Thread: Jdm Sr20de

Did the JDM SRs come with EGR? Hoe can i tell the difference between USDM and JDM.

Negative. You can tell super easy by the cleaned up intake manifold.

So this wouldn't be a JDM SR?

It has EGR, not a JDM.

That could be a JDM DE.

If the motor was taken out and they switched the intake plenum then there is no way to tell. I have done many a swap for customers where they wanted everything back to stock so I switched the intake manifolds so that everythin was original.


Same thing with lowprts. I can show you a RR JDM motor that I have put on the USDM lowport intake manifold and valve cover where you can not tell what the motor is.


At the end of the day what does it matter if it is JDM or USDM. Most JDM motors are 9.5 to 1 and some are 10 to 1. The diffrence between these two motors are 5 hp. Nothing to be fighting over

Isn't there a rule about false advertisment on the forum?

Where do you see false advertisement.

I posted it before your first responce. Sidekick is slow. Well idk then I mean it could be changed or a 200k mile motor trying to be sold as something its not. As you know im looking for a car for my brother. I just don't want him getting into anything that's gonna start breaking on him. Guess ill just have to check it out myself.

Look at it like this

$2500 for a used car.

If the motor goes bad you can buy a JDM motor for $450 and put it in.

There is no sure shot on a 16 year old car.

ask him to pop the valve cover to see if it's clean. if it is, JDm or not i'll take my chances!
