i have a 4 door gsr with a stock b18c3 in it. what kinda potential does it have and what are the things i should do first?

 

BASICS!!! start with intake/headers/cat-back exaust. and decide what you going to do from there. N/A or forced induction.

 

4 door=

 

ok heres the deal it is a 96 four door gsr with a b18c3 a dc header injen cold air stage 3 clutch but what do i do now?, is nitrous safe for that morotr? or turbo or what?

 

where's the b18c3 from? Meaning, what country gets the c3?

 

If your gonna be a street/drag racer, nitrous would be the best way too go
And I think he is referring to the b18"c1?"

 

c3 its a 93 - 97 type r or from europe

 

If you want to make more power do a search on any part you wish to replace.

Search for: "intake", "header", etc.

 

No. Its not.
B18C3 to the best of my knowledge is a spoon stamped motor which basically
comprises of a jdm sir-g shortblock with an itr head.

 

Not sure on this one...but hybrid.honda-perf.org and many other sites list it as the 95-97 honda ITR engine. I wouldn't think there was enough of a difference to warrant changing the designation though.

However, I've also heard that it's a spoon motor.

Do you actually own this motor? Where'd it come from? Is b18c3 what's stamped on the block?

 

I am 100% sure it is NOT a jdm ITR engine. No jdm factory badged honda engine
has a number after the block code. I also know of no b18c in the world that uses
the designation "3". After seeing enough of them come from spoon, it is my
estimation that they stamp the block themselves.

 

What about the thread-starter? Where'd you get this engine? Any info on where you got it, so forth and so on.

(Not that I don't believe sgT, I do. Just wondering how one comes upon an engine like this....)

 

The guy is saying it's a euro ITR engine not JDM. Maybe spoon AND euro ITR motors have that stamp for some reason.

 

Euro ITR is B18C6

 

Euro engine is B18C6 ........

Like sgT said, the JDM doesn't any numerical designation, just B18C, B16A, B16B, etc.

When did Europe first get the R? Japan got it in '95 1/2 as a '96 model ..... then we got it the next year.

 

You type too fast Steve ........

 

For all years? Did europe get the GSR?

 

Like Steve/sgT said, this isn't a euro b18, which is c6. I'm just wondering how this person came across this engine with the interesting stamping...

 

The Euro GSR engine B18C4 came in a civic not an integra.

 

So is this guy smoking weed or yanking our chain?

 

i bought the car off a buddy of mine who blew his c1 in a race...he then ordered another c1 from a shop in riverside cali but the sent him a c3 so payed a lil more for it and swapped it in (4000$)...he told me it was gen 1 itr moror but i wasnt sure... so i aked you guys

 

Hmm...What was the shop's name?

 

I have seen 1 b18c3, it was a gsr with higher compression pistons.
It still had gsr crank, rods, head, and manifold.
If it wasn't for the stamping or the pistons I wouldn't have seen a difference.
I don't know where it came from.

 

There you go.

 

B18C4 is GSR engine ina Civic, called areodeck VTI in Europe
B18C6 is type-R engine in Integra Europe
what the **** is an B18C3?
is there a B18C2 as well ?
B18C7 is Australia, right?
