it should be stamped B18C if it is a JDM Integra Type R motor or B18C5 for USDM Integra Type R motor.

JDM motors do not have a number behind the letter
B18C1 USDM GSR
B18C5 USDM ITR
B18C JDM sir or itr(notice both have the same B18C code)
As far as the ITR, head code and Intake manifold are usually dead give aways, but they can easily have been swapped.

The kids you talk to are idiots. If the block is stamped B18C, it's JDM. The head may not be however. But for all intents and purposes, you have a JDM motor.
