Well I'm gonna get a motor soon, and new some advice on which shop I should get my motor from..Osakajdmmotors, or Hmotorsonline.com??..yeah I was leaning toward osaka because they got better price..but I want a shop that is reliable, has excellent customer service, fast shipping, and a shop that sends everything that I order at the same time..instead of waiting months and months for my parts..any experiences from either shop would really help..Thanx..

 

hmo is better IMO....
just because he sends everything you need including axles, shift linkages, and uncut wire harness....
as for osaka, their prices are cheaper but you get less...no axles and shift linkages
also at osaka they cut their wire harnesses as well..
just buy from hmo, save yourself the time of having to order that stuff from honda...
also steve is a great guy and great customer service...
thats where i got my motor from
remember cheaper is not always better and you pay for what you get!

edit: i see that you're hmong as well, where you at in WI

or you can get the best of both worlds.

 

Got an H22a from steve (hmo) what a great looking motor!!!!! HMO 2

 

hmo

 

HMO is a flip or coin situation. You'll get screwed, or not.

 

try http://www.passwordjdm.com. have onyl heard good things from them so far. they are on vacation till feb 1st so you wont hear back from them till then. good luck.

i've only heard good things about passwordjdm as well...
but i would probably go back to hmo just because i personally have dealt with steve there...
for both steves at hmo and passwordjdm

 

Do a search. This is one of those topics that has been discussed several times. This will save a lot of time on an extremely long thread. That should give all the help you need.

 

i bought a b16a2 from them a few weeks ago, looks great, great price, tps sensor was broke but was expecting that anyways... now just have to install the thing, anyone have the wiring diagram to put that in a del sol?

 

I'm sure he appreciates you letting him know your experience, but you said that you bought a swap from them but you didn't say from who. This is going to go on and on if people keep posting. This topic has been dicussed before and if he were to hit search and type in his topic and go to archived he would have all the info he needs.

 

Because of passwordjdm good history so far I am also planning to buy a complete engine swap from them too. I have nothing against HMO their prices are about roughly $200 difference between them and passwordjdm (both email me enough information that I can be comfortable dealing with them). Also both of the shop are located within L.A. so the shipping cost hopefully will be pretty much the same. so for now I'm going with passwordjdm.

 

I bought a swap from osaka, just cuz there pretty close and i could pick it up myself. BUt if you want a complete swap with everything, id say try Password:JDM or HMO

 

HMO hands down.

 

H-mo. good engine good prices.

 

for anyone interested just give us a call we can work out problems

oops I feel stupid now, I picked mine up from osaka reason being they are only about 6 hours away so if I had problems I figured I could solve them, but so far everthing has been great, just have to install it still though.

 

can i drive up there and hand pick my h22 from you guys?

 

that's a stupid statement.. if your service is so good, you shouldn't have any problems to TRY to work out in the 1st place... from hearing all the horror stories coming out of your business, i'd never bring my business to u...

btw, i got my complete swap from the local salvage yard for a good price a few yrs back and got alot of other extra goodies with the package as well..... doesen't anyone check the local yards anymore???

lastly, i see there's some Hmong folks on this board as well.. don't be a stranger, hollar back..

bbb and HMO

i wouldnt even do business with a company that was a member even tho they have good word of mouth referals

 

LOL

 

Hmotorsonline cuts their harnesses some times. It doesnt really matter though its not like you used it. I've gotten over 15 swaps. I mean honest to god with osaka you get what your paying for plus steve sells w/ axles and shift linkage for 50 dollar more then osaka and shipping is also cheaper. Also no gay custom fees. Osaka and HMO have almost the same price when it comes down to it. PasswordJDM is better i havent gotten from them but i get a good vibe from them.
