I'm new here and this is my first post, so go easy on me please, haha. Yes, I did use the search function, I've been reading up for a while now.
I am looking at picking up a msp with a blown engine soon. I've been searching around to find out what my replacement options are. I am now familiar with what cars I can get the fs-de from in the states and may just get a short block and go from there, but I'm having trouble finding what I'm looking for. There seem to be a good number of jdm fs engines on ebay and other places so I'm thinking about going that route.
My question is, is there a jdm fs-de and how exactly do I tell it apart from the jdm fs-ze? I read something about the intake being different and coil pack/distributor, but I've been having trouble finding conclusive answers. I know the fs-ze has much higher compression, I do not want that, I just want to know how I can visually tell the difference in the engines.
Thanks for any and all help. I'll be sure to make a formal introduction when I actually have the car instead of just dreaming about it, haha.
