HEY guys, pls help a brother out. im seeing that why cant i just do the parts swapping to a K20a instead buying the whole 5,000 jdm block and etc. if you guys agree with me on this then can you pls tell me the difference between usdm and jdm motors so i can order parts and do the conversion. and for those who oppose ill be open to your opinion towards this conversion. thanks. holler back guys. hope to see some of you guys at lowes saturday night ;-)

 

IMO get a RHD DC5 saves alot of money, the camshafts are different, type r has a LSD, the inake manifold the valve cover, the type r final drive, flywheel, pistons, there are probably lots more..

 

lsd

 

head gasket

 

these are just adding on to what JCL said he was pretty much on point...OH YEA...ECU

 

actually the whole tranny is different i believe, the gears are much much shorter...

 

yea dc5 type r happens to be one of the best transmission honda ever made. yet on top of this do any of you knw any good site that can state the difference between jdm and usdm dc5?

 

The differences are:
head has mild port/polish job in the intake runners and bowls, cam, lighter valvetrane, intake and exhaust manifold, higher comp pistons w/coating, heavier crank, lighter flywheel, tranny has different final drive and lsd, ecu is different too, painted valve cover, higher chromium content rods....not sure, but think the throttle body is 2mm larger.

 

More torque
