the guy at the motor place told me the distributors are different.

do i just use my us distributor? or what do i do to use the jdm distributor that came on the motor?

I am curious about this too cause I have a Type S head?? So I would have to source a JDM dist. for it too work properly?

I havn't heard any of that, check out the JDM swap FAQ in the FAQ section.

From what I just read it's dealing with a 4th Gen swap using the JDM distributor, can I use a USDM distributor on an JDM head mated to a USDM block for a 5th gen?

^read marcucci's post in NTPOG on "JDM H22"

The jdm will need your US distributor, and oil pump if you use the US ECU. This way emmissions can be passed.

I'm guessing with modification you can use the JDM ECU though. <--- Remember though in Japan they run over 95 octane as the "premium". I think they have 104 octane or 101.

i used the jdm distributor/pump and all the stuff off the jdm. does this mean i won't pass emsissions?

^ From what I understand...no. Do you use the JDM ecu or the US? I think that's the main thing.

Hey Michelle, IIRC, there is no ODBII in Japan. I don't think they have the same emissions restrictions that we have in the states.

lilredlude: Do you have your US distr., oil pump, and ECU?

hmotors told me the one i bougth was a obd2 car. the jdm engine doesn't have a crank position sensor becuase its in the distributor or something, so we used the jdm distributor so we wouldnt' have to hook up the sensor. the engin is already in with all the jdm parts. i guess we'll wait and see if i pass.

^^You're getting played. I would check into that more carefully.

I'm confused! Is your engine JDM or USDM? JDM engines are not OBDII, but you can use the stuff off a US motor so that it will behave like one.

the type s from a 1998 is obd2. other older jdm engines are obd1.

^ I thought Japan didn't use OBD anything? Due to different emission laws. OBDII I thought was a US gov. thing.

its obd2 equivalant then. i've been told it passes emissions by a couple ppl that did the swap, so i should be all set

+2. Does it sound the same as a regular USDM motor or is it louder? Cuz I heard louder = faster.
