one claims to have 250hp (JDM) and the US version is 240. whats the difference between the 2? anyone have any input let me know.

I blew my engine in my s2k last year and I finally came up with some funds to put a new one in. will a jdm engine slap onto a american wiring harness and all the other accesories/bolt on material under the hood?

thanks guys!

Exact same engine as far as I know.

 

one is left hand drive and the other is right hand drive.









peace

 

I think the JDM one has higher compression made for the higher octane fuel in Japan.

 

From wikipedia, starting with the 06 model:

Initially, the F22C1 was intended only for the North American market, but it was also introduced in Japan in 2006 with specified power of 242 PS (178 kW, 239 hp). Other markets continued with the 2.0 L version.

people have mentioned about the higher compression rate that the JDm engine has. I think ill just purchase the USDM one and save myself a good headache ... plus its $100 cheaper.... 4000 shipped with 35000 miles the whole long block with tranny.... anyone know if there is a better deal out there?

 

Give the HardTop guy a call. He can get you a line on a quality used engine and/or trans.

Ask for Jeff. He's a great guy and the owner.

You need to be careful who you deal with, especially when buying a used S2000 engine. I know of two individuals who bought engines through ebay motors who ended up with garbage - expensive garbage at that.

Good luck.

 

how did u blow ur engine? what mods did u have? any nos? SC?

 

JDM F20C's came w/ 11.7:1 CR and EDM 11.2:1.

Also the JDM engines don't have a VTEC oil pressure sensor.

The grey sensor sticking out.
