    Default Something that bothers the hell out of me...

    Why is it when ever a honda has a motor swap, no matter what it is.... It's always a "JDM" swap? a JDM b181b, a JDM b16 blah blah blah blah blah......

    lol depending on where they get it depends on what they think it is i suppose. All the honda engines i get are STRAIGHT from japan...apparently they all swap to new engines after 40k miles...makes things here better though

    Because telling someone you had the engine shipped overseas, just for your car. Is sessi-er than saying "uummm I got it from a wrecked 99 SI from a junkyard".

    because sometimes they offer more power if they are actually real JDM engines... like the JDM H22 Type S motor has 220 horsepower vs. the USDM H22 motor 190 horsepower...
