I'd say definately.

I ordered my JDM H22A from there and the thing was near spotless. From the looks of it, the damn thing has nearly no miles on it. Head/Valves looks beautiful from the top.

Hey guys, when you all did your swaps...what did you change on them??

Does hmotorsonline.com change the timing belt, water pump, belts, clutch???

Also, do you have to get your own USDM fuel rail??

What was your TOTAL out the door price when you received your swap from them including shipping??

Thanks

No he just ships you the motor that was taken directly out of a front clip. So for your own beneift you would want to change all those things yourself before you install it.

No custom fuel rail needed.

Prolly under $3000 I dont remember. But that was with LSD trans shipped to my house in NJ.

Steve = ahole

His service has also taken a drop this year. He was good before but he is pissing me off. I have gotten over 15 motors from him and only 3 or 4 have been good. Almost half of them have broken cylinders. He wont honor is stupid 30 day start up warranty too. I no longer have to buy from him but stay away. Buy local if you can.

What do you mean by "broken Cylinders"? How did you determine that they were broken?

I ordered my first motor from him, a JDM ZC. He was really nice and helpfull, and 4bidden is right, he talks to damn fast. I took me for ****** ever to get my engine, but i guess that was because the ports were on strike....he offered refund, but i was like no, i want my engine. When i got it, it was clean, packed up good, and it runs great. I ended up selling the car and got a 91 teg, and i'm about to order a b18c from him, so yes, i would recommend hmotorsonline.

I just recently ( 3 weeks ago ) purchased a B18C from Steve at Hmotors. Great engine, steve is great, and shipping to east coast was super fast.
The only thing is Steve is a busy man and somewhat hard to get in touch with, but just continue to call and you will get him.
In my sig (under b18c buildup) there is a pic of what the engine looked like when I received it.

Good luck
