but i dont know who to trust for buying a JDM engine. its not too expensive.

I would just save, by it piece by piece. Then you can work on it slowly. A good way to learn about cars to. This is how i built the Tib, It was like a 4 month process of finding parts, making parts, then about a month from start to finish, and like another week or so messing with the Tuning software to get it to run good enough to drive it to my Tuner.

Also Boost isnt cheap, parts break, it is a time consuming job for the swap i am sure. Also you have to be prepared cause nothing with cars every seems to go as planed!

Also i am young to so dont use that as an excuse man, I am 23, I built my Tib by myself, I read a few books, Whored up the forums.
Also money wise i am with you, I have the Tib, car cost me 4k back in high school, 2007 is when i picked it up, I put about 25k into it, went through 2 motors 4 tranny's. It is my drag car/ weekend toy to mess with the Local Honda Kids.


As a Daily i drive my 89 Supra and on the nice days i got a SFV650K9 to plow around on.
