Default Everything i need for H22a swap?

http://www.osakajdmmotors.com has the h22a for $1,900. Really quick whats the difference between H22a h22a1 h22a4?
Comes with:
Motor
Transmission
Engine Wiring Harness
All required Cables
ECU
Distributor
Complete Intake Manifold
Alternator
A/C
Power Steering Pump

h22a = jdm
h22a1 = 93-96 obd 1
h22a4 = 97-01 obd 2

you might need axles. they might help alittle. belts would should be replaced while the motor is out of the car.

Osaka, ripped my *** off for $3300. That bunch of ******s sent me a 4g63 that they new was locked up. we turned it over and water poured out of it. They sent me a ZC that had no compression. and they also sent me an H22a that had a dead cylinder.

I am going to pay them a visit soon.

i would never buy from them, i will give the short version. ordered h22 with lsd and extra axles for $2300. Great service at first until they got my money, then it took me a month to get anyone to answer there phones to find out where my engine was. finally received h22 with what i believe were Toyota axles and no lsd. Also the engine had a busted intake manifold. Tried contacting the company for 6 months with every month them telling me that they were sending out the parts. well after 8 months past i received a check for $200 form Osaka stating that it was to cover the missing parts. I felt lucky to get that so i went to deposit it and the f*#king check bounced. Then my so called "low mileage engine" spun its main bearings after having it for 9 months with less then 6 thousand miles of my use.

there are a bunch of people on here that i know that got screwed around the same time. Osaka actually was banned for a while from advertising on here because of the many problems. but i see that they are back. just do a search for osaka

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences....but you had the motor running for 9 months? But still blaming them for the spun mains? I haven't dealt with Osaka, but think about it....9 months! I hardly doubt that it was Osaka's fault that you spun the main bearings. Remember, you ARE getting a "used" motor...don't expect to eat off of it.

I find it funny that most (not all, just most) of all the bad rep that many companies get are due to INSTALLATION ERROR...and not the products themselves. It's a harsh world, esp for aftermarket parts companies.

WHAT??? Have you read any of the other posts about their bad dealings with Osaka?? I saw one dude's post of the engine that he received from them. It looked like it was sitting in water.

Also, did you notice that CHK4TIX was not refunded his money for his LSD and IM?? Based on this...they deserve the bad rep.

Installation error? if i do say so myself you sir are a dick. (notice Sir was not capitalized intentionally to show lack of respect)
If you don't know my experience then you can not pass judgment on my ability's to do the work. As for the motor it has been in the vehicle for 9 months, the engine was put in in Jan '03. That does not mean it was driven for 9 months. The vehicle was not completed until mid February, while i was waiting for exhaust parts. then it was on blocks while i was trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with it since Aug 12. so that means it was only driven for 6 1/2 months. And it wasn't even driven every day.

So your telling me that this "low mileage engine" was my fault and not that this shady company that has a well known history of sending out damaged and non functioning motors is not to blame. And i also assume it was my fault that they never replaced the broken parts and never sent out the transmission that I paid for. And it must have been my fault as well that they sent me a "refund check" that BOUNCED!!!!!!

once again, if i do say so myself, you sir are a dick.
