Ok so I'm looking for an RB25det and have seen some crazy variations in price. For example a company called tigerjapanese is selling the rb25 to me for $2000.00 and jarco is asking $3400.00? I realize that jarco supposedly has better quality but $1400 more seems like alot. So I wanted to know where you guys have bought your engines from, how much they were, the condition of the engine and the service of the company.

DO NOT BUY AN ENGINE FROM TIGERJAPANESE.COM. I bought my RB20DET from them and I've had troubles with it since i got it. It didn't come with the ecu, wire harness, and the oil pan was dented. I called them up and got the run-around. Worst place to get engines from. Check out J-Hot. I've heard good things about them.
