-Had a friend tell me that When I go for a transplant, to make sure that I do NOT get a JDM type motor. What are the -/+'s of JDM.
-Thnx-

 

i did a jdm b16 swap in my 96cx. the only problem that i had was wiring issues. other than that the thing runs like a ****.

 

tell that friend of your to shutthe, and ask him if he even knows what it means - japenses domestic market. If he thinks that JDM motors are worse then he is an idiot !
they are differnt due to the wonderful american restictions!! most of them have a higher compression and sometimes different trannies. They also usualy have less miles than a USDM swap due to their (the japenese) restrictions.
Go for a jdm swap if you can get a good one dude, bolts in the same looks the same to the regular old JOE but...the differences are there!

good luck from .....

your friend needs a kick in the head.

JDM motors arent that much better (.2 bump in compression ratio)

and as for the mileage myth, the average JDM motor does see less mileage per year but dont trust what any shop tells you of the actual mileage. 99% of the time they dont even know so they just lie to you going by the 40,000 rule.
