Thanks guys, I value your input. The JDMs seem to be like I thought :) |

Hi, I'm new here. Please forgive me if I this has been posted in the past. I tried the search function. Anyway, I read this on a civic forum(http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179335): ---- JDM Swaps Honestly, unless these come from a friend in Japan, you're taking a gamble every time. You have no real way to know how many miles are on the engine, nor how it was treated. Just keep that in mind. It has not been proven (no matter how many claims) that these JDM motors make any more HP. ---- Now I'm wondering, is any of this true? If you're able to find a trustworthy company that sells these engines, shouldn't everything be ok? I've noticed a lot of you have done the 3S-GTE swap - did any of you import the engine from Japan, or got it from a company which imports them? Experiences with this? |
