What is the Best site to buy a motor swap? I've heard of; Tiger Japanese, JDM Tiger Japanese, JDM Engine Depot, and Jspec. But I need a place that is reliable and best for my (Very low) buck.

So lets hear the Ideas. I need either an SR20DET, or an RB25DET.

I got my motor from osuckajdmmotors.

Ive heard lots of bad things about them, but my motor was perfect, and runs strong as hell, same compression across 1-6

haha I know. Today was the first time I tried to use it. I was like wtf?

I'd be really worried buying from some of these companies. I thought I had really good luck, and I still dropped top dollar on a P2M engine. It has some mysterious problem that I can't pinpoint. It's a severe PITA, but if I didn't have P2Ms customer service on my side I'd be screwed. I do wish I saved a little money though. Good luck.

low funds and engine swaps don't go hand in hand.
