Sure you want to trust a site that says their rotary engines come complete with heads and cam angle sensors?

PM Japan2LA for guaranteed good condition motors.

I'm guessing you haven't done any research on a 20B swap.

No exact milage
No warranty
No compression test verified
It includes a head? Like a shrunken head?
Theres a cam?

Engine could be a dud. I would want a little more info to make me feel confident.

the S4 TII also was rated 20 horsepower less than they have it rated at, not like it matters because the engine is used and already won't have near stock HP levels.

20B swap easier than a TII?

If you have to ask, you have no business attempting it.

Weren't J-spec 7's rated a little higher? I've heard 205hp for s5's and 215hp for the Infini IV but I have no tech brochures that prove it.
