In the orignal Options Mag it says they had it shipped to Japan from the US so its likely they used the MY98's DOHC motor.

I just noticed that they also moved the power steering fluid bottle. I'd like to see a better picture of this engine bay if possible.

all the JDM EJ25 is DOHC. I think SOHC EJ25 only exists in US.
I wonder why they chose export model EJ25..?

heads

I'd assume they used the best heads and best block they could use. That would mean using modified JDM STi heads and an EJ25 block that has been filled to have a closed deck. Maybe they had a shop in SoCal do the block. I'd imagine that few places in Japan do that kind of work, while US shops have a high volume/ low price advantage.

That's my speculation.

If JUNs doing a project it usually involves alot of custom done work at some of the top end machine shops in Tokyo. There are plenty of them around that area who could do the work. They did after all make their own four throttle body setup.

Yeah the pistons are made by Cosworth. Just flip them over, it's cast into the piston.

Jun is actually THREE divisions. Jun Machine Shop, Jun Auto Works, and Jun Body Shop. Of course these three are under another parent company.
