are jspec engines good?

[mitsukid124]

i was told that the guy i got my car from put a jspec engine in the car, i was just kinda curious of anyones exeriences.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I assume he was talking about a JDM engine? If so, it won't be any different than the engine you already have. Assuming you're talking about your '97 gst.

What about the cool cyclone intake!!!! ;)

[mitsukid124]

ok sweet thats whats in it but i wasn't sure. some kid was trying to tell me j spec suck and are crap.

and what about a cyclone intake? ha i don't know a whole lot yet, im still learnin.

You don't want a Cyclone intake manifold or a JDM engine. You'd be better off getting a rebuilt engine from any of the local shops who sponsor our board.

if you really like the low-end power, i guess the cyclone IM is nice i guess but the 2g manifold works and like Kracka said, its better off getting the engine rebuilt. My honda friends still think swapping my engine for a "japan" engine will be better....?????!!! LoL

Cause it's jdm, it's better...duh..lol. Honda guys also think their cars are fast, they're a delusional group of people.

In some cases a j-spec or jdm motor, can be better in slight ways. Most times not. Stock usdm 2jz's make more power than jdm 2jz's...but dsm motors are pretty similar, and using a stock usdm 6/7 bolt 4g63 is cheaper, and pretty similar. J-spec is just a fancier way of saying, this is gonna cost a bit more.

but the 2g manifold works

No, just no. What he meant to say is, a 1g manifold will work just fine.

The only better jdm engine is a evo 3 engine
They have
510cc injectors
Bigger cams
Sodium filled valves
Mls head gasket
Evo3 16g turbo
Better exhaust mani and o2 housing
Better intake mani
Bigger t.b. over 2g t.b. also like a n/t t.b.
9:1 forged pistons
Ect
Other wise the 6bolts are all the same US and JDM. The cyclone intake is not worth any thing unleass you have all the parts to set it and make it work
