yup, true, but if you want a b18c5(200hp not usdm) or a b16b then you're going have to get a jdm engine. also forgot to mention, also the jdm type s prelude engine.

since you're in cali...keep it legal and go w/ a usdm engine...sure, jdm engines have like 10 more hp....but who the hell knows how many miles are on em or where they came from. at least when you get a USDM engine, you're usually pullin out of the car and can see the odometer....I'm sure most JDM engines have at least twice the miles the importers advertise...plus, then you dont have to deal w/ trying to get your car through inspection...

Yea but they can look up stuff just from the serial number on your block and pull up all the information i need to know. I called my dealer and he told me everything about my motor and how many miles, etc.
