JDM vs USDM?
i have a 94 civic DX coupe that i am planing on doing an engine swap on , i will be going with the B18C type R motor , what i want to know is what is the big difference between the jdm and the usdm , i read that the usdm dosen't have as much HP/TQ and CR , other then that which one would be the easier of the two to swap and which one is all around the better motor? thanks for any help and info

what u read is basically correct. Main different is power. The US dont get the good stuff from japan ever unless it is imported. Honestly go the the JDM and dont even think about USDM. Thats my opinion tho. Plus if u are also gonna buy the engine and tranny then get the JDM cuz the JDM ITR tranny has better gearing and it will make u run 13s easier.
