I wish my dad bought me that for my first car lol

 

[pakman732]

lol thanks.

 

[civicsoulja21]

yes it has all the same codes as my dads jdm gsr so that is the motor

 

[Shiznit]

then i dont think its a type r. because its black.

but i do know that its an si because thats what it says on the title and the carfax.

you can tell its an Si if the first 6 characters in your VIN number is 1HGEM1

it's a japanese gsr. aka SiR-G

thanks. that really helps. really appreciate it.

but i have another problem. i took the car to get its emission done, but the OBD wouldnt link to the car's ECU. is it because of the swapped engine or maybe it downgraded to OBD 1? what do i need to do to get the emission/smog test passed?

thanks.

This car will not pass emissions, this motor was never used in this car. You have to find a little shop who does inspections and try to get a lick n stick, in other words they inspect everything else but you pass enissions lol.
My dad has the same swap but in his EX he has to get that done so youll have fun lol

ya, find a shop, throw them a little extra cash, and you should be good on emissions, sweet ride too, definately replace the tails, debadge it, I think the red emblem should go as well, and replaced with a factory one, just my opinion on that though, and definately a front lip, you can get one off ebay for cheap, I have the mugen style on mine, I like it better than the stock one, just try to find a shipper that ships it in the right box and not in a box that it must be bent to fit into...

Pop the hood and look at the block right behind the radiator is where you want to look the motor code will be there. b18c1 is JDM gsr, b18c3 is USDM gsr, b18c5 is type r USDM
And yeah haha i was too late haha, you can pick up a lip fo like 80 bucks, and yes go oem tails they are sexy haha

nottt quite. JDM will read B18C whether its a GSR or Type R. Look for the stamp on the head. It'll say "P72" if its a GSR. You should also be able to tell the difference between intake manifolds and valve covers too.. come on guys.

Is your check engine light on?

Congrats on your first car. Your dad got you a car with decent mods already. Too about the smog thing though.
In Iowa you would be good to go.

I didnt know you had to check the head but i dont follow valve covers anymore, too many guys where i live buy the type r ones so i go by motor codes i check both, but all the usdm motors ive checked have the complete motor code such as my b16a2. so thanks for telling me check the head

when you first start it up it its ok, but it comes after driving a few miles.
