day for the price of the GSR :naughty:

As for stollen, i was woried about that too so i did some research through a budy i have that works for a honda dealer near here. Got info though the engine code from him and as far as he can tell it does come from japan and is not stollen :thumbup:

It came with everything since that was the kit i had ordered, he just changed it over to the type r kit instead of a GSR kit. Was a "good customer relations" kinda thing

About the 2 posts, not sure how that happened???
