there were 2 type r motors:

b18c5 Integra Type R
b16b Civic Type R

The Civic Type R wasnt avail USDM (I dont believe) but the Integra Type R was a tuned down version. I have that engine block dropped in my car with a GSR head. The compression is a bit higher than the average b18 because of that. It's bucks basically but there are no Eclipse Type R's or any of that shit. They're just shithead ricers.

The Integra Type-R's frame itself is different than all other Integras. You literally cannot make another car into a type-R.
