spark plugs, brand NGK:
leadings: BUR7EQ
trailings: BUR9EQ
just put a known good plug in one plug wire and ground the plug out on the engine or body and crank the engine while observing the plug, repeat for each plug wire to be sure they are all getting spark.
yes the fuel rails feed opposite on the JDM rats nest but as i remember the fuel line positioning at the inlet/outlet is the same as the USpec engines(they just crossover on the JDM rasts nest before the rails iirc).
