I hope someone can lend some light on this...
I am at the point to buy the motor. (Missed out on budmans motor.) So, which one to buy? Options: EJ20 G About 240hp, coil on plug. I think this has smaller turbo, so, should spool faster. On our small cars, this may not matter much. Ej20 K About 280Hp, center mounted coil (dual) and uses wasted spark. I think this has larger turbo. Not sure. I have been using wikipedia for a resource, and there is not a whole lot of detail. As near as I can tell, I will need to get an external ignitor for either of these. Can someone jump in and clear this up? I appreaciate any help on this. -- brett |

I second that, research it well. There are lots of advantages to going with a U.S. market motor, both now and in the future. There are and will always be JDM motors available, so no need to rush it.

Just trying to fit my schedule. I will have a chance to work on this in about 2 weeks. If I miss that, it may be months later. -- brett |
