Question USDM to JDM base map?

I been searching for almost a day now, but no results.

i wanted to know how I can switch from the USDM stock map to a JDM map? How can I go about doing this? This stock map is garbage by the way... thanks in advance.

why would you do that? why not just have your car tuned or tune it yourself and actually get something out of it other than trying to plug and play parts of another base map

I figured because the USDM map is so bad. The JDM map would be a better base map because its tuned differently. Somebody shed some light if that is faulse, and save me from making a mistake.

Assume it is tuned differently, how do you know its going to run well on your car? Honestly, as posted above, the best thing to do is to take the current rom on the car and adjust it until it makes the best power on your car. If you have a IX, taking the JDM mivec map is what some folks here used to do (haven't been around here much lately so not sure if its still done), but the regular maps may/may not be tuned for the fuel in Japland which is way different stateside.
