JDM - JDM Honda Parts and JDM Honda Engines

Many of the top Japanese auto manufacturers offer different vehicles for sale in the United States than they do in Japan and other parts of the world.  JDM is a term used to describe the Japanese Domestic Market, and it is most often used to refer to the automobile market specifically. People in the United States buy JDM parts to enhance the performance of their vehicles.

Many people who buy Honda cars in the United States look for JDM parts and engines online.  Hondas sold in Japan have different engines than the ones sold in the United States. These engines are often used in high performance sports like drifting.  Popular engines include Type R B18C, B16B and K20A engines.  These engines have often been detuned for use in other markets.

When it comes to swapping Honda engines, many buyers prefer to use B Series engines.  These engines often require different parts to become fully functional, so you may need to find those parts in order to complete the engine swap.  Many of these engines feature higher horsepower ratings.  The wiring for these engines may also be set for driving on the right side of the road.

Honda Civics are popular vehicles for engine swaps using JDM parts.  The B Series engine is often compatible with the Honda Civic.  Civics from 1992 to 1995 are some of the most popular models for B Series engine swaps.  You may need to find parts for the transmission to complete the swap.  When searching for engine swaps, you may want to find out if the seller is offering a complete package, featuring the engine and the trans-axle.
