There has been some people on here that have ordered from them. I think a couple people complained of broken sensors and dirty motors but havent heard anything about bad motors from them.

Long story with them. To make it short, I purchased a b18c package with LSD from them. Great service until you hand over the money. Had alot of misc. missing parts that should be on the engine and a few mix & match parts. Nippon said they will send the missing & wrong parts right away, 2 months later still nothing.

Be real specific when ordering from them or you won't get all the parts needed. The price is fair but I rather pay alittle more from elsewhere then spend alot more later getting parts that should of came with the engine. Almost done with the swap into my CRX and will see how the motor runs. This is just my own personnel experience with them.

Try these places: http://hondamotorsonline.com http://sohfast.com

Both places have great customer service. Sohfast is a bit pricey though, but you get what you pay for.

well i got my accord motor from them and i would reccomend them. It was a 93 ex motor, sorta pricey but well worth it, my motor and tranny are super mint and clean.... runs way faster than my old motor.
