The first thing *I* would do is pull it apart and inspect the internals for damage, then I'd clean it thoroughly, and rebuild it with all new seals/springs.

"JDM Engines" are a HUGE gamble..

As for actually making it function... they are essentially identical except for some emissions add-ons. I believe the later series japanese models came with a better ecu, and the '99+ models had upgraded turbos and a more robust y-pipe.
