Heard of them? If so, are they good? They are in Sacramento, about and hour from me so it would be great if I could get an SR20DET from them, maybe also a s13 front end.

lol, i just posted about this in one of the other threads....they seem to have enough inventory and such that it seems like it'd be hard for them to get away ripping people off. I bet they're good, but, i have no first hand knowledge.

I believe they have a 30 day warranty so if you can't finish your swap in 30 days and something messes up you're gonna end up buying more parts. I say if you live only an hour away from them go in person and check out everything and have them do a leak down test + compression test in front of you.

I talked to a guy that ordered a front clip from venus and they said the clip was in great shape. When the guy received his front clip from Venus the clip had been in a front end collision back in Japan/AUS so his stock smic was smashed and I believe his engine had very bad to no compression at all when he finished installing it.

Also I forgot to mention that Venus wouldn't cover the warranty even though it was still within the 30 days warranty thingy so they tried selling the guy a separate engine and he had to return his first one in as a core exchange.

he should have checked the compression before removing it from the clip !!!!

that guy is a personal friend of mine...he runs for same shopi run for in vegas...yes his clip was in **** condition...yes theytold us it was in "great condition"...i dont recommend goingto venus for engines...they were never clear and concise withme when i was trying to purchase an engine from them...theykept telling me "oh it will be here next week" and my enginenever came in (im kinda glad it didnt cause i wound up gettinga SR20det redtop for a WAY better price than what venus wastrying to sell me)anyways...the SMIC was totalled...the engineis caked over in lime...the clip was stored without a hood...noguage cluster...each cylander was 135-140 on pressure...unlessyou get venus to send you pics i dont recommend buying fromthem...im not saying all of their engines are crap and in badcondition...but from what ive heard and seen they dont do avery good job of delivering the quality they claim to
