AZ looking for a GOOD jdm engine importer.

Looking for someone that can point me to a company that sells good quality JDM 13b.

I m looking for someone that has bought one or more engines that have broke it down and rebuilt it or that has broke them down and had a good motor.

I'm just a little nervous about buying a motor and It being a pile sh7t.

I'm just looking for a good JDM company that won't f7ck me and has good quality rotary motors that I can trust to breaking down and rebuilding up.

Thanks!

Im not sure who is a good engine importer but I can tell you to stay away from TigerJapanese, all Ive heard about them is negative things like rusted internals

why do you want a jdm engine? just find a blown one on here or craigslist and rebuild it. no matter who you get your m4djdm engine from, you will still want to rebuild it anyway.

if J2LA can't get you one you might be SOL, they are getting quite hard to find in good condition. all the good tested ones have dried up.

best you can do is have one pieced together or find a used motor for sale.

and yes, stay away from tigerjapanese whatever you do.

the reason I was thinking JDM was because of whats all there for the price.
I was also planning on pulling the motor apart and porting it with new seals.

Im starting to notice that theres a lot of people selling turbo motors and whatever else for pretty decent prices.

I've heard good things about jdm motors people have and rebuild, plus its all or most if it there and I don't have to hunt as hard for misc item's, as long as the internals are in good shape.
