what's the difference? I just ordered a JDM GSR motor but it says B18C on it. My friend has a GSR motor and it says B18C1 on it. I looked it up online and it says that B18C is "Acura Integra SiR (JDM) 1995-1997". I'm confused. Anyways how much HP is SiR and is GSR faster? I hope it's a GSR otherwise I might have to return it!! : ( . I think they might've messed up my order.

 

if the block is stamped with B18C, then it is the japanese engine from the 95-00 SiR-G integras. It's rated at 176HP @ 7600rpms and 129 lbs-ft @6200. It has the same 8100 redline, and a compression ratio of 10.6

If it's a japanese motor, you could probably assume it has somewhere around 40K miles on it, or more. I believe that's the mileage at which they have to be replaced. You should call the company you ordered from if you have alot of questions though.

 

which is faster or better? or is it just the same. Because one of it is 180 HP and the other is 170HP isn't it? I would call the company but NaganoJapanese has these arab guys working there and I've been talking to them but it seems like they don't know that much. Plus it's kinda hard to understand with their accent and stuff. So I'm just trying to figure what what motor I got because originally I asked for a GSR B18C1. Is it worth returning for a GSR B18C1? If you can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

BTW I just checked another site and it says "B18C Spec R Honda Integra Type R 1997-2001"

i may be wrong

b18cr - jdm type r
b18c1 - usdm gsr
b18c5 - usdm type r

 

B18c1 is a usdm motor

 

dont complain that you have a jdm gsr motor.....and dont get rid of it for a usdm one....keep it.....its better

 

oh no I'm NOT complaining, I'm just tryna figure out what I got so that I know. I got it for $2700. Complete motor and everything.

The only JDM TYPE R comes with red valve cover correct? ONLY TYPE R has red cover right? Mine's black so I think it's a SiR-G. Am I right? I dunno, I'm just using logic I guess.

ok now I just found another site that says SiR-G = GSR

http://eireann.org/integra/specs.html

still a little confused....

that's funny... that doesn't exist.

 

the j-spec gsr motor has a higher compression. you will be much happier with the way the jdm gsr performs.

lol i was just about to post about that, but you beat me to it.


jdm gsr = b18c (but everything is stamped p72)
jdm itr = b18c (but everything is stamped p73)
usdm gsr = b18c1
usdm itr = b18c5
australian gsr = b18c3 (i think)
australian itr = b18c6 (i think)

 

I think that's a typo. He probably meant to type the number 5 and not the letter r. Anyways...what do you mean everything is stamped P72? where do i find that?...I'd be even more happy if it's actually stamped p73 lol.

 

i think if the code ends in a number its USDM

 

When you get it, just look at the intake manifold. 99% chance your getting a GSR motor.

 

if the intake manifold bends down then it's Type R if it bends up it's SiR-G/GSR right?....common sense. Thought of that by lookin' at pictures online lol.

I believe you will find that somewhere on the head.

 

if it says b18c only than its jdm .. the usdm is either c1 or c5 .. if it has a red valve cover than most likely its type r if black then its a gsr .. the intake manifold of a type r looks similiar to the ls's and the gsr's is the opposite .. so since u have a black valve cover with the words b18c on the block .. i think its a jdm gsr motor .. the jdm compared to the usdm gsr is better because of higher compression .. etc so u ll be happier wit the jdm ..
jdm gsr 180 hp 129 tq
usdm gsr 170 hp 126 tq

 

jdm motors dont have the numerica stamp at the end (b16a b18a, b18c)
usdm motors were stamped more specific and have a number at the end of the engine coad(b18c1 b18c5, b16a1 b16a2 b16a3)

both the jdm gsr and itr motors have the same stamp b18c
all jdm b16a motors were just stamped b16a including both the older160 version and the newer 170hp one

you can tell you have a gsr motor by the duel stage intake manifold, the black valve cover, and the p-72 stamped on the head

a jdm itr motor has a red valve cover, single stage intake manifold, and pr3 stamped head

there no way to really tell if you have a gsr or itr bottom end unless you open the engine

That's true. My block says B18B... minus the 1 that the USDM versions have.

 

I agree with him ^^^

And I too agree with Charlie... which is that guy ^^

 

with the b18cr thats just how i thought it was always discerned... cause b18c could be itr and b18c could be sir-g. so everywhere id read it was always written b18cR to avoid confusion

 

''B18C(R)'' i dont think that exists its just slang or another way of saying its a B18 type R engine, ''B18CR'' kinda cought on to us, i serously dont think its a actual engine code its either B18C B18C5 and 6 for EDM, i dunno maybe more but i have noticed in other countries theres a number at the end to since,i visit europe alot i guess all jdm engines dont have a number. ALSO, you could tell if its ITR bottom end, (maybe not in your case), if you have the vin code on the block you know next to the eengine code jhmdc(32) i think is the number for ITR correct me if im all wrong

 

Ok I wanna go all motor, I'm thinking about gettin' little stuff first. Like AEM CAI, Headers, Radiator and things like that.

which is better? ITR Camshaft, CTR camshaft or Skunk2 Stage II Camshaft? They all fit JDM GSR right? I'm also thinkin' about gettin' it port/polished and get a Blox IM. I already got GReddy Sp2 exhaust system.

oh BTW which type of gasoline should I use? gas is really expensive, I just use 87 for all of my cars. If I use 87, will that make my B18C slower?

Also, what's the stock GSR time for the 1/4? Just curious.

 

the answer to all your questions and be easly found by searching.

there are tons and tons of threads about them

 

whoa whoa whoa there.... honda recommends 91 oct. for the gsr. the b18c runs a farely hi compression soooo.... if you wanna make any kinda of power don't use the squirel ****.
