if its a USDM itll have 5 numbers/letters... i.e. H22A4.. thats USDM.. and the JDM is H22A... or in your case... if its B18C1 its USDM or if its B18C its JDM..

Also check the head because in the u.s.,it will say p72-1 and the jdm one say p72-2 stamped on the head by the year of it.

This head is on my spare motor, I pulled this B18C1 motor out of a USDM 4dr GSR that was owned by the original owner who did an H22 swap.


Some B17A1 heads say PR3-1, some say PR3-2, I've seen both.


Edit: Also note the year of the head 94 which is stamped above the exhaust ports.

you could also check the head, between the vtec sol, and the distro by the valve cover, ie(pr3, 72, p72) something along those lines
