replacement engine

plaaya69 · 05-27-2007, 05:24 AM

I had bought a JDM turbo motor from ebaymotors and I had paid $990 for it shipped and I did and did not like the motor. They said that they do a compression and leak down test but I think that was BS.

The good about my motor-everything looked new, cylinder head had pretty much no wear, you can tell that it had very low miles, sensors was in good condition.

The bad about my motor- motor had a BHG, pitting around the coolant passages and I had to switch some sensors, install the EGR and stuff, switch the throttle body's

but over all I did part out my old turbo motor and I made all of my money back+ some more and now im in the process of rebuilding my JDM motor.

I bought mu 1JZ clip from ebay took a while to get here and some other costs that I wasnt told about but it runs awsome. Other problem is the shipping company damaged the intercooler so now I am waiting till the guy gets me a new intercooler. other than that good experience.
