Default what is the code for the 98 jap type-r

Hi i need to know the engine code for the 98 japaneese type r.
Also im thinking about buying a (US) 98 type r motor but the guy said that the pistons were changed to 98 japan type-r. Is this a good thing or not.
Please help.

I believe the engine stamp code is simply B18C for the JDM right? The USDM is B18C5. If the motor you are purchasing has JDM R pistons, it should have roughly .5 /point more compression. This can definitely be a good thing for an all motor application. If you want to go higher or lower, you can change your head gasket or use a B16 head (more chamber volume). Good luck HTH.

Yes, just B18C.

The only way to tell is to open the head, and look at the pistons and cams .....

There is a difference between 96 and 98 spec, with 98 being a slight improvement over 96.
