I think Fixer mentioned this a while back and it's a good question.

Some dyno results done in the US from a stock Euro would be great.

It could also be how ricers get all giddy over J-Spec engines having more HP over US versions. Add in the ultra high octane needed for those J-Spec engines and it becomes a mythical holy grail item they all dream of importing some day.
Seems impressive until you notice they use Newtons for their torque calculations. Change things around and the HP becomes the same or less than the US version as Japan has even stricter emissions requirements than the US.
And the super high octane requirement? Different calculations again. Their 98 RON would be about equal to our 93.
