Just got my engine in JDM ITR B18C. Just wondering how i would be able to tell if it was 98+ spec? Because I belive the 98+ came with CTR cams. Thanks

 

you don't know what you purchased?

why would an ITR motor come with CTR cams?

 

The 98+ ITR motors came with the JDM 4-1 2.5" Collector Header.

The 96-97 ITR Motors have a 2 piece 4-2-1 Header.

Unless the importer switched the header, that should give you a good indication.

 

The header that is on it right now looks like the Spoon 4-2-1. Would the header be a 4-2-1 1 peice or a 4-2-1 2 peice.
The one on there looks like this exactly

 

With the 2 Peice like this

You could have asked your seller what year the car was before you bought it.

Check the stamp on the head. Right above the headers, a bunch of circles and see what year the head is.

There's no guarantee since heads could have been swapped.

Generally, if you got a header like that, it would be something found normally on a 96spec motor....

By asking a question you already know the answer to. Further elaborate on what "EMO" is and how ive expressed the aspects of it? You can ask away as long as it's helpful.

The seller was a local Private car shop and unfortunately he moved 1 week after i recived the motor. I was out of town that week and was not able to get in contact with him upon delivery . Will do the head check thanks .

well now...it doesn't take a genious to tell that you bought a motor
my question is: when you handed the money over, what did you think you were paying for? a 96 spec or a 98 spec?

with an oem 4-2-1 header, it's a 96-97 and the way you put it, you have a 4-2-1 header. i don't think you've found a conclusion because the receipt cannot be trusted if it's inconsistent with what you are seeing.

4-2-1 should be a 2 piece....well most that I've seen. Though I did see a kid that had his 2 pieces welded ( I don't know why so dont asl ) to make it look like one

Was this out of a US car I'm assuming? What color?

 

It is possible you have an aftermarket header if it looks IDENTICAL to the one you posted.

With the heat shield off and JDM 4-2-1 should look like this




(Yours wouldn't be black though, probably rust)

The stamp on the head is a good indicator for the year.

It comes with a CTR intake cam. They have "carbon" plug covers too, but of course that could easily have been put on.

you are telling me an ITR motor comes with a CTR cam?
an itr motor comes with itr cams, a ctr motor comes with ctr cams
how hard a concept is that?

what has a carbon plug cover? the thread starter hasn't even told us if its USDM or JDM

96 Spec JDM ITR B18C = ITR cams
97-98 USDM ITR B18C5 = ITR cams
98 Spec JDM ITR B18C = CTR cams
00-01 USDM ITR B18C5 = "CTR" cams (very similar profile)

ITR and CTR exhaust cams are the same. As was already stated the 98 Spec B18C's have CTR intake cams, giving them "CTR cams".

98 Spec B18C's have a fake carbon plug cover. The pattern on the "carbon" plug cover, matches the "carbon" interior trim.

Also if you have a two piece header, you probably have a 96 Spec engine.

 

i know the 98 spec ITR cams are the same as the CTR cams...
i know the 98 spec JDM motor has the fake carbon fiber cover...

nevermind...something was lost in translation
