I’d get an FJ20et if I wanted rare, cool JDM shit. The thing is that the s14 came with the SR20det…so it’s not really JDM anymore. Put a VG30 in it. Get the power and the “tytness” ll in one move. ---

The CA18DET is a good engine, it can be bought and swapped for cheap, and it’ll make decent power. But please don’t do it to be unique, there’s nothing I hate more than people that do something JUST to be unique. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you have to fit in, but going out of your way NOT to fit in is pretty much the definition of fitting in nowadays. > [@TekVicious](#): > > I’d get an FJ20et if I wanted rare, cool JDM shit.

Don’t disturb the animals you can’t beat. TekVicious from my understanding lived in Asia and has done an interesting swap or maybe even a few.[/quote] Pavel, is it an S14 by any chance? 😛 No? Well then an FJ in an S14 isn’t JDM. Infact, an SR20 in an S14 isn’t JDM either, it’s swapping a JDM engine in a USDM car. If he wanted JDM, he can sell his S14 and go import a 90 or older Silvia or 180SX. I understand you think I’m an idiot, and I’m not gonna totally deny that one :lol: HOWEVER, I can’t stand how that acronym gets thrown around for almost everything nowadays. JDM isn’t some magical sticker that makes cars instantly cool and adds 20hp at the wheels. JDM is just different from USDM, it’s better in some cases, worse in others, I can’t see why people make such a big deal out of the term. ---

FJ20 is just as “JDM tyte” as SR20… look it up, it’s old school JDM. I know there are some FJ20 forums, or try looking up S12 if you can’t find anything. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ca18det-in-s14/82951.md?page=2)
