AUDM vs JDM

[dc2r-man]

Hey guys,

I noticed that the AUDM integra type r have 141kw and the JDMs have 147kw,now the engines specs seem identical so is the only difference the ecu and the mapping? if so can a jdm ecu be swapped over into an audm for extra power?

thanks

They have better headers aswell

better fuel in japan, which compliments the tune

better header/exhaust/cat

And iirc, they have a slightly higher compression ratio.

didnt v power used to be 100?? why cant we have higher octane, higherr!!!

100 octane is where its at!


and also with any other car in australia its been watered down with minor ecu changes from factory to suit our climate or what not.

we got 98 atleast we dont have a max of 91 or something in most states in america

they use a different system for rating there fuels octane.

There best fuel is about as good as our best fuel.

lol poor usa how do they have performance cars :S

I think you all need to read up on Octane rating.

And U.S.A fuel is the same as ours they don't use the RON rating they use ALI I think.

couldnt i just get a a full exhaust system,plug the jdm computer in and use 98 premium fuel with octane booster? would that work?

why not just get a hondata and tune it? you will actually see power gains then (after you've already done I/H/E that is..)
