Im looking to do a TII swap into my n/a and the place where i was going to get my engine only has rebuidable cores.So wheres a reputable place to purchase a JDM TII engine so i can finish my swap.


Thanks
jake

 

A j-spec is basically that, a rebuildable core.

Its the equavalent of a JUNKYARD motor. Its a gamble.

 

bit of a oxymoron... a good Jspec engine.

 

Sometimes there are warrantied imported 13Bs on ebay... just a thought...

 

Or you can just rebuild yours like how you like... that would be more reasonable probably...

 

Good J-Spec...lol. Anyway, try Tiger Japanese. You can find a lot of importers just by googling. Regardless of where you buy it, you're gonna have to rebuilt it anyway.

 

this thread is funny....

 

warrentied to start... not to be good

 

All im lookin for is companys that import 13bt's,and another question.Can i use my s4 flywheel and intake on a cosmo motor.Just wondering

 

Transmission
The Cosmo 13B-RE bolts onto the stock FC transmission with no problem. The Cosmo 13B-RE only comes with an automatic transmission option, so it will most likely have a counterweight and flexplate attached; if your engine did not come with a counterweight, you can use a Kouki FC3S/FD3S stock flywheel or automatic counterweight. If you are going to use an aftermarket (lightened) flywheel, the automatic counterweight is required. The automatic transmission counterweight makes it easy to install an aftermarket (lightened) flywheel in this case. Be sure to install a new pilot bearing and pilot bearing seal before installing the clutch.
[Lightened flywheel - $400; ACT Heavy Duty clutch kit - $350]

Call Shane at RotaryWorks he warrants them to be good. Even against coolant seals and so on. I got a good Jspec from him

 

i sold many good j specs, it is all about your supplier

 

I got mine from Japanese Engine Land in Stanton, CA.

 

Do you sell them or do you go thriugh someone else.Do you have a number or website i can preview

 

Tahts the thing, i have a light weight flywheel for a 87-88 TII that i got when i did the driveline swap I was wondering if that will fit on a cosmo.Dont mind me here guys im just trying to get all the info i can,iv been workn on n/a's for 4 years.This is all new to me

 

Everyone laughs at buying a JSEPC, but it basically comes to ^^what he said^^
if the supplier is trustworthy then he will at least refund you or get you a good motor. I had no problems with my JSPEC and it still runs very strong! TRUE it is a gamble to buy one and i doubt my next experience will be the same, but if someone is willing to take the chance, then I say help em out. www.japanstarmotor.com. $1000 motor/tranny/turbo/intercooler shipped to your door. he'll pay for return shipping if the motor is bad, thats where i got mine.

 

my supplier packed it up and went back to japan, so i don't have a good source right now

 

Ah, you are right Icemark... I didnt think about that...

 

I contacted rotary works to see what they say, hopefully they get back tome tommrow.Has anyone heard of rotary works, Are they a good company to purchase from

 

I need a tranny!

 

Ive heard of them. They ahve a horrible website, with no information what so ever. I hear you need to call him to see if he has any in stock.

 

I think (dont quote me on this), but i think u need a s5 flywheel, my re motor came with a RB aluminum flywheel, also my ACT clutch for my 87 tii bolted right on to it? BTW why do u wanna use the s4 intake on a cosmo? The cosmo TB is like way ****** bigger, and the manifolds flow a lot ****** better.

 

Whatever you do, do not order your engine from www.jspecautosports.com!!
Absolute **** engines from there, the one i got looked like it was dug up from under the ground! Second one i got since it was warrantied had a blown rear and they would'nt send me another one after that.
