The eaisies way would be to look for the emissions equipment, the Japanese motors didn't come loaded down with them like the US spec ones, and its usually pretty easy to tell if they've just been removed and blocked off. Also the intercoolers are different, one says like "rotary turbo" and the other says "turbo rotary" or some similar small change. Now that being said none of this means it wasn't a Japanese motor, that had something wrong with it. Your best bet is to go through a reputable dealer, might spend more money, but sometimes its worth it.
