The ECU may be different but not the engine ... always used new jdm engines as spare parts for rebuilds.

The only different JDM engine from the U.S. versions is the 4 port 5 speed manual engine. Other than that the engines are not different except for a hose or two on the UIM due to being right hand drive.
