My roommate just got in his jdm itr swap today. How can you tell if its a real ITR block? It deff has a jdm header, itr manifold, lsd tranny, but its susposed to be a 99-00 and it doesn't have a crank angle sensor either. What can I look for to tell exactlly what we have here?

 

does it say just "B18C" on the block? is there P73 stamped on the head? does it have an oil cooler?

 

ITR block=B18C5.
GSR block=B18C1.
ITR head stamped PR3-3 for 97-98, PR3-4 for 2000-01.ITR head also has a P73 sticker.But stickers can come off.
GSR head stamped P72.

He said JDM, so there will be no "5" for B18C5 even if it's a Type R motor.

Yeah, check and see if it has the following:

B18C block
PR3 head
S80 tranny with LSD stamp - better yet look through the diff for NO pin
Red Valvecover with the "H" logo !
Short, fat runners on the single runner intake manifold - looks just like Skunk2
Throttle cable stay should have "P73" stamped on it
JDM 4-1 Honda header
NO VTEC oil pressure switch - JDM Type R didn't have one. Why? I don't know...

That's off the top of my head. Also check the year on the head by using Trey's suggestion.

 

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Thanks homie!

 

LOL I was waiting for some chump to get pissed at ya! what a doofus......
you are RIGHT

Use this too to verify the head.....
