There is a member here, Japan2la that imports JDM turbo engines. I got one from him, and its still running strong. He has an excellent reputation here on the rx7club.

Yes there are success stories of buying JDM motors and just dropping them in without a rebuild.
However, the motor is out of the car already and with mileage unknown and no idea of what the motor had been through prior to you receiving it a rebuild is recommended.

I bought a totaled complete TII and the guy at the yard had the motor running. I decided to have it rebuilt anyway and it turned out that one of the seals was shot, along with the housing. So, beware.
