when you say dsm motor do you mean 420a? because if so then you better be ready to cut, weld, and rewire.

rs/gs came with the 420a
gst/gsx came with 4g63t

Lol, A JDM 6 bolt is the same exact motor as a USDM 6 bolt. Unless your buying that whole motor just for the Mitsubishi valve cover that comes with the jdm motors, or maybe to tell your honda friends that you have a JDM motor

I would say your going to have better luck getting a 6-Bolt USDM 4g63 out of an Eclipse/Talon/Laser 89-92 and getting all the 2G necessities such as the alternator, pulleys, belts, and all that stuff. Then its just a matter of finding a 2G tranny, 6-Bolt clutch and putting it all in with the right intercooler piping and finally wire your 2G crank and cam sensor into the 1G cam sensor (a kit is avaliable online) and maybe if your lucky enough finding a cyclone intake mani to make ppl believe you have a JDM motor lol
