how can u tell if the b18c is from a itr or its from a gsr? valve cover ? red vs black? anything els is there a number ? after b18c… ?
depends
if its a JDM B18C then there is not a very easy way to tell. i dont THINK. maybe you can read it from the stamps on the head or soemthing? not sure. but like my engine is a JDM B18C - i am 99.9% sure its a GSR B18 but not 100% positive.
if it were a USDM engine you could easily tell by the code on the block.
USDM:
B18C1 - GSR
B18C5 - Type-R
as for the valve cover and what not im not really sure. this is what my cover looks like ~>http://joelapiana.us/images/images/Clean%20009_jpg.jpg

so u really cant tell if the b18c is from a jdm gsr or a type r unless u actually know what car its comeing out of. thx for the info.
From what i have been told, i think yours is a gsr b18c. The reason i say this is because of the upside-down clamshell type intake manifold. I could be wrong, just a guess.
