I just took delivery of a 2001 JDM ITR B18C-R motor. The head is stamped 00. I was expecting it to have 4-1 header on it. But it had a 4-2-1. The delivery guy didn't know anything about it. Did they do the ol' switcheroo on me? Or did some 2001s come with a 4-2-1?

 

my 2000 jdm itr motor came with the 4-1, i think it was switched out

They all came with 4-1 headers. Did you also get a faux cf spark plug cover with that? Also check your tranny if it has the 4.875 FD.

 

They screwed you.... or are trying to at least.

 

It didn't come with a faux CF valve cover either. Time to kick some ***. What esle should I be looking for?

 

CF valve cover?

Never had one... or atleast all of us didn't.

Who did your order from?

 

I got it from an importer I met on ebay. He's been doing business there for some time now. I don't think he realizes what happened. Sent him an email and am going to call him today.

4.785 FD Tranny + LSD... just so he doesn't go ballistic that he didn't get the right tranny either...

 

CF spark plug cover

Alot of importers just take it off and sell it later.

If its a 98+ itr swap then it should have come with the 4-1 or something nicer aftermarket. I bet it was bought with a nicer header on it, they just swapped another header on to keep the upgrade.

 

There is no such thing as a 2001 jdm R motor. In 2001 the DC5 was in production. The newest would be 2000.

It sounds like either he switched it out, or you got a euro motor. The euro came with a non cast 4-2-1 design different from usdm and jdm.
