Probably not the B18C5.
It made 195hp, not 200. And while its not impossible to find C5 parts on the used market, you are much more likely to find whole JDM engines. The JDM B18C "TypeR". No number designation. It made 200PS, which is technically 197hp but most importers/sellers are to stupid or careless to make the distinction.
I'm personally of the belief that anyone selling C5 parts is automatically suspicious...the usdm type R was available is such limited numbers, they end up in the junkyard much less frequently than, say...a GS-R might. And the the type-R is a hot theft ticket. Ebay is a pretty safe way for thieves to move hot parts...so be cautious.
Thanks for the info, I actually checked wikipedia before on the b engine series and I didn't see any with 200hp. SO I was curious. Actually my cousin, the moron as he is, said his mercedes 190e had 200hp which actually his torque, but in Newtons per meter, so not only did he confuse horsepower with torque, but used the less used measurement. So he's kind like those sellers I guess
