| Ive done the swap, and this is what had to be changed. After youve done a swap you realize how the simple stuff adds up...Im sure I could think of more given some time: 1. Balance Tube 2. 4 upper plenum vacuum fitting connections (count them as 1 or 4...each 1 takes time...) 3. oil Pan 4. Oil pressure sender unit 5. Replacement bolt for old sender unit location 6. Downpipes 7. Spark plugs and in some cases the coil packs... 8. A couple of pieces of intake piping 9. Flywheel (since the JDMs are automatic, unless you are VERY lucky) 10. Turbos (unless you want the smaller JDM turbos) 11. Side attachments from old upper plenum 12. Portions of the EGR equipment I would also count on having to use some parts from your old engine. I had to replace the TPS and lots of hosing. Even though that part of it isnt because of JDM differences, its to be expected. Also, you REALLY shoudl do a 60k maint when dropping a JDM engine...
