What's the difference? Depends on who you ask. Some people say that it has higher compression (9.5 vs 9.0/8.8), but I doubt it. Some say the cams are different. Again, I doubt it. I think the only differences are in timing and A/F ratios. The US Protege is tuned very conservatively, especially compared with Japanese and European versions, owing mostly to the varying and dismal quality of US gas.
Ask Braden about his tuning experience with his NA engine. I think he found as much HP as is missing between US and JDM engines (125 vs 130-135) just by playing with the spark and A/F ratios (mostly spark, IIRC).
