Where to get Jspec........
This probably has been covered before but i have searched and tried a couple places with no luck. I havent really found these places that some speak of with 3-6 month warranty's and something on paper showing the compression info (which may be iffy but better then nothing)
So far ive tried
Nippon Motors- Called and they said they had 2 in and compression #'ers are usually around 70-80psi
I dont know but that seems a little lower then what i'd like. I'll call tomorrow when they find out the comression.
Toysport- Only had a 20B
Japan Direct- only had a shortblock rebuilt for 1550. They dont think they'll be receiving very many S4/S5 engines anymore because its becoming more and more difficult to find usuable/sellable blocks.
FC3S.org-Spoke and met up with Dave, really helpful guys with some excellent products. Only thing keeping me from buying is they're a bit iffy on what accessories are included which is beyond their control.
So do you guys have any suggestions on where else I can try? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip RX7withNitrous, but its coming up that the username is invalid.
I forgot to mention corksport. Ive dealt with Ben and Derek before picking up other products from them and it was excellent service but I think purchasing a jspec with no warranty is too much of a risk for me at this point.

2. No warranty is offered on Mazda rotary, diesel, high performance and racing engine. Racing engines are not street legal.
That statement makes it a little suspect

Gave Jspecjdm.com a call but no answer.
I tried going to liberusa.com but didnt work. They did have a geocities site by that name but it was under construction.
But I think I found an engine.............
Thanks for all the help guys

And shipping was only like $125...
I have seen S4 blocks go as cheap as ~$550 before. S5 vblocks usually go for ~$750.

I stand corrected: Here are the correct websites:
http://www.recycler.com/com/liberousa/default.htm
http://www.liberousa.net THIS LINK IS PARTIALLY FUBAR
LIBERO U.S.A., INC
(800) 717-6194
(310) 715-6194
Just got off the phone with them: New shipment arriving next week, S4 TII's are 650.00 + ~170 shipping CA to SC
As always:
RANT ON! JSPEC's ARE NOT MAGICALLY HIGH HP ENGINES, THEY ARE A GOOD BASE CORE FOR DOING A REBUILD.
