USDM Type R blocks have B18C5 stamped on it, not B18C.

 

this block is not usdm
it is jdm it says b18c under it the cod is 2000068

 

are u sure that is all it says?

 

mmm k here is exactly how it is typed on the block

B18C
2000068

 

I would buy from a guy who doesn't even kno what it is......

 

Is it the whole motor or just the block?

 

just the block... the only reason he doesnt know what it is is he runs a shop and a piston was blown on it... so when the guy replaced the block the owner told him to keep the block.

 

GSR and ITR blocks are identical. The pistons, crank, and block brace are not. If you are buying a short block, the ITR will have domed pistons and the GSR will have flat pistons.

Agreed, I have a B18C in my car ( i have the GS-R motor) and that's the only way to tell with the shortblock.

 

if he doesnt know...give him less than what a gsr block is worth...
