Yea, but at Osaka it is only the engine.... This place offers the full front clip. This means you have a complete engine gaurnteed, you can sell the front bumper if it is in decent coondition, you have the headlights, dash etc...to sell to!

Ok, get over it Osaka has an alrite reputation but not as good as people make them out to be, I believe they are correcting the current problems, but for christ sakes people need to get off their jock.

Its not a fraud. I called and talked to the guy and he said that they have an exporter out of Malaysia* and thats why they get such good prices. They also have warranty's, check out the website! I am going to purchase my front clip next week so i will let you know !

I don't think i'd purchase from anyone pushing this kinda crap...


Here is the Electric Turbocharger that we sell. It pushes out 2/3 the amount of CFM that a Garrett T3 turbo does and works pretty well. My friend bought one off me and he gained 20 HP on my Dyno and lowered his 1/4 mile time by .4 seconds. It takes 1 hour to install by yourself and doesn't require any upgrades to your car. This is what I had on my Civic while I saved up for an actual turbo kit that pushes out an extra 100 HP. But this suited me fine until I saved up my money.

That's fine. I just hope that "Whatever pays the bills" doesn't include you getting scammed...

Good luck with whatever you get...

True and thanks, but i feel pretty confident after getting off the phone with him today. When buying engines, everything is risky, as we see with Osaka, a very respectable company untill scammed people start speaking out. I think this is just a good place as any to purchase an engine and i feel even more confident buying the front clip, however i really do appreciate the concern and i will let you know in a couple weeks how it went !

I wounldn't order from then not yet anyway.

They sell "race" enignes and say "this engine can handle 30lbs of pressure. You would think they would know to say 30psi if they knew anything.

"Naturally Aspirated Race LSVTEC

We have put the same amount of time into this setup as our full blown 9sec motor. You will have the confidence to "drive" your car and not have to worry about engine problems, these motors are strong and meant to be driven.

$3150"



I love how you can just add it to your cart. They don't even mention what the motors have done to them.

hey supafly since his area code is 209 which is near merced and yosemite.. why don't you get some people to check it out for the rest of us.. I know fresno is not to far from that place probably.. it's funny how he only lists his address.. but not his city or zip code.. oh well,, prices sound to good.. and what is a RACE BUILT ZC.. its hard enough finding cams for them I wonder what it's built to?

Very poor website design, payments can only be made by paypal, and I still can't find the "front clips"

All I saw was a ITR swap for $5400... Please, don't insult me with your pricing.

Sorry, that place gets a from me. Osaka at least HAS a reputation, good or bad, at least people know of them.

Dayum, No shiet...whoever designed that site suks AZZ. I don't know alto about web-design but i can probably do alot better than that POS. Cars aren't even categorized or anything. Look like Steve Wonder made that site.

What reputation? If your talking about Osakas reputation for selling shitty products, taking forever to deliver, and having shitty customer service than you are probably right, that place probably doesn't have the same rep.

nmv, these ppl sound like morons too.
