Why JDM? So you could sit over on the right and closer to oncoming traffic?

They're the same. The rear diff is different and has AYC, but the motor is virtually identical

There are a few creature comforts in the JDM cars as well. Nav, auto climate, power folding mirrors. ETACS stuff.
And what about the anti-lag system? Boost control? MAP sensor? Those are different aren't they?

Wait, is it to go in a Lexus? Never mind the interior crap then.

electronics and such might be a tiny bit different, but i was referring to the motor itself. yes the JDM have antilag, but that's easy enough to remove for a US install (or keep with an ecu and wiring harness etc., etc.

i'd just use a USDM motor for ease of install
