Ok, I got my engine last wednesday....shipping was great went quickly and smoothly, they delivered to my home and we pulled the engine off the truck with my engine lift.
Prior to shipment though, Tiger japanese called me with some bad news. Upon inspecting the engine, they found that the transmission was bad (had a crack towards the rear) however, the rest checked out great (compression test). They then gave me me the option of still purchasing just the engine. I would be given a $300 credit for the transmission (no where near the worth of an RB25 mission, but it's what their supplier would refund them). I decided to go this method, and use an RB20 transmission as my power goals are fairly conservative. This weekend I spent most of my time tearing the engine down, everything looks great. For an engine with a "cut" harness I was supprised with how much of the harness was actually intact. The only two problems I have encountered so far: one sensor (the purple one) on the AAC was broken off inside the valve, and the turbo seems to have quite an oil leak into the compressor (blown seals). Basically nothing I didnt expect or cannot work with. Overall, I am very pleased with the product I recieved and customer support I was given. I started a thread in which I'm going to log my swap's progress, so check back there for more detailed updates. But, in summation:
A+ for Tiger Japanese
