Hey guys here is the deal. I'm looking at purchasing a b18c from Steve over at HMO. I have spent the last two years getting up all of the money that I'm going to need to do the swap. I worked alot of hours and sacrificed alot to get this money. I have researched these guys and they seem totally cool, but I was just hoping that some of you guys could help me out. Any recommendations or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

 

What is it you need to know?

 

I need to know if they are reputable..? I.E. would you buy an engine from them?

 

this has been covered a million kazillion times so next time do a search


for the record i purchased 3 motors from steve all came in, in perfect condition

 

Thank you! Ordinarily I would search the crap out of this. Hence the reason that I have been on this forum for 6 months and I only have 50 posts. I do appreciate your help in this area though and am searching right now for more info.

 

Its a good company, I got mine there. Many people on this board feel the way I do about HMO. Ryan

 

I have ordered and recieved 2 engines from Steve at HMO. Both motors were complete to the last....even got axles, shift linkage, and motor mounts!!!!!!!! Steve is definitley the man...I would let him babysit my kids...if I had any.

 

I ordered and engine from him, one of the sensor came back broke and he replaced it free of charge. He does slack of though when it comes to shipping things. I had to call him twice about the sensor. And I have also heard he says he ships things out one day but there get shipped out 2 days later. Besides that , he runs a good buisness. I would defiantly order another engine from him again.

 

im a satisfied customer...
EDIT....where in NJ ru?

 

They're awesome. I ordered my engine, everything from there. All sensors were good, and I had no problems starting it up.

I like Steve. He is always busy. People dog him for that, but he does his best for people with patience, that give complete information, and plan ahead.

You may be able to order your mounts & shift linkage through him as well - you'll have to ask...

Yep, I don't dog him for it though. I understand it, hey at least hes doing something right if he has all this business. Monday is a really busy day for him, so is Tuesday. So if your thinking off calling or stopping by, wesenday or thursday is a good day for him. Also last time I talked to him, if he goes over his credit limit he don't accept credit cards, so if thats the only way your thinking of paying, make sure you contact him early in the month.

 

got my motor there...100% satisfied customer.

 

Like everyone else mentioned, Steve can be hard to get a hold of, but you won't be disappointed with the product.
HMO=

 

Steve is a very good guy.. ive been to his shop plenty of times.. **** loads of stuff.. nothing american though.. i got a EF8 back glass with factory wing, and LSD sticker.. you gotta love that.. legit EF8 tails.. all kinds of goods..

steves busy, but he usually gets back to you, ive been through plenty of B16's.. ide say 7 or 8.. and i've bought atleast 4 from him. now he's one of my main JDM importers..

last time i was there he had a real right hand drive EF8, and a EK9.. yes a CTR.. non registered, but imported.. ****.. steves soo busy, he's got a brand new S2000, 2 years old, wiht like 7K miles.. lol.. he needs to get away more often. the way he's headed, he could retire by 30.

 

steve and HMO = quality service...

 

I got my motor from him, And I could not be more pleased. I think Steve should start giving a discount for HT members.

 

i've bought 3 motors from him already. i wouldn't buy from anyone else. besides i've known him since Jr high. and i chill there sometimes and help out, I feel bad for him sometimes cuz he's always busy and stressed out. he can't just take a day off cuz people would freak out when they can't get a hold of him.

 

Thanks alot guys, you have all given me some great help. I'm going to probably order the swap tomorrow. By the way I'm from south jersey, just outside of philly. I appreciate all of your help, and hopefully I'll get some pics up soon for you guys to see.

 

i got zc swap from him & the motor runs good; i've had it in for around 2 1/2 weeks now. steve was cool, i even received my motor 2 days earlier than I was told I would

 

i got my motor from him, couldnt be happier w/ it.
