that website reminds me of totalboost.com. I don't know if they changed their name or if this is different company that uses a similar layout of the website.

Hi everyone,

I bought a engine from totalboost, h22a for 2500$ ...
he told that the engine would be in good condition ...

broken distributor is kind of common

At least mine was cracked, but my company sent me a new one, free, with the motor itself

Yes, we simply changed our name because alot of people did not understand the "boost" in our name, and the dash got alot of people confused when trying to type our URL.

Anyways, I would ask you to not believe what that trial user posted. We've been having issues with people posting bogus stories about us, in hopes of injuring our sales I'm assuming.

The True history about total-boost or total jdm

He tries to sell motors for another company and he is paid 50CD$ per sales which he makes. And he is doing part time, after school.

WTF does being a "trial user" have to do with anything? In my opinion that in itself is bothersum....

Well look at the other posts made by the same user. He's not stating to be a customer, just someone TRYING to harm us.

There's one of these each week. We're somewhat getting used to these trial users. They used to be a shock, but I think our company has grown enough to the point where people simply know it's not true.

Which reminds me, we do not sell our H22A's for $2500.00

If the customer could show proof that he paid that much, and those mentionned parts were broken, we'd be glad to fix the situation.

I just ordered a motor from total jdm this is wat I got
Ctr Motor clamed to be a full swap

Missing Axels
Missing Half Shaft
Wiring harnes clips to the ecu all busted up. The harness is no good.
TPS sensor Busted up.

I called and spoke with herman about the wiring harness and tps. He told me that they cant garentee all sensors to be in working order. So I was **** out of luck there. I think they would at least give me a refund of some type to help me with the costs.

It took 2.5 weeks to get a set of axels and half shaft from them. Once I got it there was not any clamps on the boots and grease was leaking out and all over the box. At this point I was pissed beyond belief. So I used the busted axels for a core and got new ones. I confronted them again about the busted axels. They would not refund my money because I could not get a pic due to the fact that I was pissed off and used them as a core. Witch is understandable for a business to want proof.

I had to fork up

$250 for a new throttlebody witch had the sensor I needed
$150 for a wiring harness
$120 for a set of axels
----------
$500 on top of the 4K+ I spent on this motor

The motor was not very clean it took a while to get parts of it cleand up.

I was told the motor would have 20-35K it looks like it has 100K.


I am no kid and very pissed off at this company. I would never order anything from them again. Andre I am sure you know who I am. We have exchanged emails over the last two weeks.
