Re: Soooo, is it JDM or not?
The block code for starters.
If it's jdm, it will have any numbers after the last letter of the block code designation.
For example: the USDM LS motor will say B18B1, whereas the JDM LS motor will simply say B18B.
Another example: the USDM GSR motor says B18C1, and the JDM GSR says B18C.
If it's JDM, it'll be harder to trace back to see if it's stolen/legit, seeing as the only traceable part will be the block's serial number (the number below the block code designation) on the front of motor where it bolts to the transmission.
If it's USDM and newer than 1995, it should have a VIN plate on it, that can be ran online, at your local precient/auto crime, or carfax'd.
Regardless of origin, I hope you got a receipt or bill of sale from the seller, in any case.
If you want help identifying whether you have a JDM or USDM transmission, just let me know and I'll advise you on that as well.

But generally speaking, and for the OP's purpose, it's going to be B18B for JDM or B18B1 or whatever.

Re: Soooo, is it JDM or not?
I was pm'ing an h-tech member that lives in japan supposedly.
He said there are no JDM b18b's. He said integras over there are b18c1,b18c5, or sohc
I really doubted this but he assured and reasurred me.

Doesn't have to be from an integra to be JDM. Not sure exactly what year integras (I think 93+) but just as an example I do know that the B18B came in certain year Honda Domani's. Kind of an accord looking civic. So they did have the B18B in jdm cars.

Re: Soooo, is it JDM or not?
His screen name is "What."
The word What with a capital letter W and a period after the word
And he swore to me that there were NO jdm b18b's
It sounds kinda silly that japan gets all the cool engines/cars; but their integras have d15b's

Im not quiet sure where the engine originally came from. Here in america the b18b1 are from the integra rs/ls/gs models. However, the fact that the block is stamped b18b without any numbers after it clearly means that it came from japan. You can search and figure out exactly where the engine came out from.

also the fact that he says the integras over there (meaning in japan) has b18c1, b18c5 motors.. common now.. you would know that those are usdm motors having the numbers at the end. If he knew anything he would have at least said that the integras over there only comes with b18c motors.
