Installation & USDM Drop-In Notes

• Component Swapping (Crucial): While the foundational engine block core, internal pistons, and cylinder head are identical, installers must transfer the original US-spec engine wiring harness, turbocharger assembly (with matching factory wastegate electronic actuator), alternator, starter, air conditioning compressor, and exhaust components to guarantee a direct check-engine-light-free match with your domestic vehicle's ECU.

• Oil & Fuel System Prep: Due to known fuel-dilution considerations in direct-injection turbo platforms, it is mandatory to prime the oiling system prior to first startup. Fill exclusively with premium 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil and install a brand new OEM Honda oil filter.

• Preventative Maintenance: To protect your investment and secure your warranty coverage, we highly advise replacing the water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, front and rear crankshaft seals, and valve cover gasket while the engine is out of the vehicle chassis.
