I am looking into purchasing a JDM version of the EJ25 and was wondering how would I actually identify it as being a true JDM and not a North American model? Thanks!

Why would you care? They should be pretty much the same engine.

Someone was telling me the JDM version would be more reliable and have slightly more power.

Only difference that I know of is the EGR valve.

USDM has it, JDM doesn't.

If you don't have one, it is possible it will throw a code. :-\

if you get one with out an egr trade with grossgary, that's just what he's looking for.

if you're willing to pay more for a JDM, there are two options that are far an above better than a JDM motor.

 

get a local, running EJ25 and have new head gaskets installed. a JDM motor still has original head gaskets on it = bad mojo. no way i'd pay high dollar or premium prices for an EJ25 with original head gaskets, that's a horrible choice.

 

CCR rebuilt. you're talking $3,000+ for a new motor with 36,000 mile/3 year warranty. great folks, members of this board.

don't need one now and i use them for EJ swaps, so it would need to be an EJ22.

 

but...a non EGR EJ25 would be nice to have lying around just in case.

talk about bring back from the dead...

 

auto 2.5's have a EGR even in japan.

 

most of the JDM engines have a different intake manifold and the coil pack is not mounted to the top of the intake plenum. but then again, some are.
