Can Japanese spec (JDM) import engines be used?
A17: Yes. There are plenty of different types to choose from. Many are more powerful than the models sold to the rest of the world, and often feature new technology such as variable valve timing before it is offered to the rest of the world. Bear in mind though, that most seem to require premium grade (97 RON or higher) petrol. Also parts for Jap spec engines are not available through the main dealers in Europe, and the availability of things like wiring diagrams may be a problem.
