I am having a B18C put into my civic. Is there a way to physically identify the different B series engines. Living in Thailand, the engine is being sent to the shop tomorrow. I know this one is not a Type R but should be a standard B18C (180hp?). What should I be looking for to identify the B18C for sure, and any recommendations I should throw at the mechanics besides compression check, new clutch etc.

appreciate you throwing your thread within one minute of my post, but how do you identify a B18C from a different B series?

I am not the mechanics putting this motor in and not concerned with the install details, just wanted to make sure tomorrow when the motor arrives it is in fact a B18C.

 

Im not going to answer any more ?'s You can search the FAQ thread at the top of this forum.. cause u can be told the right answer and then come back with another one.. Just go through the FAQ thread and Read and read and Read so that You Learn

 

if you look on the block of the motor, where the motor meets the transmition in the front, there is a stamp on it, a flat piece of metal that sticks out of the block a bit. It should be stamped with numbers, and it should say "b18c"

 

yes, but if the motor is from JAPAN, B18C can either mean GSR or Type-R

 

my b18c has a p72 stamp on the back of the block right next to the tranny.
itr block is p73.

Type R= Single stage manifold
GSR= Dual Stage manifold

 

look at the intake manifold
