i was curious are jdm parts more expensive then usdm parts for hondas.... for example if i have a jdm engine will it be more expensive to replace it with the jdm clutch..... can i also use a usdm clutch for a jdm engine?

 

When you really get down to it, it's all Japanese, but jdm is just marketed over there with subtle differences because they don't have some restrictions that the states do. In the large majority of cases (and I can't think of any that dont' apply, but I am sure there are some), you can swap back and forth between the two.

And to answer your question... As far as I know, yes, you can put a US marketed clutch in your jdm motor/tranny.

 

Ya I am pretty sure JDM parts are more expensive than USDM parts just because people have to import/ship them from Japan. Plus all the little ricer kids think they need all the JDM parts to make them faster. Like Street Sniper said the differences are only little things and you should be able to swap JDM and USDM parts.

 

ok thanks guys, i jus wanted to make sure if i went with the b16a2 jdm swap i wouldnt be stuck having to pay more for parts

 

there is no such thing as a jdm b16a2 however there is a such thing as a jdmb16a.

 

ummm...yes there is. the JDM-b16a2 (SiRII) Also came with a automatic transmission option aswell as the euro(canadian). that is like saying that there isnt such thing as an jdm civic type-r or ITR.. and the JDM version of the B-series come with like 10-20 more hp than usdm motor's. for example: usdm b16=160hp vs JDM spec b16(SiR) 170hp.

but as with youre question yes you can interchange usdm and JDM part's but they may vary as-well.
