Dont buy offline because 99% of the time u will get screwed. If you dont wanna wait u can prob call Jim at JPR imports in Blackwood, NJ. i dont know if he has one over there but im pretty sure he could get one. What year and model car is this going into?

we buy alot of our motors for work thru jdmtigerjapanese.com...the last couple jspec motor installs we did ended up great...great compression...runs good....that dont mean that in a couple months it could have coolant seal failure

Suprised to hear KDR buying and installing jspecs. What would you say the ratio for good and bad motors have been through Tiger?

I picked up my motor a few years ago from Nippon Motors. It started right up and making great power, but I don't think they deal with 2 rotors anymore. Maybe give them a call? http://www.nippon-motors.com/

Jim over at JPR imports will definetly have parts you need to swap the car.

I would also suggest JPR as well. My friend had him do the work on his fc, great guys.

budfc3s · 03-14-2010, 05:38 PM

usually customers buy the motors and bring them to us to do the install...mainly turbo2 swaps...thru tiger in the past 2 years we did about 15 jspecs 2 or 3 werent good...its a gamble when dealing with a jspec rotary engine but out of every jspec place we got motors from tiger was the best so far...its nice from tiger too cause they usally send the coils and the boost sensor with the motor.

I got a **** motor from tiger, they completely lied about compression numbers and would not return any calls or emails. I hate tigerjapanese and i hope they go out of business some time soon, but i doubt thats gonna happen.

i bought my jspec 5 years ago from jspecauto.com.....they did the same thing...lied about compression and wouldnt return my calls or emails....i had to rebuild the motor it was complete junk
