hey guys i bought a 1995 civic hb with a b18c gsr engine now the engine is really strong and ive noticed that the gsr engine covers are black welll mine is red i dont know what's the difference in the black and red ones but i read that the red cover is for the type r?
the engine says on it b18c.
does anyone know how i can check what type of engine i got?
thanks alot guys

 

if you were told its a GSR then its probably just a GSR valve cover painted red.

 

oh i c bec i wanna redue the engine all over bec it smokes and i wanted to know what kind it was that way i can get the right pistons and valves and everything.

 

If it just says B18C and not B18C1, then it's a JDM GSR engine. The USDM GSR engine code is B18C1.

You're saying you have the B18C, eh?

 

yep just a b18c that's better though na?
they say the japs make them meaner
by the way i saw this kit on ebay it's a valve train kit and it's 599$ they say ure engine can rev up to 11k rpm like nothing well the question is if i wanna put a turbo in the car what will i need to change in the engine?

 

another way u can tell is the IM

 

could just be a type r valve cover on your GSR head. as for the ebay stuff..what company is the product made by? its probably crap and revving your motor w/o other mods to 11k will surely blow it up. as for your turbo question. go spend a few days of reading in the Forced Induction Forum.

 

you are wondering if it's the b18c SIR-G or the b18c ITR motor. look at the top left of the head in between and to the left of the distributor and vtec solenoid. if it is the SIR-G it will say p72, if it is the ITR it will say p73

The ITR heads are stamped PR3. Not P73. Its is the same casting as the b16.

 

not quite, its the same spec as PR3, not the same cast.

Do NOT buy any Ebay "kits".

Post the link to that valvetrain kit you saw on ebay. If it's from a reputable company it could be ok.
