Default JDM or USDM?

I i buy a complete engine swap which should i go with? i know the jdm has slightly more power, but does it make a diff with the install? does it make a difference when i go to upgrade the engine?

Get whatever is cheaper. JDM/USIM (US Import Market), same crap to me cuz everything inside gets tossed in favor of something better.

is JDM motors ordered from online sites illegal in cali? I got mine from a this website. They're located in Montreal Canada. I guess my question is, what's legal and what's not?

If your gonna end up building the thing anyways then neither matters. But stock for stock JDM does have more power.
