Extremely over priced. $1800 for a first gen QR25DE? $700 for a KA24E? And both are engine only?? Wow.

Very reputable importer in Philly, high quality stuff and a forum vendor here!

But they don't have VG30's or VG33's :O They say that they won't be importing any engines for a while due to the exchange rate.

Got an engine for my friend to replace he old burnt out vg30dett and the new one we got for 1700 was ****. Had piss poor compression and leaked coolant from head gasket.

Any places other than Jspec Auto, JDM Engine Depot, and Elite JDM that you know about?

Engine Zone said they had a 90 warranty. Did you guys get another engine from them?

My buddy just bought a 2jz from them for 1600 and it checked out good. I know another guy that has been making 695 whp in his drag supra that he has been running for three years and he didnt even change the head gasket. I guess it depends on the engine

Nope cause the other two they had in stock at the time were just as bad. All of them needed a rebuild so we sold off the one he bought for 2500 and sent his to the shop for port work and got a new kit off z1

jdmwill · 02-14-2013, 10:36 PM

Elite had a amazing product.. all parts picked by nick himself. Depot and zone are pretty much c and d cars. But I have purchased two sr swaps in tge last year and so far so good.

Just curious but why do poeple buy used import motors over just doing a good build on their current ones?
