I got the car back from a local JDM shop
they swapped my problematic H6 for a JDM engine

car is ok, something probably broke on the exhaust line it's noisy a lot
also have a chirping noise that was not there before

they kept my old ac compressor but used the JDM power steering pump and alternator
I forgot to check if they reused the JDM intake manifold

first feeling while driving is that the car feels sluggish

sounds like the bearing of the acc belt would be the problem

I pushed the engine on the highway tonight, going 150 Km/h no problem
engine redline at 6000+ rpm my older one was gutless pass 5500

the newer engine loves to high rev
I spoke to the mechanic who did the swap
he used pretty much everything from the JDM engine , intake manifold, wiring harness, all the sensors, coil packs, only the ac compressor was my old one
he said my PS fluid overheated and was too thick and my old pump was weak I need to flush the liquid ASAP the noise is coming from the JDM pump
I will do that this weekend
