http://www.japanmotorimport.comany one order from them they look pretty legit. i dont think there rb20s come with the turbo (at least its not listed seperatly) but they look good. im kinda worried cause there prices are so low.

why bother the risk when we have reputable companies right here on NICO?

Your bound to pay for the extra things that are either missing or broken or worse lost in transit (could be the whole engine)...IMO not worth it.

I bought my rb20det from them. The rb20det I received is in beautiful condition. Great compression. No broken sensors, oil pans in great shape...Now for the bad part.-They sent me the wrong ecu dammit! Wtf...it caused so much headache it nearly had me selling my car... I'm glad at the fact that everything on my engine works and that they sell the mafs, ignitor, and gave me an uncut harness...except for the fact that my compressor harness was cut...I would recommend them or jhot importers. Just make sure you read carefully and call to make sure it comes with everything!!!

I wouldn't go that far. They sent me a good swap, but I doubt they test the engines either...The compression numbers they gave me were a little off from what they actually were, my numbers were even better...but I wouldn't trust bad info. If you could spend another 100 dollars go with jhot.

I ordered my motorset from them and love it to this day. Runs strong. Valve train looks brand new too. Awesome customer service!!

Mine came with everything meaning turbo, maf, ecu, transmission, short shifter, and complete uncut harness all for 1100 shipped to my door. I would deal with them again.

Now I'm getting fed up. Heres some email conversation. They are very short in their conversations and just don't trust these people anymore...

After 2 weeks waiting for the damn ecu-I wrote-Aug 23

-Hello, I'm the guy that you sent the wrong ecu to. I originally called you a week and a half ago and spoke to someone about the problem. He told me he would send me the right rb20det ecu the next morning. Then they tells me to ship the rb26dett ecu first ( which cost me 32 dollars, after paying a good 1380 my my engine ). I need my car...I'll send you the tracking number of the ecu being shipped. I'm asking if you would be able to ship out the correct ecu asap. Please call me to reassure that I'm getting the right ecu...there are different rb20det ecu's I need to make sure you're going to send me right one. I could have sold the rb26dett ecu for 200 and have bought my ecu already. Please work with me. Thank you! Phone is 305xxxxxxx-Ivan Arvelo

japan motor-aug 23-first ting in the morining i will shipe your ECU Cod 22Thank you

Yesterday-aug 27 Just checking if you sent the ecu? Please give me a tracking number if possible...

today-aug 2849997568883 http://www.purolator.com

today aug 28That tracking number doesn't exist in their system at this time...I really need the tracking number, please give me the right one. Thank you

Point is they are giving me the run around...I called them and they were very short with me and simply said 'I'm giving it to you now please wait'...They kept me on hold for 5 min till I hung up...

I give them a 2 out of 10....Stick with jarco/jhot/jdm of miami...why go through the headache...

Japan Motor Import is who I talked about.

Remember they are out of Canada so it may take time. I waited about a month and a week before I got my motorset but it was due to shipping service not theirs.

Sucks you have problem with them. At least they are making an attempt I guess.

I dunno. Sometimes tracking numbers don't kick in until the day after the package is sent.
