Default Differences between JDM and USDM Integras

I live in the Bahamas, so the majority of the used cars available to me are JDM models right from Japan. I am thinking about purchasing a Honda Integra SIR-G (equivalent of the GSR). My problem is that I want to modify the car and the least expensive way to do that is by using USDM parts out of the US. Will USDM GSR parts work on my SIR-G? Are there any large differences between the two cars? I'll be greatful to anyone who can help. Thanks.

The only thing I see different is the dash, center console, and front end. All engine, suspension, exterior (except front end), and interior (except dash and console) parts should be the same.

Motor is tuned from the factory for 100RON fuel (~95octane). JDM SiVTEC/SiR/SiR-G has more compression than a USDM GSR. I have lots of USDM parts on my Teg. What parts are you looking to purchase?

Thanks for the help guys. I'm probably going to start with the basic bolt on's and then move up from there. Which do you think is better, turbochargers or superchargers? And what are there pros and cons? Thanks.

a Turbocharger uses the exchaust to compress the air going to the engine
superchargers use pulleys and some of the engine's hp to compress air going into the engine .

Yup, you are correct. I just assumed he wanted to compare the GSR to the Si VTEC/SiR-G.
