It's the same as a regular GT to GTS swap. The performance of the JDM and USDM 2ZZs are exactly the same, it's just the ECU tuning that gives them different hp output due to emissions (and different hp conversions). Either way, I'd never buy a car with that extent of stuff done to it. I can only imagine how many things can go wrong. thumbsdown
