• Maintenance: Before startup, we highly recommend replacing the timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs.

• Professional Install: Due to the complexity of the Dual VVT-i and wiring integration, professional installation by a shop experienced in JDM swaps is required for performance and reliability.
