anybody ever buy from tigerjapanese
are they a good good company to deal with

i mean they list 3 different (fwd) sr20det's

one is like 1000
one is 800
and one is 650

650 for a turbo motor? thats a pretty damn good deal if they are a good company

It appears to be hit & miss proposition recently... Here is a long thread showing what people are getting...

I'm a little confused as to why the cheaper two of those engines are listed as coming from G20 though?? Maybe I'm missing something..

I read that entire thread and it seems that most of the problems people have gotten are minor things that can be fixed, and in most of the bad cases the company replaced the engine (like the one with rod knock and a few others). There were only maybe a few people who really god unlucky.. I think for the price I would go with them and hope for the best. If money is an issue that is. Otherwise it might be best to go with something you can be more sure of.

if you go to [url]www.jdmtigerjapanese.com[/url]
when you click the bb motor you can add the wire harness and ecu for 150 each

and that makes the motor shipped with everything i want and need
$400 less than the motor i was gonna buy that had no harness/ecu


so this is probably the route i'm gonna take

It's really hit or miss with these guys. Make sure you have a spare fuel rail because that is where they like to strap it!

I personally know at least 3 people who got bad engines. Scrap metal. Blown turbo and head gasket. Absolutely zero help from TJ.
