Hi all. I would like to use this thread to chronograph my experience with buying an SR20DET from an online seller and provider overall feedback about my interactions with each one - as well as hopefully feedback once I do buy the motor. I started looking last week and no motor has been bought. I will update this thread as things develop. ALL FEEDBACK IS ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGED AND WELCOMED.

This is not a build thread.

A bit of history: I have a 1972 BMW 2002tii into which I would like to swap an SR20DET (s15).

The online vendors that I have found thus far and my status of communications: The eBay vendors that I have found thus far and my status of communications (these may be repetitive of the ones above):
  • md_jdm_motors >>>emailed 6/14, nothing at this time, try next month
    jdm_world2008 >>>emailed 6/14, Chris can do for $3,100 shipped, asked for tests and pics
    jdmenginescorp >>>emailed 6/14, nothing at this time, try next month, David
    torontojdm/Total-JDM/Torontojdm.com >>>emailed 6/14, have a few in stock, Karim, asked for tests and pics
    jdm-rhd-auto >>>emailed 6/23, asked for tests and pics
    jdmnewyork >>>emailed 6/23, asked for tests and pics
    japangeneralmotors >>>emailed 6/23, asked for tests and pics
    dallasjdmmotors >>>emailed 6/23, asked for tests and pics
With all my inquires, Im asking for availability, price, compression and leakdown test results and any pictures or videos they may have doing the tests.
