the site is http://labjunkies.com/swaps.htm I was looking around for B20 longs blocks and saw this site, Im looking at

JDM B20B 146HP COMPLETE LONGBLOCK WITH 5 SPEED TRANS, STAGE 3 CLUTCH WITH MOUNTS,4-1 INTEGRA TYPE R STYLE HEADER, LINKAGE, AXLES, CHIPPED ECU WITH WARRANTY INSTALLED FOR 2000.00 PLUS TAX

Im not looking for them to install, but to ship me that setup, to NC, they are located in CA, and I just wanted to get some review or if anyone has ever hever heard of this company. I know alot of bad companies change names due to complaints, and bad service.

And if this post is in the wrong place let me know so I can place this in the correct thread.

I haven't tired to call them yet, and not sure of tranny used, ect. and Im swaping into a 95 ex coupe.

Thanks

Both are threads regarding them, they are scammers, idiots, and other adjectives that i probably cant type without getting bleeped out.

Here was my experiences with them....

First one
-I saw the save add on Craigs list, but for a ZC, I called and asked about the pricing yada yada, bottom line is that they asked for a desposit of $300, which they would use to buy parts and build the motor. So, i dont know where they get their parts from, but they needed to build the "jdm" engine out of parts they were going to buy with my deposit.

Second one
-I had a GSR head that had some oil burning, which i thought was going to be warped (turned out it was only slight burning with no valve train damage). I called up the Lab and asked if they do machining, they said yes, so i drive down there. I ask to speak with the machinist, out walks some guy that couldnt have been older than 17. I told him how this damage occured and he cut me off saying there was no way to repair this, so i left.

a good place is Soshin Trade Corp. 800-338-7656, located in North Hollywood, there is another location but i havent used that one.

i got a sohc jdm ZC for $460, 6month warranty on head/block/all internals. really clean warehouse atmosphere, up to date record keeping(so they cant screw you over on warranty claims). Also have JDM trannies, complete front clips of anything Honda from Japan.

Thats the official "where to buy stuff" thread in the EF forum. It applies to everything tho, generic JDM engine importers are included and i think i saw some that are in the south. At least thats closer to you than southern cali!

www.hmotorsonline.com is a good one i've heard, located here in cali tho.
