I am thinking about about buying a car with an alleged type r jdm motor in it. How do I know its a realy type r motor since the jdm motors done use number? How do I know its not a GSR motor. It has vtec I test drove the car.

Thank ahead of time

Whats the block casting say on it? What does the head casting say on it?

 

The block says b18c. I dont know about the head. The car has vtec and pulled to 9500, but then again it has a mugen program.

 

Cosmetically the easy way to tell is the intake manifold. I dont have any pics on this computer right now but hit up Hmotorsonline.com check out the pics of the motors see if you can remeber what it looked like under the hood.

 

yes thank you there are obvious visual difference in the intake manifold.

i think the throttle body is in a difference position as well because of the different design of the intake manifold. is this true?
