I was talking to my buddy who is swapping an h22 into his accord and he said the jdm h22's are a big pain in the ass (due to an interal coil) where as the usdm's are easier to manage and swap. So whats the story on 3s's? Is any gen the easiest and does jdm or usdm matter?

the JDm has more HP and the harness neads to be lengthened and made to work with your other systems.
The USDM has smog control, and the harness has to be made to work with your other car systems anyways. Also a USDM would have a lot more miles, and be harder to find and more expensive. |

I paid close to 6k with parts and labor, but I replaced most of the gaskets on the top end, and belts and stuff. Got a lightened flywheel, and performance clutch (but you need this regardless)
