Me and a buddy put it in and wired everything up with a wiring specialties harness, plugged the vaccum lines and bypassed the Maf to the throttle body and the motor fired right up, no taps, no knocks, no weird noises!! Sounded as healthy as it could be! Overall great experience. So when I got it home I started on putting it in because their warranty is void if you tamper with the motor. Like OP stated they are stern on their startup policy. The owner was very nice and very helpful, overall the customer service was great. Anyway, I went up and picked out a j4 blacktop cold compression was done right in front of me and came back 150 across all 4, so that was very pleasing to me. Sorry it took so long to get back around to this I do apologize. And I can understand why he buys these in "bulk" and sells them for a minimal markup. PS: I just wanted to note that David was very up front about the warranty. Good price (EXCELLENT price if you take in to fact the motor has more in upgrades than what I paid for the whole motor itself). But before going out and buying one, I called David at JDM and he said, "no big deal, bring your SR MAF in and I'll swap it for a z32 one." I figured, no big deal, z32 MAFS are cheap. When I got the engine home and unloaded and started checking things out, I realized that the MAF wouldn't plug in. I'm assuming he tests them all and only posts the ones with good or high/even compression.Īlso, the MAF connector on the harness was for a z32 maf, and the ECU had Z32 written on it. I did notice on his eBay listings that he shows videos of compression tests for SOME motors, but not all. Started right up after install and runs great so far. The motor was in EXCELLENT shape and has great compression. I bought an SR from him for $1799 (which happened to include an expensive manifold, t28, gismo 555s, reprogrammed ecu, z32 maf, metah head gasket, etc. The owner, David, is a pretty nice guy and firm on his prices. Someone had posted a bad experience with them a few years back so I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. I just wanted to post a positive review for in richardson, TX.
