I’ve been hunting around trying to decide where i wanna buy my engine from and this spring and i would like to get some people’s personal opinions on what they got and who they got it from. Experiences, bad or good, lets hear em.
Right now i’m leaning towards JDMSource, but their long blocks come with no turbo’s or IC’s from the looks of it. So did you you get just the engine, full engine/tranny/etc., or front clips?
i got my 1jz from jdmsource and it came with everything, turbo’s, ignitor chip, ecu, harness, tranny. . .
Got my rb25 from jdmsource. Bought it as a motor set (ps,a/c,ecu, harenesses,turbo, etc.), no ic stuff though (didn’t really care because I was going fmic anyway).
Would buy from them again. Good service, started first try, and still runs like a dream. :partyman:
Another nod to Shoaib at JDM source, great service, great prices and quality motors. I know some of his motors have all the intercooler piping etc but ask to make sure.
auto dream…
did you ask where they got it ? probably JDMSource
why tho?

They do not buy from them. If they did it was a long time ago. They have other sources at the moment.
The anwser to your question isnt where to go, its who has what your looking for. SR20’s ect are getting harder to find. Used to be dime a duzzon but they are a dieing breed in Japan. Not as common as they once used to be and recycle fees ect are dubble the price it used to be a year and a half ago. I wont be suprised a price hike on our side shortly and its already getting hard to buy them. I bid on RB25’s and SR cars every week and loose the bid’s every time cuz the stuff is getting expensive and harder to find.
i got mine from out east Tiger japanese out of Toronto … was missing rad hoses and they mangled the harness, other than that it was a good purchase and it took about a week to get here from toronto … engine performs well ive had it now for maybe 2 months or less
