I'm ready to buy my swap and was thinking of getting it through jazzproparts.com. What positive or negative experiences have you guys had with this company. Thanks.

2400 for a redtop with everything needed isnt to bad. Unless you can get an ignitor chip and Mass Air and Frount mount for cheaper than 550.

yeah the prices seem really good especially with free shipping. Just curious about the quality of the engines and customer service etc. Thanks.

I would order from Passwordjdm.com. They're having a special right now. $2000 for a full red top front clip, plus shipping, which is around 4-600. They're a pretty reputable business with good customer service. You can also get the blacktop front clip for $2300. They're on special, but I dont know for how long.

Thanks for the input guys, but I am looking for an S14 notchtop for my '96. PasswordJDM wants 3K plus 700 for shipping.......a bit more than I wanted to spend. My car has a redtop with mods, but it is locked up. I bought someone else's headache and now I'm really paying for it. Rather than try to peice that one back together and constantly worry about the apparent shoddy work, I'm gonna put a whole fresh swap into the car.

I just bought mine from jazzproparts in january, i already had a front mount so it was just $1895, it took 15 days for it to get to me. i was skeptical about it but the motor is very clean, i took it apart to put on metal head gasket. cylinders still looked new inside. i am happy with mine so far, so i would recommend them. i can't comment on their customer service cause i didn't need to use it but they were very helpful when i ordered the motor. hopefully this helped, if u have any ?'s just email me.

I just spoke with the guy at Jazzpro on the phone. He said all motors have a 100% start up garrantee and a 30 day warranty on all motors. The turbo itself is not warranted. Sounds like a pretty good deal. Thanks for everyone's input.

No i have not run the engine yet, it is on a engine stand i replaced front and rear main seals. i don't have much time to get it in the car i am still painting the engine compartment. damn school. Also i am waiting on my harness to come back. jazzproparts did say that there is a warranty on the block and head just not the turbo just like brandonlgilbert said.

They also operate as OSAKAJDMMOTORS.COM I got the royal Rip-off from them. Purchased a CA with EVERYTHING as there website tells. Got the engine in, Crank pully cracked, Timingbelt cover nearly riped off, Well butchered wiring harness, no maf, no ignitor, no ECU, DESTROYED turbo (I HAVE NEVER SCEEN A TURBO SO LOCKED IN MY LIFE). Went thru the motor new bearings, gaskets, 3 weeks later it blew a oil pump. NOW shame on me for not replacing the pump.. But still... What I got from them was a ENGINE harness in a box and a so sorry you bought cheap so thats what you get... BUT hey that was my experiance with them.

I got my redtop from Jazz. Not installed yet, but we did install my brothers CA18 from there and so far it has been a great engine. Runs extremely smooth!! Another friend ordered a H22 Honda motor from them and it has been awesome as well. I hope to get mine in sometime in May. S13 > S14 Chassis is alittle harder. We all rec'd our engines roughly a week after ordering it. All engines were shipped out of Osaka Motors out of Canada.
