1 motor i got had weak compression on the rear rotor, it lasted around 4,000 miles.

2nd motor ive gotten from overseas has great compression and is running strong in my car after 6k or so.

i am running a JDM TII as well, i have had no problems with it what so ever. Like people have said its luck of the draw basiclly, you might get a good one you might get a bad one, expecially going from ebay i dont know if i would trust it , i would go threw maby corksport.com or atkinsrotary.com they might be alittle more spending but im pretty sure they do compression tests.

yes that guy is a good seller. i bought my s4 turboII motor from him in january and since ive started it has ran just fine. They actually do tes there motors before shipping them out and u get a 15 day warranty on rotaries. That seller is the guy that runs sunrisejdmmotors. they are in canada i personally drove up myself to get mine because i dont trust shipping and wanted to make sure that they were for real and not ripping me off. email them, they are good guys but they are cajun with thick accents so hard to understand over phone unless u can speak french like i can.

damn i feel like a sales men for that company i just got done writing a long post to another guy about them too.. . . .damn
