Thread: Got Scammed by member GRIM (Kevin Edwards)

I am getting really tired of your comments. These are only enforcing scammers to work more freely on this forum.

LET ME CLEAR THINGS UP TO YOU, HOPEFULLY THIS TIME YOU GET THE POINT.

A full complete SR20DET FWD engine price range goes between 850-1200 shipped in excellent shape (no tranny, no starter). These are real life prices not the ones you may think they are.


My last SR20DET W10 I bought from an sr20forum member cost me $900 shipped. But difference is that it was complete, unopened from top to bottom ready to make the swap. Had distribuitor, alternartor, ac compressor, wires, injectors, TURBO with everything... and guess what? Worked like a champ, zero issues.

The engine Kevin sent me is an engine without wires, no distribuitor, NO TURBO, no inyectors, no rail, no fpr, except block and head incomplete as I already described before..
I PAID HIM A TOTAL OF 690 dlls

Do your own math....
900-690 = 210

Full turbo T25 BB (Avenir W11) including O2 housing + stock injectors + fpr + distribuitor + all missing stuff worths ONLY 210 dlls? I REALLY DON'T THINK SO

Now, with this explanation:

Do you still think I paid for a bargain or was it just a fair price? PLEASE THINK OF IT.


Remember that I paid for a good condition W11 SR20DET engine that I asked first and I was told it was in excellent condition by a forum member that already had 3 positive feedback.

I got scammed paid for it and got a damage one with a broken piston.

Now about your sue... I am currently living in Mexico so it's not possible for me to do so at the moment this is why I am asking for help here in this great forum.

I really regret doing bussiness with Grim as I also was working a deal with other 2 members at the very same price of 500 dlls per SR20DET engine (block + head both complete) but I stay with Grim as he was first to respond to my pms.

CAN PLEASE ANYONE CALL KEVIN AND LET HIM KNOW HE STILL OWES ME $425 dlls?

Not counting honing labor cost + other extras that I have to pay for.

...I beg to differ.... when the piston goes up you'll lose compression a little and get blow by. There will be oil going past the compression rin in that tiny littl groove, and more than likely you will notice your dip stick blowing out. But ya, it'll run, just like an american hot rod V8 would built by that machine shop.

hell if thats the case bore it out to 88mm

Do you realize you are both blaming the victim and calling him stupid?

Do you realize what a jackass you really are?


Now you want to preach to the man who got ripped off? The Buyer did not make any mistakes. A scumbag low-life thief ripped him off. That occassionally happens to good folks through no fault of their own.

You are a pathetic peice of work. Too bad your being banned did not stick.

i totally agree hes not even supposed to be replying to this thread anymore. there acting likes it is ok to rip someone off wtf. they must be really stupid like u said

i sent him a message on fb

Well, on first instance I thought the same but expert said this was ok. The only way we can know this was ok or not is until I drive it 1000 miles or so and do a compression test, which I will do my friends and let you know

I like to share my experiencies with my friend at forums.

This is the guy (my friend Sergio) that helped me lots during the repair process. He is a dodge guy but now he is dodge//nissan hahahaha




He looks happy justs fooling around with a new headgasket... probably he was thinking "and everything started with another piece like you"



This is the used piston that replaced the broken one





And I took the opportunity to show you where pyrometer was installed on cyl #2

Hopefully he answers you.

Let me show you something kid:
Tiger Japanese - Home That is a COMPLETE engine, and for $795 from a "reputable" seller online. Note that it includes the intake manifold, all wiring, exhaust manifold with turbo, etc.

What this means to you? YOU'VE been ripped off. If you honestly think paying $1200 for a motor without manifold/turbo/etc. is a good deal, I've got a bare head and bottom end I'll sell you for $500 shipped. All you need to do is add crank, pistons, rods, and all components for the head including valves, valvesprings, cams, camgears, HLA's, etc.

Again, you're a fucking toolbag, and you're very lucky I've stepped down as a moderator. This is not a section where you can freely sharpshoot the victim of a transaction-gone-bad.

PLEASE stop posting in this thread. You have nothing to add in terms of value, so STFU.
