i just got my type r engine today. while the engine is out, should i do anything to it? i was thinking of putting in some jun or toda cams. what should i do before i put it in???

 

Why the hell not.... JUN baby!!!!!

*flamesuit*

nice, yes put some cams up in there and sell the ITR cams

since you are asking i would just ASSUME u don't know much, i'd have a pro install those cams for you heh

btw where did u order the motor from?

 

congrats!

i would def say clutch/fly, while she's out

 

i don't know too much about type r's, just their specs. i mostly researched on LS's cause i was going to boost my LS. but i just couldn't help it, i had to get the b18c5. i bought it from hondamotorsonline.com

 

are there different JUN's, if so which ones should i get?

 

clutch, flywheel and maybe a 4.785 final drive. Give it a good cleaning to! I cant wait till i get mine... one of these days.

You could always pull the head off and inspect everything, make sure u dont have any bent valves or bad pistons. While ur at it throw in some CTR pistons and new rings.

If it's a JDM B18C SpecR motor with tranny then it already has a 4.785 FD.

 

Only if it's a 98-up...

 

its jdm so lose the "5" at the end ... while she's out replace the timing belt as well.

 

yeah its a jdm b18c5, the guy i talked to said it was a 98'

 

timing belt and clutch/pressure plate, oh yeah the flywheel too

 

True.

 

Technically it's a JDM B18C SpecR. Not a B18C5.

 

check to see if your tranny is a jdm one.. dunno how.. at least check that it has a ITR differential in it. If you can see through the diff without any probs.. then its an lsd..

 

How many miles on it? I bought my GSR swap @ 61k miles. I changed my water pump and timing belt for the heck of it since it was easy to get to.

Just drop it in. Test it out and see how it runs. If all is well...then start modding.

 

higher CR

 

definitely some cams like Toda A's

 

whoa, how long did it take??

 

BTW, what was the pre 98 JDM R's FD?

 

I believe 4.4

 

1. jdm ITR motor is not a b18c5. its just b18c. if your block says b18c5, then you got ripped.
2. 98+ spec jdm ITR motors come with a 4-1 header opposed to the 95.5-97 4-2-1.
3. 98+ spec jdm ITR motors also USUALLY come with the carbon kevlar spark plug wire cover.
4. 98+ spec JDM ITR comes with a 4.785 FD opposed to the 4.4 FD
5. check the head stamp above the header to check what year it is.
6. you can also find out by the number under the "b18c".

 

Incorrect.

98+ JDM ITR spark plug covers have the same faux c/f pattern as the interior trim pieces.

 

whooops. thats the word i was looking for.

carbon kevlar = spoon

 

it has less than 19k miles
