Check out these sites. I've heard some good things about them. Only thing is you gotta pay shipping from Canada. Seems most places for TII egines are in Canada. I've been looking like crazy for a S5 complete swap, and they all turn up in Canada. Getting ready to buy mine soon. These sites are what I'm considering.

Where ever you decide to get your motor from, post up and let us know how it was and if you were satisfied with the motor.

i talked with "nes" from jdmonline.com they told me they don't have any instock. Maybe next week.I then asked, "How can I have peice of mind that you will be sending me 1. A good engine? He said that since they don't warrenty their rotory engine, "because there so fragile". He is going to take lots of close up pictures and also a video. I then replyed but how can I be sure that the engine you start is going to be the same one your going to send? He countered with, "In the close up pictures you will also see a serial number."

I told him that I am a member of the largest RX7 club in the world, rx7club.com. And that when we get a bad shipper all the red flags go up. It just so happends that I mentioned the case above with osakajdmmotors.com. He said that good and you will that we have good engines because they get compression tested and you will also receive a print out of the compression test.

..humm..

I know that for jspecautosports to send me an engine swap its going to cost me 250 for shipping. I am going to give royaljapanesemotors.com a call later and see what they have to offer.

Thats where I got my engine from, I haven't started it yet, but my swap is almost complete, so I'll know if it runs in the next few weeks. Just a word of caution about that site, be sure to ask for pics of the engine first, cause that enging pictured there is the one I have! The blue alternator pulley is the tip off. I'm sure they have one in stock, but the one pictured is now living in my 83
Hmm, they upped the price $100 as well... Mine came out to about 1350 with shipping to NJ in case anyone was curious...
