JDM/USDM and Buying Question
Hello, first post on the forums. I searched the forums and read a lot... but I coudln't find the answer to my question. I hope I didn't over look it. First, are people swapping the US turbo engines with the JDM turbo engines? How much more of an advantage is it? I know on cars like integras there are large differences in internals on the two markets engines, same engine just a lot stronger. My intentions is to have a weekend car (doubtfully daily driver but possible) that I can have fun in and work on... I really enjoy dragracing. So that will be what I gear the car toward. I live very close to Bristol Dragway (Bristol Motor Speedways Dragstrip). A lot of good drag racing happening there.
I am currently looking at two cars. One is a 91 turbo t-top, leather, new leather on seats, all power options, bomex body kit, engine rebuilding this very second, 49,000 org miles, freshly custom painted, suspention uprades, springs etc. Asking a tad under 9k.
The other is a (apearling stock body, can't tell condition from picture on exterior or interior) 90k on car, 35k on JDM swap (not sure but I assume 3sgte), 3in downpipe, also all power options. There asking a tad under 6k... Again haven't talked to these people but they might come down on price.
If you guys could give me some feedback it would be muchly apriciated... Myself I like the first description. Car looks to be in great condition. If i could verify the 2nd was in good condition I would consider it. Much better price. OK, Have at it... I hope I can get one of these great cars and reside at this forum often. Thanks!
