hi, does anyone know where i can get a JDM engine...i ahve a 91, n/a, i need a cheap replace emnt for my engine, so i'm thinkin bout getting a JDM engine or swapping a v-6, emisssions won't be a problem for a year and a half..thanks, if u could post the web sites to

Red Suns

ebay possibly....

you do know that all jdm FC engines are turbo right? So you wouldn't be swapping in an n/a motor...



Its always a gamble when getting jspecs...I personally don't have any experience with them but I've heard both good and bad.



check out http://www.fc3s.org/engines/used_j_spec_engines.html good luck

thanks for letting me know that they only came in turbo...didn't know that

BrandonDrecksage

this is a really stupid question....but if i bought a JDM engine...and it was turbo, cough i jsut take off the turbo and IC and what not, put my N/A intake and exhaust manifold and run the car?..or would the computer freak out?

I think that would maybe work if you swapped all the electronics, BUT it would be slower than a normal NA due to the lower compression rotors.

don't care about the perforamnce...i jsut need a running car for right now

If you just need a running car, I wouldnt go through all that hassle.

Why dont you just try going to the junkyard or something? Just my 2cents, but I wouldnt go through all the trouble of odering a jspec engine, paying for shipping, getting it to my house, and swapping over eveything just to make the car slower.



You could probably get the engine rebuilt for less money/time than you would have wrapped up in all that.

or duh, get an NA engine from a junkyard in america. haha I cant beleive I didnt think of that.

BrandonDrecksage

of duh, its in the junky yard for a reason...probably blown apex seals, not to mention how longs it could have been sitting there, or it could have the same problem io have now
