Anyone here has an 280hp japanese engine? Because I want to know how to get one. Thanks

 

We might have one availble with wiring harness in 2 weeks these are selling like crazy and we are only recieving 1 every 3 months or so.

The engine themselves are pretty much the same as the US spec. The 280hp increase is due to other upgraded items around the engine (turbos, ECU, piping, higher stock boost setting).

 

what do you mean by Japanese engine, I thought they were all built in Japan- or are the US ones assembled in the US??

 

the word j-spec has become quite marketable lately...its funny..what suckers.

 

you know the funniest thing is that they sell turbo II engines more than a 13b engine.

 

JSPEC and JDM are not interchangeable. All Japanese cars are built to Japanese specifications ...because they are Japanese cars. A USDM Japanese car is still JSPEC.

 

version v/vi engines (series 8), according to one article, feature improved apex seal lubrication

 

Not true, the JDM engines have no egr, acc warm up, idle air control on the manifolds. These manifolds flow better then the us spec. Also the exhaust manifold does not have the egr ports so these flow better as well. Also the 99 spec engines have a different lubercating system(as noted in the last post) Take care

Shane

 

Yes true - JDM is NOT interchangeable with JSPEC.

A JDM engine should not be refered to as a '99+ JSPEC engine because JSPEC is NOT JDM. Japanese Spec' is not the same thing as Japanese Domestic Market. A US Domestic market japenese engine is JSPEC but not JDM. Therefore a '99+ engine would be refered to as a JDM engine and not JSPEC. Why, only because there are no USDM for '99+. JSPEC means nothing because all Japanese engines are built to Japanese specs, which means a USDM Japanese engine is JSPEC but not JDM.

 

tru dat!

I've got a rare J-spec LT1.

 

How does the accelerated warm-up work? My engine idles high (a little over 1k) for about thirty seconds on cold start - though I did read that JDM doesn't have the US-spec warm-up

 

Yea and i am sure it does not run after 5 years.

 

That is the cold start cam warm up. In the states we actully have a selinoid that revs the car up to around 3k right at start up and stay there for a set amount of time(30seconds i think) Well take care.

Shane

 

my JDM engine has accelerated warm-up

 

I'd have thought I could find you a JDM engine with harnes, ECU, Turbos and Loom if you wanted, probably be around the $3500 mark though

 

well it is not a jdm engine if it has the acc warm up selinoid under the upper manifold.

 

We can do that but the 99spec Rz engines are extremely hard to come by. if you would like a non Rz engine we could do that pricing actually a little lower.

Shane is a great guy. He's the guy I am getting mine from in late December

 

i have one... there was a pretty good increse in what seemed like low-end torque... what there is anyway

 

Thanks bro, cant wait to hook that beast up! ohh any more good stories at blue cross. I told my girlfriend and she cracked up!

 

LOL, i've got ton's more, trust me Next time I come over, i'll share more, Hahaha!

 

hehehe i cant wait.

 

dam well if the front clip i thought i got from japan is not jdm maybe you can tell me where it came from?
