remember most Jspec engine have been sitting in the back of a junkyard for the last 10 years, and will probably need rebuilding before installing it into a working car.

I got a Jspec core for $600.

Like Ice said. They are 12-16 yrs old and have sat like that for a while. Rarely does a car get parted out for no reason. The engines shoudl be rebuilt once you get them.

Mine had a bad front plate,and rotor.
The turbo was FUBAR and took some time to get the parts to get it all together.

Well I got mine at Rotaryworks from shane, excellent motor. It smoked to beat hell when I first got it going it smoked bad for like 10 min. Then I drove it and it quit smoking now it never smokes at start up or anything. It was kinda scary until it quit smoking I was thinking man I got a bad motor, but I have heard these engines are weird after sitting so maybe thats why it smoked. Either way I was pleased with my Jspec from RotaryWorks.
