I"ve noticed between the n/a's sitting around and my TII engine that usdm ones will have a little plate on top of the housings that say something like hirkojo japan or something like that, where as the jdm housings don't have plates on the top of the housings, and don't say anything. If it's an s5 engine the knock sensor should be above the front trailing sparkplug, if its an s4 it will be in the middle plate, under the oil filter neck.

i do know that jspec ones have the brake booster line off the back firewall side of the intake manifold. also my jspec only has the low oil lever sender in the oil pan and not the oil thermo sender.
