2 black injectors 2 blue ones completly different style injector plugs/ injector harness more 1g 6 bolt stylish

different smaller shorter intake manifold with no throttle bodie elbow

different water jacket and powersteering brackets are different then the 95 gsx 7 bolt i have

different style ignition coil

small turbo with completley different outlet setup and waste gate location

mabey some other things i havnt noticed..

its it an rvr motor, a galant motor an evo motor ect ect.....
what i want to know is what this engine came out of this and should I swap the cams from my 5 speed usdm 95 gsx ,throttle bodie ect.....

any other helfull hints i pulled the old motor out today so prep work is underway, i play on putting my usdm exhaust manifold turbo ect on, usdm intakemanifold and fuel rail/injectors, change the waterjackets over, and the power steering and alternator brackets, coil packs to the jdm engine

pictures will describe more , btw the red top are all galant vr4's 6bolt
 
You got an automatic turbo motor there with a small 13B turbo (180hp stock) and the two bluetops should be black since the auto turbo used blacktop 390cc injectors. bluetops are 450cc injectors made for the manual tranny. I'd find a 14B to match the 450cc injectors to get more stock HP.

...or, just the redtop cover from a VR4 sitting on a 7bolt that the motor came from a mitz..for VR4 motors have diff motor mounts setups and incompatible with DSM's.
