Default Where to buy JDM Motors

I am ready to buy a motor for my 93 hatch. I'm looking for a D15B JDM version. I checked HMOTORS and he's sold out. Where else can I buy that is reputable like HMOTORS?

Not the reputation of HMO but if you need one in a hurry...

I live in UT we dont have places like that here. All I can find locally are used up 140k y8's. Not appealing to me.

Wait for hmotors, youll definately be happy with the engine you get once they get more in stock. I had to wait for my 2000 b20b and it was DEFINATELY worth it

I've purchased two swaps from HMotorsOnline as well, and both turned out great. The best part is that they cary a lot of the accessories like JDM exhaust and suspension. That way you can buy it all at once to save time. Full SIR2 exhaust w/ cat fits perfectly and looks stock on a 92-95 hatch w/ b16 swap.

Ive read good things about Import Auto Salvage but have never personally dealt with them. I cant remember where it is located maybe someone else will chime in here. However I have bought 3 motors from HMO and they are great. As stated above deal with Steve.

IAS used to be great (Larry Jr was my contact), but no longer does the hot rod Honda thing. They used to get containers from Japan all the time with seats and other cool stuff, but not any more. I think they are in north carolina. I personally bought Integra rear suspension and it was great. Price and shipping were outstanding too. Even when I noticed one of the LCAs was bent, they sent me another right away. All their parts were guarnateed.

Last time I contacted them (about a year ago) they didn't have any Integra parts...

I guess you're the exception. I'd rather walk than buy from Tiger Japanese.

How did you find out the excact miles?

I just bought a swap from hmotorsonline. My b18c was very clean. it was missing the crank pully but thas no big deal. I've bought 4 swaps 2 local 1 from password and 1 from hmotors. the hmotors was by far the best.
