I was wondering where the vin numbers on a b18c5s are? the one on the tranny is gone on mine and i was wondering where eles it was. I just got the motor and was wondering if it was hot....

 

There should be one on the front of the engine down by the oil pan.

 

Under the header just above the oil pan. Mounted in the aluminum.

Will

 

Where did you get the motor from? I'm sure we can tell you if it's hot or not.

 

Here ya go..should be right there

 

That one's hot.

So's your avatar.

well i got the motor from a friend of mine and i know he wont rip me but im not sure if he got ripped. The seller claims the motor is from canada and it has like very low miles (2000km) and its canadian. The motor is running very smooth and i love it just hope its not HOT....thanks for the info guys im new to this site and id have to say its TIGHT

 

Was your engine a 98? I have a canadian ITR 1998 and I don't have a tranny VIN either. A buddy of mine has a 98 GS and it doesn't have one either. Maybe the tranny VIN didn't come into effect until 1999 on Canadian Integras...can anybody confirm this?

 

Just FYI people, the block serial cannot be traced through an Acura or Honda dealership.

I realize you're talking about the green tag.. but the STAMPED one below B18C5 is not traceable from me.

I've had a few phone calls from people asking me to try and run a block number (no, i will not mention names).. but the only way I THINK that number can be traced is through American Honda or talking to John Q. Law.

 

Yea somehow it is traceable, Locash said you just have to know how and thru who

 

the transmission in my 95 didnt have a VIN # i dont recall...but i bought a used '98 and it did have one....my tranny isnt hot, thank god i was very worried about that, but the place is reputable...but some reputable places have been had by theives selling them motors and they resell them and get in trouble...Jerome Soh comes to mind...

...Eddie Bello got busted for being a thief....rofl, i remember reading that...haha, piles of ecstasy pills and all kinds of stolen porsche parts and engines found in his shop....

 

VINs did not apear on transmissions until 1996+...same with blocks I believe

 

Too bad not all the trannies even come with the VIN plates anyways.

My friend just bought a BRAND NEW ITR tranny from the dealer and it has NO VIN plate. Why? Because it's new and it was never in a car until now.

 

well my motor is a 2001 so to say the reason why i ask is because i want to take it to the ref and i was wondering if this would be a problem. that car sticker just seems so tempting.......ill go out and check if the vin is on the block thanks again guys

 

i heard that if a tranny is remanufactured, the VIN plate is taken off, thats my guess on what happened to mine b/c mine has no VIN plate but you can see where it used to be. Its a 99 JDM SiR II Motor. The head says "99" on it, and its just "B16A" on the block which says its a JDM motor b/c US motors are B16A2 or B16A3.

 

Is it possible to get replacement tranny vin's? Probably not...I'm thinking.

 

you know the number below the "b16" stamp, can they trace the motor or find out if the motor is stolen from that number?

 

The new trannies have the holes w/ no VIN tag.. but the holes aren't threaded to accept a bolt. They are fresh holes.

 

Well if you buy a tranny from Honda brand new there wont be a vin# cause they dont have the vin# of the car to put it on. I dont know about the motors but im sure it is the same way.
