After the long dispute and confusing between me and Tiger japanese I finally got my refund.......refund minus 300 bucks

So I was at the junk yard about a month ago and some local 240 guys told me to try Jhott.

Well I called on Thursday and they have 2 on the way. 2 rb25det motor/transmission/ecu/harness complete. Well I told them I have to have it and put down a deposit. I have about 3 weeks to a month and im finally getting my rb.

Yesss.

[mattleegee]

hopefully it works the second time!

you should have dumped sand in the other motor or something!

im so scared to order a motor reading all these posts....

[jrock7885]

yeah dude jhot is the s*** I have gotten two great motors from them and i have been very happy with my engines and cutomer service.rb25 front clip and rb20 motor set both engines i could eat off of they wereso clean and my 25 is very strong dont know about the 20 yet cause i havn't started it yet but i have no dought in my mnid.

I still don't know why people don't buy from our sponsors!!!!!! That makes me really upset. This is exactly the problems you get.

Anyways good luck and I suggest you get a REAL bov and waste gate. You've spent this much so might as well make it all worth it.

[Carl H]

jhot is a sponsor.

[meet07]

im keeping my cheapo wastegate. I ran a xspower 38mm for 2 years with no problems but im probaly going to dicth the knockoff and get the syntronic synapses.

[meet07]

got a new intake manifold too..

[dwnshfter]

NEW HOTNESS!!!

[ANVIL]

what kinda manifold is that?

[meet07]

not sure but im an ebay junkie. Some dude was selling 3 of them. All three was bought in 2 days. I jumped on it quick.

[ANVIL]

let us know how the fitment/quality is on it. how much did it run you? ive been thinking about picking up one of the cheap alternatives to the greddy.

[meet07]

it was like $325.......somewhere around that. It looks similar to the JGYcustoms one but like 100 bucks cheaper. Shoot it was cheaper than the other ebay knockoff they had up. So yeah im happy

ill probably get the covers polished as well as the holset turbo when its time.

[meet07]

I was looking over the intake manifold yesterday. when I slid the lil hose adapter into the hole located at the front of the mani I noticed a lil looseness?? Actually it seem to loose. Is there a special way that this needs to be installed. Like some sort of hardening compound?? I hate to weld it but I guess I have to do what I have to

[SullivanRacing06]

knock off bovs and wastegates :-(

agreed, the knock off wastegate is a good way to over boost or have some spike, find a used real w/g

[Carl H]

that hose adaptor is supposed to be pressfit, if you can move it then something is wrong.

[meet07]

thats exactly what I thought.

Thanks carl

Its been about a month but here is the update.....

-After getting my refund from Tiger Japanese(minus 300 bucks) I gave my money to JHOT. The motor set went out last friday and should be here sometime this week....yaaayy!!

-Since then I painted the engine bay and moved the car to a location with flat ground..lol-Bought the XTD 12.5lbs flywheel-Bought anouther knock off BOV....I know. im saving up for the Synapse, just wanted to get the car running.

-Copped a z32 ecu at the junk yard. Soon to be NISTUNED up.

-Installed the 255.

-F#@$*ed up the butterfly on my Q45 TB. Tryed to knife edge it after repidly telling myself, leave it alone. Advise......leave it to the pro's...lol Now I have to buy anouther one that happens to cost more than the original.-Got all the hardware for the motor mounts-Coilovers in case I havnt shown them-Ordered the summit racing battery relocation kit plus some nifty 150amp fuse holder that shows the volts.- I also made some intercooler brackets. Thanks to Lowe's and my $99.99 dollar welding machine..lol-Hacked up the front bumper to make room.-ohh yeah, my radiator is on the way as well. With twin 12" fans...Just-intercoolers-Sard FPR adapter that goes into the fuel rail.

[meet07]

My CXRacing cooler came in this morning.

[Darius]

Are those SPAL 12" pushers?

[Shanejenkins1]

Man, nice stuff. Good work. Are you going to run a q45 maf? I was thinking on using my q45 maf, but I cant tune just yet.

[gawdzilla]

Are those SPAL 12" pushers?

i'm gonna venture a guess and say no, since everything else is ebay knockoff

[meet07]

There the fans that came with the radiator. I beleive there pullers. My motor was dropped off today. Im starting on the harness tomm night. Started on what was needed from the ka harness just a few minutes ago. Im shooting for this weekend startup.

[meet07]

I do have the q45 MAF but im probably not going to use it until I get NISTUNE. And that will be my spring/summer project as well as injectors and a exhaust manifold.

[Acecool]

I have that same radiator, it was supposed to be godspeed but it works GREAT!!!

[meet07]

^^ Thats good to know. I didnt know if the outlet side of the radiator would be to small.

I have like 5 other things that should be here in the next 5 days.

[meet07]

Lookie Lookie I got a cookie....

It looks exactly like something that Jhot would send me. Motor is spotless. 60,000 miles and it shows. Even the Clutch has minimal wear.

Un-packed:



So clean:



JDM for sure. Proof that it was driven in japan before bringing to the states:



Lil oil leak. Im going to remove and make sure the oil pick up didnt get damages. Try to bang out the huge dent and patch up the hole:

[meet07]

I finally finished the wiring harness for the RB. Took about 3 days but its done. Hope that she fires up with no problems.

Put in the flywheel,clutch and intake manifold:



I told myself to let someone help me put the transmission in so I didnt hurt my back but I could not wait.





Got my other Q45 throttle body. I guess the other one is junk:

[meet07]

Also recieved my 150 amp fuse holder with built in voltmeter.

Summit Racing battery box:

Seems that I planned on buying anouther oil pan. This one is to far gone and I dont have the time or patients to fix. Looks like anouther 2 weeks

[dwnshfter]

lemme get that busted q45 off of you please, i wanna try the tps on mine, see if i can make it work.....
