Why do Jap car engines have to have such puss names? I mean h22r43, b16, I8a50, BIgd8, LILpecker, what the shhit is that? At least american engines have, 5.0, LS1, 427, hemi.

that is pretty much my point. from what i understand (which may not be completely accurate), dsm = diamond star motors. the diamond star motors plant is in Normal, Illinois. if it wasn't built in Normal, then it isn't a DSM. therefore there really aren't JDM blocks. there are JDM versions of that motor (the 4g63) that went into the Evolutions, but i really haven't heard of swapping in an evo block.

a common swap, however, is to replace the 2nd generation motor (7 bolt) that is known to "crankwalk" with a 6 bolt motor from the first generation DSM's. most people don't do this swap until they blow the 7 bolt motor. some may consider it dumb to build the 7 bolt, without upgrading to the 6 bolt. personally, i'd consider it a waste of resources to swap out a perfectly fine 7 bolt just because it might crankwalk in the future.

go here:jdm1
and here:jdm2
and here is what you are talking about:EVO

Oh and your "American" DSM's arent reallly American:DSM

Sorry strider, They must have pulled the vid from to much bandwidth usage. I will see if I can post it somewhere else.
