#Jdm engine zone how to#
Im leaning towards getting a used jdm engine again but im not sure how to go about finding a trustworthy importer. I fear getting an engine that had "good compression" and being one of the horror stories ive read about with blown headgaskets, leaking turbo seals, etc. My concern is taking steps backwards here. Ive checked ebay and contacted importers who i can get an engine from for around $2,000. I do have a local importer i can go pick one out from but he only sells complete swaps with R154 trans for $4300. My concern here is getting a good engine by itself. This wont be cheap but in this case id run the engine stock off of the factory ecu (stock twins and injectors). My second option is to get another used Jdm engine. My concerns here are first that it will be costly, second it will require an immediate tune before i start it up to be sure the new engine is properly broken in, and third there are no great tuners here in missouri that i know i can trust. In this case ill be keeping the single turbo and immediately upgrading to a stand alone ecu. Im trying to decide whether to get a new usdm shortblock from toyota and redo the current head. It does have a single turbo and 750cc injectors but was tuned on a piggyback rather than a standalone. I purchased it with a rod knocking so the engine is no good. Long story short, i got what I think is a good deal on a 95 NA supra that was swapped with a JDM 2jzgte engine. Ill explain my situation then my options here, then bring the conversation to the title of my thread. All good but still the engine should not have been beat to shit on the outside and be all rusted to hell with the hole punched in the cover.First, of all I apologize for making various threads related to this subject Im just not comfortable with my conclusions thus far. They don't warranty it tho it's considered a gift. If I swap the intake fuel rain and dizzy over and make adaptors for the injectors when vtec engages I'll run lean af with out a tune causing more issues so they need to send it with the required parts. I wish I could just swap over the parts and run it but my intake, tb, injectors, dizzy, valve cover, iacv are all different. In the past 12 month they have 18 bbb reports of the same issue I'm haveing right now. This company had been in business 18 years. I was so mad I didn't want to explain all of this over again. On top of all this the engine I received pics of is not the engine I received. 4 month watenty as long as I change timing an water pump. But the valve cover on the f23a isn't the same as a f22b2. They also busted off sensors and some other things witch won't be covered I could care less some parts on my engine will work. That day I called then they said they will replace it and oay for shipping now I hear nothing back. The shipping company won't take responsibility for dmg for some reason even tho they dropped it in the concrete and broke a quite thick pallet. The engine is claimed to be low mile and everything from pan to valve cover in good working condition. The engine should nit have damage and the oil pan doesn't just have a small dent it's several big dens to where it will leak. I'm going obd2a to obd2b I have a new harness and ecu.
