I'd be very skeptical.

Why not hit up one of our tried-and-true motorset sponsors?

We have 3 to choose from.

Rims and Things is terrible, they take way too long to ship stuff out to you and never respond to e-mails. Steer clear of them at all costs... This is from experience!!!

If you choose to do business with them, make sure you keep documents from your funds transfer, they took me for 1500 claiming I never paid them, although I deposited right into their account.

Ummm, we already gave you an answer. No need to keep bringing up shady little importers and asking us if they're any good.

Not wanting to be rude, but no sense trying to take a shortcut here.

never bought a motor from JHOT but have done and will continue business with them on multiple occasions and they do more than expected when it comes to customer service.

i have sent an email to gabe at jhot and he responds to emails VERY fast. they do not currently have a rb25 motorset but he is tryin to find me one. Now thats customer service. Venus auto has a motorset that they would sell to me for 2500 shipped with maf and ignitor. but i think ima wait on Jhot to see what they can do for me. Heres some pics of the motor from venus. Tell me what you guys think since this is my first time buying a motor. compression test results were 200psi on every cylinder and it passed the leak down test
