I just wanted to share my story of doing business with Steve at HMO. A year ago I purchased a JDM GSR from HMO, I made a special trip from Phoenix AZ to California to pick up my engine in person. When I got there my engine was ready, washed and set a side. Before accepting it I looked it over and every thing was perfect. Shortly after that I had to go to the bathroom so I was showed the way and when I got in, there were 3 towers of various honda ECU's, around 6 CTR and ITR steering wheels, a bunch of SIR and ITR clusters and three sets of ITR seats. I didn't want to leave the bathroom and I was kicking my *** for not having money for all those goods. When I came out the coolest bath room ever my motor was raised on a fork lift. Steve and I went over the sensors and noticed that the map sensor was cracked, I got a spare one right away and after securing the motor we were on our way back to AZ.
It's now a year later and the JDM GSR just made 177whp and 128wtq with I/E/H, CTR cams, ITR springs and S2 manifold.
I just purchased a sleeved 2.0l B18 for my turbo LS project, it came with a crank that looked like it went through hell and back. Unless u have tried you probably don't know how hard it is to find a LS crank in good condition. I looked for one for over a month, all of them are in bad shape. After being desperate and calling junk yards in my area I almost gave up. I got an idea to call HMO and see if they have any laying around, Steve answered and said that he has one I perfect shape in a running car. I talked to him a little and said that I'd pay $200 if it's in perfect shape. Four days later I received an LS crank with perfect journals still covered in oil. I'm writing all this cuz I almost gave up on finding a good LS crank and using a GSR one but now I got what I wanted! from HMO! Again!


By the way there are no Cliffs! If u don't like to read than what are you doing on a message board!


And here is the difference between a bad jurnal and a good one:



Another shot of the bad one.

 

bump, HMO is da bomb. got h22 from him and it came so clean almost looked brand new.

 

hmo is the best

 

Dealt with HMO and Osaka JDM motors... Osaka is absolutely a joke. Friend ordered ZC, some of the sensors were broke, missing some parts and pieces, and the damn thing was pretty dirty too.

Just got in a JDM B16 for a friend, thing looked KILLER, almost brand new... Sucks though that less than a week after this motor was installed, with a new water pump and timing belt that the headgasket blew out... not even beating on the car. But oh well, my luck has always sucked.

 

hmo is the best!, i've gottin my front end from him and b16's from him. hes a good guy! heres a story for you about steve, after having my b16 running for 6 days, for some reason on the 7th day my bearing slipped, and i was on a hf ecu (dont ask why ok) and told steve the story, and he sent me one for free and all i had to pay was shipping!
