Linky no worky. I'm in the market for an RB, so I would like to check that site out.

Looks like a good piece, though. Looks solid!

[judomaster]

I believe that he got the motor from http://www.tigerjapanese.com and that's why the link isn't working.

[fairzdrift]

lol no i dident those guys are a rip off they wanted to charge me extra for harness and ecu like 600 extra and then shipping

i bought it from toronto jdm there site is down for repairs right now thats the reason its not work

http://www.torontojdm.com is there website ill find the phone number on there bill and post it up they were awesome to me allthough ive seen negative press online i dont know one pissed off honda guy whatever i had a good experience and the motor is clean enuff to eat off of

[fairzdrift]

(416)285-0223 here is there phone number

karim and robert are the guys i delt with

they worked with me every step of the way

tell them john stoner sent you hopefully it will get you a discount or something mine was 2850 shipped to michigan complete

[Jimefam]

Did you get the rb25 transmission as well?

[imotion s14]

i always wondered if I paid too much for my front clip, now i know I got it pretty damn cheap. Thanks guys.

[fairzdrift]

yeah complete with engine transmission and everything needed the ****ty part is were the wiring harness runs to the alternator is cut i dident notice it before cause its kinda outa the way what with the alternator being on the lower left side if your facing the engine

[fairzdrift]

yah did u get the transmission??? 2850 seems to be the going rate for a twenty fizzle

two of my friends got engines for tiger japanese one being a vg30TTand the other being an rb20.

the vg that my friend john got came with a mines ecu and brand new turbos. he hasnt installed it yet but it looks good, all the vac hose's and **** all looked fresh.the rb20 that they got is currently in and runs like a champ. i dont member what he paid for it but it wasnt expensive at all, and they had like 10 of them in stock

im glad you had a good XP the trick with them i found is there prices seem cheaper untill you factor in that they dont include your ecu or harness in the price quotes for the rb engines atleast and when you ask for them they say or yeah another 200 for harness and another 300 for the ecu and that makes them the same price as everyone else so thats why i dident go with them something wierd about that to me but now im wondering they promised me a uncut harness and plain as day its sawed in half at the alternator probebly a easy fix i hope

[fairzdrift]

so these guys proved to me again how awsome they are they contacted me imediatly by phone the second they got the email and asked me for my address to mail another harness there awsome i have no complaints i dont even know y i was worried

[meet07]

Yeah karim is a great salesman. Very good with his customer service as well. I talked to him about purchasing a rb20 about a month in a half ago. Then I decided to go the 25 route. I ordered an engine from tiger japanese and wasnt pleased. Came with rtv on the valve covers,oil in turbo,blue silicone hose on the wastegate,no clucth slave cylinder,dented oil pan and hks coupler on the bov cold pipe. I returned it and waited for a new shipment. Shipment came in about 3 weeks later. 2 motor/transmission/ecu's came in with no harness. I asked them to remove the harness off the returned motor and they said it was fine. Called yesterday and they changed there minds so now im pissed and got a refund. Im taking my buisness elsewhere.

And tiger is the number one jdm engine supplier in all of north america

i got my motor from them and it came with alot of broken stuff on it....came with everything and ended up being a good motor but packaged very poorly for shipping.But for 1100$ shipped I was fine with it haahah.

[meet07]

Seems like no matter where you get your JDM engine from it comes with damaged and broken parts. Thats the suxy part about the whole deal.

[mxkid54]

You will love the Syko mount kit. Very nice. Also I will recomend their wiring and intercooler piping kit. Their customer service is awesome.

[fairzdrift]

Thats just the thing though mine dident which means you should buy from them

[mattleegee]

so are you going to reuse that excedy clutch?

i just got mine a couple days ago, and it came with one also, the guys from the local shop i bought it from said i could roll it since it was probably new

i dont know though

keep us updated!im waiting on my water pump/oil pump/oil pan/gaskets/ and other stuff to come in so i can drop her in

[Hari]

This subforum is giving me ideas...

[fairzdrift]

im probebly going to do the usual

and do drive belt clutch oil/water pumps and im going to do some gaskits maybe a greddy manifold

cause then IC Piping would be easy

i dont know i havent taken it apart to check the deal with the clutch disk i do know that its a stock pressure plate though so im not surethe engine is clean as hell though i could eat off it
