Re: Which is better jdm or usdm (red92hatch)

no such thing as a b16a1

you either got a JDM B16A 1st/2nd gen or USDM's B16A2 from Civic Si/Del Sol or B16A3 from the older Del Sols

Equal. Well not really. It all depends on your conditions. What will you use it for? How are the laws in your area? What kinda money you got? Those are just SOME of the things you must consider.

weird how do you kno each other.
get the usdm swap its much easier. b16a2 or the newer b16a3. if you get a 92-95 civic just get a b16 out of delsol much easier just plug and play.

Changing the subject to GSR's......

That $hit up top is crazy

Should I go with a USDM or JDM GSR for my 93 Cx?
The only cons I've read on the JDM is the higher compression which is not good for boosting.

Other than that is there anything else I should consider about the JDM? Will USDM parts work on a JDM?

It seems like I may not find a USDM GSR with under 50k, but I can get a JDM with under 50k >>> from IAS (Import Auto Salvage)

Thanks for any input!
