What year? If it's a real JDM CTR if I recall the first gen had B16's and the rest had variations of the K20 (Which I wouldn't imagine someone swaping that for a B18). So with a B18 swapped in the type R would just be cosmetic as it would practicaly be just a swapped civic with depending on the B18 ~140-195 BHP.

He just happened to be online, these are his mods:
B18C6 engine swap, Mugen headers, Mugen intake, Full exhaust, Camber adjustment front + rear, Carbonfiber hood, Chiptune by Team Frequency.
He has a 2000 Civic Hatchback Type R, it did have a B16 originally. (We're not located in the US, 90% of the cars here are JDM).
Here's a link to see him in action (didnt know it was a track prepped when i was racing him): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV41W2y4aTU

+1, it's all about the power to weight ratio.
I got my *** handed to me by a JDM Honda Civic Type R, with a B18 Swap,Exhaust,Suspension mods and stripped interior. He beat me by a three to four car lenghts. I was on 20's and only had my CAI + Tune, i thought i had it in the bag.. oh well.. it motivated me to get more mods..

Nobody seems to get the "Power-to-Weight" ratio thing.
I'm gonna get walked by a Honda later tonight. H22 powered hatch with a 75 shot. I know I'm gonna loose, but it'll be fun anyway.
