So since japan2LA got banned and he was the go to for jdm engines, where are people purchasing from with success?

 

The older these engines get the more it's a crap shoot. No one buys an imported engine anymore expecting it to be good. A lot of them don't even have usable parts. This has been covered a lot and you're bound to have the same people throw their two cents in and say "I bought an engine from x and it's been running great for x amount of time". Good for them, they're the minority by a landslide.

 

A "minority landslide" sounds like a Republican's worst nightmare.

 

I just go to a Car meet as a passenger..
Pick a nice car that runs,jimmy the lock and "poof"..I got me a nice engine!
Don't tell anyone..(I won't get a ride next time!)

If I had to grab an engine I'd be looking around on here,seriously.
I trust the guys here more than picking one up from a JDM shop.
..and IF I had a bad engine,I'd just get the damn thing rebuilt.At least you know the parts would be new.

 

Just buy an entire car from Japan and sell whatever you don't use

 

Im missing pretty much an entire engine and all the components! Does anyone know of any companies that sell successful jdm rotary stories?
