my friend and i have the same set up. except...his engine came from an automatic LS integra and converted it to manual when he dropped it in his eg....and mine came from a manual LS integra. are the engines exactly the same? is one slower than the other? if both drivers were the same...who would win? info please... thanks.

 

both are the same

 

really? i just heard from somebody that cam profiles are different...is that true? and if they are different..how much of difference is it?

 

i am almost 100% sure they are exactly the same

 

Also, I think automatic engines use an EGR valve while manual engines don't. As a result, automatic engines use a different intake manifold. This could also mean that automatic engines use different cams (less internal EGR, thus the need for an EGR valve).
