Might want to wait for someone to post about getting a Jspec engine. I don't know anywhere else besides a junk yard. You also might want to get a hold of some of the rotary shops. Who knows what they've got lying around.

how much do you want to spend on a blown motor? I just destroyed my 89TII. I'm sure it can be rebuilt, but i'd rather just go to pineapple racing and pick up a complete unit.

Problem with buying a blown motor, is that the housing and rotor of which the seal blows, is completely destroyed, IE not machinable, not re-useable, junk. My front rotor is completely gone, 0psi, because I was a dumbass having too much fun @ 20psi on the stock turbo. The rear has 100psi on all faces. My plan is to part out everything useable if it is within tolerable spec. The front rotor housing will be thrown away, and the front rotor I will turn into an ashtray.

If you'd like to buy something specific, let me know, but I would advise against buying a "blown" engine.
