Jdm Engine

ethan12510 · 04-16-2007, 12:44 PM

I am looking at replacing my 7MGTE and i was wondering about the quality of The JDM Engines that you can buy on the internet. I know there are alot of people doing it and it seems like a good idea. Im just wondering what kind of things you guys have heard thanks.

Flip a coin, you may win you may lose. Rebuilding your current motor is a much better idea.

Ethan it only seems like a good idea.

I just tell everyone that you are better off to rebuild what you have than to rebuild your newly purchased used jdm.

Well my mechanic thinks its a really good idea and has heard good things about them. Also There are so many places that sell JDM Engines for those of you that have gone this route which company did you use? Idk but my mecanic was pushing this idea rather than a rebuild. And the JDM Engines come with warranties. Well thanks for your input

That's because doing an engine swap is alot easier and quicker than rebuilding an engine.

Just remember that all 7M's have the head gasket problem, no matter where in the world it came from; Japan, United States, Europe, etc.......

It sounds like your mechanic is looking for an easy out that's going to leave you in a lerch. JDM's have to be rebuilt before you can put them in is my opinion.

There are too many people thinking they can plug and play the JDM card but it doesn't work..., or you never know how about that instead.
