Looking to get a jdm f20c to replace my block. Anyone with experience with boosting a jdm f20c? Thank you

 

They should be exactly the same

 

Compression is higher (11.7:1), and should give 250hp instead of 240.
Not ideal for boosting i'd say....
If you can get your hands on a US or EU F20C, it's probably cheaper

 

No. The extra compression will make a huge difference for forced induction.

 

I would prefer to boost the JDM F20c for the simple fact that the compression is higher. Yes your pump gas numbers will be limited but if you have a race fuel, e85, or meth option the JDM version will make more power and be more responsive versus the 11.0:1 USDM

 

The cost of the jdm engine doesnt justify the results. Id rather by the us spec engine and put my money else where.

 

I learned something new about our cars.

 

its hard to find a usdm f20c or f22c now days.

 

There are plenty for sale in the UK. Shipping must be pretty expensive... but if you have no other options...
