just bought a 2000 jdm type r and im wondering what the serial number on the jdm type r are.

i know theer are numbers that start with a
3,xxx,xxx or
5,xxx,xxx

mine starts with a 8
is this a gsr or type r?

 

Only the JDM Type R-x got a serial number, 98specs had a plaque that had just ITR 98spec on it and 96spec ITRs didnt have any plaque at all. The number is the production number and i dont think it signifies a year in any way.

 

Which serial # are you asking about? Chassis? engine block? Badge?

 

im talking about the serial numbers on the block below where it says b18c
i was told theat the 96 spec numbers start like so
2,xxx,xxx
the 98 spec are
3,xxx,xxx
but i was also told but a bot so good source the there was one more in 98 spec that the engine came with more hp (220) and the compression was 11.5:1 instead of the 11.0:1
and these numbers start as so
8,xxx,xxx
can anyone conferm this?

umm no..the 96 specs do have a plaque with the serial #...mine came with it..which matches the one on firewall..

 

did any jdm Type r engines come with 220 HP?

 

the dc5 type r's came with 220hp, no dc2's did, and i belive the only way to tell a gsr aka sir-g short block from a itr are the crank/rods/pistons

 

well i was told by was woed that a few dc2 itr did come with a 220 hp

There is no such thing,no dc2 came out from the factory w/ a 220 hp. Only the dc5 as stated above
