Used JDM engines are a great way to get a lot of parts really cheap. Just don't expect to drop it right in the car and fire it up - buy it as a bunch of parts.
It would be a great way to get an engine for a car with a rolling chassis and NO engine, this way you aren't trying to track down manifolds, brackets, little odds and ends.
I've bought 2 FD's engines many moons ago and a few FC engines back in the day. I got my money's worth and got a lot of great parts.
Just plan on rebuilding that motor when you get it and don't be disappointed if it's rusted junk inside. But, you might get a mint one, if so congrats

This seems to be a clean example. With the Efini Y-pipe and later Alt/Engine Pick up bracket it likely has 99 Spec twins on this setup as well.

Yeah, It would be nice if sellers would take the turbos off and take a picture through the exhaust port. Or hook a battery to the starter and get some compression numbers.... Or provided some sort of warranty... but I suppose we ask too much for $3400. I'm not sure if a parted out ebay motor is even worth that much money. What is a mint sent used housings worth right now? I saw a new old stock set on ebay for $2000!

'96 was the first year of the black box. That means the ECU harness is pretty much not usable in a US car without a LOT of work, also means the rat's nest and many other parts aren't useable.
A 94 or 95 engine is really IMHO the sweet spot for a JDM motor - hopefully get the N3C1 turbos, have a wiring harness you can use, rat's nest and solenoids you can use, etc. But it also depends on what you are wanting from the motor itself, again you're buying a collection of parts.

I just looked back into my e-mails to see how much I spent on one from "JDM Engine Corp" on e-bay. (June 2013)
I paid $1500 shipped for a complete engine, trans, wiring harness, ecu... everything.
5 years later... still running!
(Edit)
I just decided to look them up on e-bay again.
Sure enough... look at that price now. $4,300!
