The price seems about 1500 too high since it's a cut harness and doesn't come with an intercooler or ignitor

usually the intercooler isn't included becasue most engine sets come from wrecked cars and with the stock intercooler being sidemount it is usually crushed in the accident otherwise it could easily get crushed in shipment which makes it useless other than that a lot of companies don't worry about pulling it off the donor car becasue most people won't use it if they are doing a swap. It doesn't have the show factor of a front mount and doesn't flow as well either.

are there actual cases of the intercooler being crushed in shipment or is it just a possiblity. also how much would it cost to get the materials to rig up a frount mount intercooler? (with good quality parts)

Linkage? Axels? I might be an idiot, but is this a bluebird engine we're talking about? As in FWD and stuff?

don't forget it says distributer. DETs are distro-less, coil on plug fire

ummm....anyone that is buying a sr20det for a swap knows that they better be getting the ignitor with the engine...ive heard rumors of these costing from 400-600 US to buy on their own. Most places that rip these engines out dont realize that the Ignitor is attached to the car and not the engine

i don't like the idea of buying engines from places that show only the same engine picture, and not ones of each engine

I will say nothing bad against other business, but total jdm, for the mafs, and ignitor and other accessories, you have to pay extra, my motor prices are complete with warrenty.

I'll second the recommendation for Cardinal Performance. http://www.cardinalperformance.com

Chip is a stand up guy, and went out of his way to make me happy. I got a 41k mile early redtop clip there with everything I need PLUS a spotless new T25 from an automatic SR20DET since the one on the clip didn't quite "whistle right." Seeing it run in front of my eyes sold me.

I don't know if he ships the clips, but I would say if you can drive close to Atlanta, look into Cardinal Performance. The customer service is probably the best I've ever had IN MY LIFE. I was more than pleasantly pleased with my purchase as you can tell.
