there actually is a difference but it has no effect on HP, some of the jdm solenoids dont have a pressure switch.

The pressure switch isn't part of the solenoid. It's below the solenoid. And yes, JDM heads don't have pressure switches.

it's bigger but it doesn't add more hp or anything performance wise. they do the same exact thing...they engage and disengage vtec.

Yeah see how the jdm has 1 plug versus the us has 2. As far as the size its bullshit and not worth any diff in performance, if you wanna buy into that crap then go right ahead.
