Odds of getting a good motor?
Im looking to get a 13BT swap. I heard that usually the motor is dead when it arrives and you need a reubild. So my question is what are the chances of getting a good healthy motor?

You have to assume JDM motors will have bad internals.

7!?!?!?! awesome yea man, its a good idea just to rebuild them right off the bat. |
Well think about it ... There from japan, the main sport is drifting. So they get bagged on, on top of that they sit for a couple years. I'd say 90% chance of needing a rebuild?

^more like 99?
|
about the same as buying one stateside
|
^ for got to add the .9

Bad enough that I would NEVER buy a JDM motor if I didn't already have the money set aside for a rebuild.
|
truth.

i gots one
|
I had one with decent compression, it ran great for about 8 months and then i lost a coolant seal.

funny how people will buy a whole running car and not think another thing of it when the engine dies in a few months or a year, but if they buy a used engine they assume it must have just been a bad engine?
I sold close to 25 JDM motors, most of them are still running to this day. If your plan is to bolt on a larger turbo and run on a crappy home tune beating the piss out of the car then any used engine wont last very long. |
