well the motor that was in the car had 160kish on it… it was tired. Locked in the bottom end… figured I could get a rebuild which would cost who knows how much or get a 30-40kish Jdm motor with a tranny that has the same mileage on it aswell.
Difference wise is 25hp, Its pretty much all in the computer.
basicly More aggressive timing/fuel maps higher fuel cut no egr valve makes up for the usdm version that makes 200hp to the jdm version that makes 225hp.
also its always nice to part out the usdm motor once its running to get some money out of the ecu wiringharness and some other odds and ends due to these cars being so rare.
