Nay cause the last motor my friend bought from ebay was a big paper weight.
That's what he gets for not listening to me.

"Hence we proudly and unhesitatingly offer a 100% startup warranty plus an additional three month warranty on all of our engines."
Make sure to take them up on that if anything is wrong with the engine.. I doubt that they are lying about warrenting their engines..
The seller has mixed feedback reviews, some people got incomplete swaps..
Call them and talk to them about their feedback and warrenty.. If you feel comfortable Id say go for it.. Just make sure you know who you're dealing with and where they are located before you do anything..

If i were you...and this is coming from someone who has purchased JDM motors in the past. Find somebody within driving distance that you can go look at the motor you are interested in purchasing . Ebay can be a great tool...or a not so nice FOOL. Just be careful..i hate seeing people lose money on ebay trying to save it.

It looks legit, his feedback is strong, the price sounds good. I'd go for it if I had the money

I also agree with this guy.. Its harder for them to screw you over or give you the runaround if you buy the motor in person and you know where they are located.
Even if you pay a bit more its worth it.. You get to check out the motor yourself and if anything goes wrong you bring it back asap..

I don't buy anything on ebay over $500...thats my rule. And the seller has to have feedback in the thousands for me to even spend that much.

Your a smart shopper......good rule too!!! Ebay is just way too scammy lately..even if its for 20 bucks. My dad's superintendant at work had somebody email him asking for him to update his ebay account which looked identical to someting they would produce......WELL, he sent it to spoof and they knew nothing of it. Keep you eye out for that email as well, i just recieved it yesterday with a link to a page that said "no longer available".

yea that is kinda iffy. only 87 feedback, and been a member for 2 years. he is part of the eBay store, and is selling quite a good amount of motors though. call the number for more info if you like. very tough decision. well its your money. goodluck.

Yay & Nay.
This is exactly like buying from someone from H-T and being shipped to your house.
I didn't have a good experience with my complete JDM B16a sirII swap, as most of the parts are cut like axles, shift linkage, mount brackets, etc. Says it was complete w/ shift linkage, axles, etc.!
Just becareful, they may sound like a big company and all, but you never know they might be a one person businessman. It's best if you come and inspect the motor and and pick it up. I'd call them up and check everything.
BE CAREFUL! I can't stress this any further.

I'd rather buy a motor that cost more from place I could trust. Ebay hell no. I prefer local.

Re: (Jmunk)
there is a good jdm engine dealer a friend bought his b16a from and another friend bought a gsr swap, they were both impressed with them, for all you get, it's a pretty good deal, here's the link http://www.totaljdm.com/?id=36226
