it the usdm typeR block . it the same as jdm typeR block , only it's meant for usa market
oh , just to clarify , it 81mm , so it effectively a 1.8L .
BUT, the chances of being a 2.0L is there if the linear has been changed to a 84mm or bigger pistons size before (but it's slim cos it is very expensive to do it)
