im in the process of picking up a b18c5 and i was wondering if it is a jdm c5 or a usdm c5. but i dont know how to tell the differnence, can some one help me out?

the reason i am concerned is for emmision purposes
thanks in advance!

 

the JDM ITR motors are just B18C, EDM are B18c6 and usdm are B18c5 staped on the block

 

B18C5 - 97+ US Type-R
B18C3 - 97-98 EURO Type-R
B18C6 - 99+ EURO Type-R
B18C7 - Australian Type-R
B18C - 96+ JDM Type-R


On JDM B18C, look for the B16 styled intake manifold, PR3 stamped on head and P73 stamped on the back of the block. All ITRs have red valve covers, but don't make your decision based solely on the color of the valve cover.

 

THANKS GUYS IT is a b18c5
yay lol

 

Sorry, don't mean to jack your thread because I don't wanna start another one but, how can you tell the difference between a JDM ITR with a 4.4 final drive, and JDM ITR with a 4.785 FD. i know alot of places will list the different ITR motors seperatly, but as the buyer how would I tell the difference by looking at the motor. I don't plan on buying one now, but always wondered how to tell the difference.

 

I suppose you could take off the casing and count the teeth.

I burn up clutches and transmissions so often that I never really cared to look at the differences, I just know that if i'm doing a canyon run and i'm in second gear the whole time, some ******* ripped me off and sent me an LS gearset (its happened twice before).

It says LSD on both versions, however one is designated 4.4 and the other 4.7, but I can't remember the exact markings.
