Hey guys I just bought a 01 ITR motor. And I don't know if it's a real type r. I just bought it from a guy. And when I was looking at the front side of the block it's stamped B18c5 and it has a 01 PR3-3 head and I know that there's no 01 B16 head so it got to be a type r head so I bought it. And when I got home and looked at the back side of the block it said P72! So what does that mean? Is it a real type r motor or is it a GSR?

 

really?

its legit. those are all casting numbers...

it says "B18C5"? its a Type R motor. done. end thread. research before buying a motor next time...

 

x2 on above

research before you buy. also, run the vin if there is one on the motor. usdm type r engines that have been stolen get moved around the craigslist market a lot

 

^ yup research.
