Looking to buy 20v Blacktop from REPUTABLE importer

Postby Snotcycle » Sat Jun 07, 2014 4:34 pm

Hey guys my 16v in my zenki GTS coupe blew up after 290k miles so now its time to do the blacktop swap I've always wanted.

I have been looking at different engine sellers all over the inter-webs and keep coming to the same issue that none of them have stalwart reputations for a) good motors, and b) customer service.
A lot of the reviews i have found were from 2007 and before so its hard to gauge what the JDM motor import market is like these days.

I need a 20v BT with ECU and harness.

Does anybody have any recommendations for companies they trust?

Jdmhookup is our local importer, only buys running cars and pulls them apart. Standard 30 day warranty but he backs his parts up if say you got a bad igniter. Doesn't do much 86 stuff unless you ask him and put down a deposit, so waiting on the next container would be the downside

Just called JDMhookup and they dont have any coming for months possibly.

I am looking at a motor on Ebay from Naganousa but i have done some research and found very questionable results from them. I am wondering if with ebay buyer protection on my side it might be safe to try and get one from them.

The whole reason i am in a hurry is i have to move in less than 3 months so i need to get this 'rolla rolling.
