JDM Motor?
Hey Guys,
Will a JDM shortblock (motor only).. swap into a US Spec FD without issue.
I know you can't do a full engine swap due to the wiring harness being on the opposite side. So.. just the motor only.
Thanks Guys... Stoked to finally have my FD back and running after 6 months!

Just finished wiring a Jspec engine for a customer last week. It's not drop in and go you'll have to modify the X-05 and X-14 connectors if I remember correctly. With that, you'll also have to pop all the pins out of the one harness and re-pin them to the correct fashion.
If you want to buy a Jspec motor and use a US spec harness you're good to go. Using the Jspec harness requires attention and you might find broken wires and shorts in the harness to repair like I did. The job took several days to pinpoint and repair the wires and in one case I had to run a new brown/white wire to the TPS, OMP, and MAP sensor.
I'll I'm saying is be ready to expect the unexpected.
