If you bothered to search honda-tech at all, you would have found out that everyone recommends hmotorsonline.

Good luck and happy swapping

ive heard good things about both but i cant justify the price of ordering a swap from any of these places. i mean, almost 5k for a gsr? i could do a k24 swap for that price...?

$4600 for a JDM ITR motor w/ITR LSD tranny...yes, a little expensive, but it's way more plug-n-play than any K-swap. And I don't believe for a moment that a K-swap can be done correctly for less than 5K. You might get the motor for $2500 or so if you're lucky, but you've got to get all the other stuff that goes along with it. And good luck making it legal in CA (if that's necessary).

theres no way your doing a k swap for 5k kpro alone will set you back 950+

4600 is a nice chunk of money but way easier and cheeper to do then a k swap.
i personaly havent bought from hmotors but a few of my freinds have with 0 issues,and great customer service.
