yeah HMO is the shiiitz...i get 75% of my stuff their cuz they give me goood deals and becasue they are kinda local to me....but as for a jdm d15b, i get those from another shop http://www.usedjapaneseengines.com i go their becasue they are 400 bucks after TAX (a bit more for what i pay at HMO ) BUT they give me a 6 month WARRENTY (because its going into a 92-95 EX/SI )

Check out SOKO also cause they were only gonna charge me 400 shipped to my house or like 325 picked up. They have a shop in IL and on the West coast and not sure about the east coast but their pretty cheap.

Lol Hmotorsonline.com...STEVE IS DA MAN! Anyways, pay the extra cash to order from them. If in any case, you find the D15b cheaper from sumwhere else..Your paying extra for the quality and service from Hmotorsonline.com.

If you're going to pay for the d15b then just get a dohc zc. I've had a dohc zc, and the d15b ain't got nothing on it. I ate 'em up all day. They're a waste of money. The budget motor to go with is the dohc zc, trust me!

I emailed the guy at Soshin. The only ones they currently have do not have a distributor, and the warranty only covers the block and head. they are goona charge me 490 including shipping as opposed to hmotorsonline, who quotes me at 700 including shipping.

My friend just beat a zc rex with his d15 hatch.....maybe the guy's motor was crap, or he didnt know how to drive it. Anyways, it's enough power for me and so far all ive heard is good things about them. Im also on a tight budget and the d15 will bolt right in. If I could i'd buy a b-series, but like i said my budget's tight!
