| since... 1. Balance Tube
> I'll give ya that... 1 Item 2. 4 upper plenum vacuum fitting connections (count them as 1 or 4...each 1 takes time...)
> I only remember two. There the two that feed the brake booster and clutch booster. What other ones are there? 2 Items 3. Oil Pan
> This time but not always... Not counting... 4. Oil pressure sender unit
5. Replacement bolt for old sender unit location
>Those are really one and the same... as you're just swapping. 3 Items 6. Downpipes
>Most people get SZ DPs, so I don't really consider that, but anyway. Not Counting. 7. Spark plugs and in some cases the coil packs...
> Maintanence is a no brainer, and doesn't count... 8. A couple of pieces of intake piping
> No clue what you're talking about here. All intake piping is the same... Most engines don't come with it, and most of them are removed from your old engine when you pull it... so this one is void. Not counting. 9. Flywheel (since the JDMs are automatic, unless you are VERY lucky)
> Eh... another maintanence thing... Not counting... 10. Turbos (unless you want the smaller JDM turbos)
> Been proven false a number of times... I'm running JDM turbos that came with my motor... they put down just as much power as any other Z Turbos... Not counting... 11. Side attachments from old upper plenum
> You already talked about these above... void. Again, not counting... 12. Portions of the EGR equipment
> huh? No idea what you're talking about here... unless you're removing it entirely. I didn't touch the EGR stuff on my motor, until I removed it the next time I had the motor out... No clue... That leaves 3 items of your list of 12 that are valid JDM to US swap issues... the rest is just no brainer items or completely invalid. If you really want to count them in pieces... that's, 5 pieces... Oil Pressure Sending Unit, Plug, Vacuum Fittings on Plenum (2), Balance Tube... Oh, there is 1 more, its filled with a plug on the back of the plenum on the left on the US motor... there, 6. See, that's not so hard.
