I just got a low milage engine swapped in...and I was wondering wut octane level I should use....I'm not sure if it's a 5sfe or a 3sfe all I know is it's JDM....and I read that using regular octane levels makes the engine preform better. Is that true?

Well, I doubt (if its JDM) that its a 5S-FE. I've actually never heard of that being in a Japanese car, but I could be wrong. It might be a 3S-GE or a 3S-GTE. A good way to tell is if it had a turbo-charger on it. Hmm...well, since you have it swapped in, let's get some pics or notes that you might have written about it during the process. Hope to hear more information! As for octane levels, just use your own discretion...you normally only have three choices at the pumps anyhow.
