Well if the motor is stamped "B18C" then the block is defintely a JDM R motor.

If it is C1, or C5, then it is a GSR or USDM R, respectively.

I really don't know the distinctive differences between a B16A2 intake manifold or an ITR manifold so I couldn't help ya out, sorry

 

it may have been a JDM ITR motor, or just that, a GSR block with B16 head. look for a PR3 stamp on the head, and look for the P72 stamp on the block.

 

please tell me what to look for to tell if its a real r motor or not

 

where are these stamps?

 

You know the block is a jdm 1.8,look on the head above the exhaust manafold to identify what the #'s are on the head.

 

the head id code was pr3-4 an it had a y21 tranny now what parts does this motor have

thanks

There's a stamp near the distibutor I think. Also on the front side of the head. ITR is P73 I think.
