IM NEW TO THIS WEBSITE AND I GOT SOME QUESTIONS FIRST I GOT A 95 GSR AND IT SAYS B18C5 ON THE MOTOR SO WHAT IM ASKING IS IS IT A GSR MOTOR BECAUSE I KNOW A B18C1 IS BUT MY FRIEND SAYS DATS A TYPE -R MOTOR BUT I DONT KNOW A HUNDRED PERCENT I NEED HELP.HE SAID IF IT DOES SAT DAT I MAY IN FACT HAVE A TYPE-R MOTOR OR I MIGHT JUST HAVE THE BLOCK.BUT THE TRICK IS IT HAS A BLACK VALVE COVER,NOT RED.

 

if the block is stamped B18C5...then thats a type r....if its stamped B18C1...then its a gsr
do you have any pics??

 

VC wouldnt matter that much, for anyreason the orginal owner could have changed it.

You could look at the intake manifold too. If it curls its a gsr.... Maybe you have a typeR block with a gsr head?
