I'm new here so bare with me please. Will JDM H22 parts fit on a H22A4? Like for example Jun Valvetrain.

Then why do people complain about there not being enough parts for our cars? I've seen lots of parts for the JDM h22. Is there something i'm missing here? Yeah i know they cost a ton for the good parts, but they're still there.

That's because JDM H22 like Type-S models have the 11.0:1 compression rather than USDM's 10.#:# compression. The JDM engine is much more powerful.
Even though parts are interchangeable between the two.

People are just glued to the fact that most parts manufacturers make parts for H22 engines but most don't put H22A4 (USDM) motors. And when you don't use the name or model that someone in the US has, they start saying there aren't parts out there even though like you said, there are quite a few if you are willing to look for them.

Wha?

I think you nailed the main complaint in your last post. Sure, there are engine parts available. But they cost a damn mint if they're JDM only, and on top of that can be hard as hell to source. If you're looking to drop the cash, then by all means, feel free.

I'm not talkign about JDM H22 Type S. I'm talking about 4th gen H22. Like the engine in the yellow lude they have> Would those parts fit into a 5th gen usdm prelude h22a4. I see what you're saying MugenTL. I think i got my answer. Thanks.
