Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the boston, ma area to work on my sr20det. I have used various mechanics , but I have yet to find one that was reliable and honest. I have had many bad experiences with the mechanics that i have used. I am willing to travel outside of boston but I would like to stay in Mass. If anyone can recommend me a good reliable mechanic , please let me know...Thanks

Stop looking for mechanics and start searching for a speed shop. Your labor rate will be a good bit higher, but you'll know it's in a whole lot better hands.

Google found this one:

331 Belgrade Avenue
Roslindale, MA 02131-2757
(617) 327-1880

I'd call and ask if they deal with imports, and then before taking your car to them, take a drive over and see the shop. Maybe start some friendly conversations with a couple of the workers (if they're not busy of course. Don't interrupt their work) and get a feel for their knowledge and how they do handle things. (Are they a shop that takes shortcuts or do they do everything the right way the first time so it doesn't have to be done again?)

Hatchirokus themselves are rare. His is almost complete from a complete frame-off restore/rebuild/engine swap
