I wasn't completely sure on this issue..but isn't the JDM Type R block code B18C...which is also the same as the JDM GSR? I've also seen the code b18CR as well...can someone help distinguish the motors with their codes?

JDM Type R and GSR are both B18C the only way to distguish the two is by the head, tranny, intake, and exhaust.

and the bling bling valve cover.

 

so where does the b18cR come from?

Khoi

 

never seen a block that said b18cr. might be a custom job. I don't believe any honda motors came that way.

 

I've seen a few..but i am assuming that the b18CR was only for european or austrailian Rs.....can anyone shed some more light on this?

No such motor came with the stamp b18cr - that is just slang.

i agree with B2.. i've never seen a block with a "B18CR" on it.

when people on honda-tech or anywhere else say "B18CR".. they are just refering to the JDM ITR motor since a simple "B18C" is not as specific.

Exactly. B18C-R is just a way to verbally distinguish between the ITR and SiVtec/SiR-G.

Pistons and crank can tell you what motor it is if you just have the block. But require a little effort.

 

yup...there are distinctions between chassis though.
