there is enough info on here for you to make up your own mind...a lot of people like the jdm because you can rev and boost the crap out of them...some like the usdm bcause you have .5 extra displacement, low end torque, can pass inspection a bit easier...use the search and read

A real opinion is to sell that car and buy a STi.

USDM 04 STi. The reasoning: The wiring diagrams are almost identical, it will take a huuuge component out of the swap.

So you decided to buy a 2005 RS and now you want to do an STi engine swap about a year later? Say goodbye to any resale value you might have had. Sell your car and buy a WRX. |

Tearing a 05 anything apart is a waste! Seriously, sell the car and buy a WRX! Or better yet, sell the 05 and get a 99-01 2.5 RS and swap a v6 RA or a v7 into it.
