Hey R freaks, I'm looking to pick up a 00 w/ 23K(kilometers). I noticed there are two diff. engines listed, not for the same car duh, just in general. Some are 1797 and some 1834. What are the differences besides cc's?

I'm in Australia BTW. Thanks for the help.

 

The non-VTEC B18s are 1834cc, so I'm guessing the car in question either has an LS crank or an LS/VTEC motor.

If these are general specifications you've found somewhere, disregard the 1834cc bit. Stock ITRs all came with a 1797cc motor, regardless of the market.

 

Thanks, yeah the one I'm buying is 1797cc B18C7. I saw a guy list one as 1834cc and thought WTF? I saw the engine code in person and it was also B18C7, I knew I wasn't buying the car(high miles) so I didn't even bother asking the guy. Thanks again.

 

uhhh...there is no b18c7. The usdm ITR engine is a b18c5.

Uh, yea USDM itr is b18c5, but he said hes in Austrailia. Europe gets a b18c6, Austrailia gets a B18c7.

 

i thought that was obvious

 

I agree, whoever told you there was a 1834cc type r is full of it. besides even if there was an 1834cc type r motor it probably does have an ls crank which decreases the reliability of the motor once reved past about 7800 rpm which defeats the whole purpose of having a type r.

This is inaccurate.

The LS crank, while not as finely balanced as the R crank, is still very stout by any standard. Crank failure is not an issue with any B-series motor.

Now stock LS rods and rod bolts are probably not the best choice for a high-revving motor, but if you're willing to swap cranks for extra displacement a new set of rods shouldn't be a prohibitive expense.

Cool. Did you know that we have a town called Pittsfield MA here in the States, too?
