Going to pick one up saturday off benbuilt4u.I know there is numbers in the head that mean its a c5.Anyone know what they are?And is theblcok going to say b18c or b18c5.And what should the tranny say its out of a 96 it have the smaller final drive

 

on the block it will say B18c benbuilt4u is a cool guy so im sure he is selling something legit

 

Thanks i have never delt with him so i dont know

 

Take some pics for us
Goodluck

 

its a PR3 head i think but the c5 head its self is the same a b16a

 

benbuilt4u is a real good guy. Your going to get a nice motor. Goodluck on ur project

 

you can trust ben built bro,but the JDM B18C-R and B18C GSR both have the same block numbers.

 

yes and also, the heads are completly different with different stamps, manifolds, different trannys, one being LSD the other not, on the bottom of the block where it connects to the tranny, there should be a aluminum bracket and not 2 cast iron brackets..

 

Ok well iam confused on what to look for so i cant really tell the difference if thr bottom end is off a grs or a itr.Or should i have nothing to worry about when going there..And u can do manual compression tests right?

Yes, they sell compression test kits at Autozone and Advance Auto Parts.

Check your PM or email at clemson_33@yahoo.com

 

Check to see if the VIN number plate is in place on the block. If it is from Japan it will begin with a J. From the US usually begins with a 1, Canada 2.

 

block code should say B18C, head code should be PR3....also the intake manifolds look different between the r and non r

 

anyone know about the tranny

 

i plan to buy a type r motor from benbuilt4u also he got some crazy prices. once spring comes cant wait.
post pics if you can when u get the motor

I can't think of any that begin with 0. I didn't think there were any. I work for Progressive Insurance and we have a VIN format chart that tells us what each digit in the VIN means and how to decipher it.

 

All bens **** has been great i have seen most things that he has sold and all have been in great shape and run great, you have no worrys with ben and if you have a proble he will work it out he is just a good business man who is into helping people out.

 

Ben is a cool person to deal with. A buddy of mine has picked up 2 Type R's lately and both of them were clean and I know his runs pretty good. He is a legit and straight forward and has awsome deals. I think that is were my motor is gonna come from.

actually JDM motors donty come with VIN plates. none of them do. instead they have 2 holes where the rivets are supposed to be. just like 1994-1995 gsr trannies. no vin plate just 2 holes. even on the block right above the oil pan there is no VIN plate just 2 holes where teh rivets that hold the plate on are suposed to be. i have a jdm motor supplier here in atlanta that i get jdm motors from when im in a bind and none of them have plates on them

 

yea Ben iz a great guy i recently bought my R from him everything MINT......if there's a problem he'll help u through it no problem u have nothing to wory about

As far az the engine code goes if its jdm it'lll only say B18C like mine and S80 on the trans but u got nuthin to worry bout u got questions ask Ben he'll let u know

 

how much is he selling for?

my friend and i both have gsr trannys on our b16s and they both say s80, im not posititve but i thought 'r' trannys are y80. dont put your money down on that one though. also if its a true 'r' tranny there'll be a black stamp reading 'LSD', if it wasn't somehow removed.

Sounds to me like somebody is ripping them off. Why would they do this?

i have had 3 jdm motors from the same supplier; 2 b16 1st gens and 1 96 jdm b18c type r motor. nonw of them had VIN plates on them. VIN plates are specific to US cars. japan domestic market does not usilize the VIN system. even their cars dont have vin numbers on the dash like us cars. no one is ripping anyone off when they sell jdm motors with no VIN plates. the supplier i deal with is very reputal in the atlanta area. i think you jus might be confused because someone told you that jdm motors have VIN plates on them.

ask anyone on here that has bought jdm motors from HMOTORSONLINE or other reputable sources and they will tell you that their jdm motors dont have VIN plates on them. that is another reason it is so hard to track stolen jdm motors unless the BLOCK code is on file with the police or proper authorities.

I do believe Japan utilizes the VIN system. I have had customers quote VIN numbers from vehicles with a right-hand drive steering wheel. It comes up as a "gray market" vehicle, sometimes we won't insure them.
