Guys, I recently bought a 13BRE motor from an "online" company for about $1500, claiming it came from a running vehicle. When we received the motor and opened it up, I almost went ballistic! The front plate, rotor, rotor housing, middle plate and e-shaft were all damaged from oil starvation! Now, I'm in a bind and was wondering if there were anyone in this forum that had a useable core for a resonable price? I would need it shipped to Oregon. I appreciate ALL the help fellas.



Thanks,

Jim Kelly

what did the company that sold it to you say?

They said what anyother poor customer service company would say, "Sorry, we can't help you."

which company so we can avoid them

asswipes

Street Imports from Ontario Canada

Does anyone have a 13BRE USEABLE core they would want to sell me?



Thanks,

Jim

is this the engine that was on ebay at the beginning of the month?

Give dave at fc3s.org a call. He is a great guy that will make sure you get a good engine. I ordered a 13B-RE from him and it came in with water in the rear combustion chamber from washing it I'm assuming. Not a HUGE problem if it was warm outside but I live in MN and that water was frozen. Frozen water= broken parts= very low compression. I let him know about it and he had another engine waiting for me at the loading dock by the end of that week!! Now thats customer service! I payed ~1500-1600 for mine 1.5 years ago.



Good luck

Corksport is right by you, they sell j-specs. $2,200 for the RE, there a much more reputable shop though I'm sure than the ebay seller. Anybody bought/delt with Corksport? The best part is, there local to you, so if you have problems you can deal with them face to face. I'm conidering going through them b/c there close to me, but would like to get some good feedback on them. If not them, I've heard alot of good stuff about fc3s.org dealings.

Im looking for a CORE, they are selling a complete LONG BLOCK and I don't need that. I know they're right by me, they built my car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Yes dave at Fc3s.org...hes good at fixing those things and has a good line on parts for that thing...I bought mine from him...good service..I'm under the same name there too.

Hey everyone, is it hard to put a bre into a second gen??? What all is required? I heard that the bre is exactly like the brew, only with a different LIM, is this true?



Do I ask too many questions?

Should I stfu newb?





TIA

No comment:)



Really the only thing I would like to first suggest is to research the forums:) I am sure this topic has been covered before, if not in this forum then in one of the others.



In short...



...it is not too tough.

...it is not exactly the same as the REW, just look at the pics. Different ports, LIM, UIM, bearings, injectors, etc..
