Hello fellow EVO enthuisasts,

I am trying to find out if our engine block is totally different than the JDM version. From what I was told, the JDM ver7/8 have better valves, valve springs and other better engine components than our USDM version.. Is it true??

any helpful infos and suggestions will be very appreciated!

Thanks

hmm... 17 views.. no one can help?

 

Possibly some forged components, but from everything I've read, the Long Block is more or less the same.. I think the differences are mainly in the stuff thats bolted onto the motor and other parts of the car.

 

Exactly the very same engine block, I bought mine in the USA to build my strocker kit.

 

I've been researching cams, and I've had a couple of vendors say that the 7 and 8 use different valve springs. Could someone overseas check the part numbers and let us know?

 

i also hear the JDM evo 7's and 8's got the titanium turbos... not sure if all but some ... USDM evo's do not

 

Jae ..they are talking about engine blocks, not turbos. Most already know JDM EVOs come with Ti Turbos.

 

No

 

dunno about valves .. but I do know the fuel rail is smaller on the 8

oops .. that include the JDM 8's as well ..

 

Hey guys,

Thanks for the info and comments. More additional info on this subject will be appreciated! If there are some minor differences, please state out as well!

Thanks!
