Just one example, but dryhopsux13 jus dropped in a JDM B16 in his coupe, and its definitely a hell of a lot quicker than a USDM B16. They tell me it's due to higher compression and more hp(equivalent to a USDM GS-R).

JDM motors are much better, and generally they've been better taken care of because the Japanese get rid of them after 2 years for the most part, and they were putting 100-110 octane in them (thats the normal gas over there). You're getting a more powerful engine, and you're also getting a cleaner engine.

They also tend to beat the shit out of some of them. It's rare though, so don't worry about that. Any reputable engine supplier will exchange for a good one if it's thrashed. If you see a 3 or 6 puck copper or copper/ceramic clutch, hold your breath.
