Stay away from them. They are terrible to do buisness with. My motor was the wrong series and blown. They then wouldnt deal with it. Luckly i paid through paypal and got my money back and kept the motor. I know that vrracing has a thread about his that wouldnt even give him a puff out of the rear rotor i believe.

Utilize the "Search" feature at the top right of the page. If nothing comes up then just PM JDM12a about it.

I did a google search and got this:
http://www.sunrisemotorsports.com/

I don't think that is what you are looking for though, unless they don't post about JDM engine on their site.

if you dont particularly care if its JDM or USDM, kevin landers (rotary resurrection) sometimes collects sets of the parts needed to do TII swaps into NA's, maybe see if he has anything. He usually posts stuff like that up in the 2nd gen parts section

Do they account for the Japanese harness being different?

Do they give you a rear end?

I hope it's a front clip, at least to get you a few sensors, afm.

I doubt it's hardly complete.

Not on their site. They dont include the rear end at all so I should have specified that. My bad. I was intending on if anyone has ordered their [partial] swap from them and how reliable they are/were with their transaction.

They're alright, occasionally a little spendy though.
