Japan Star Motors?

Found this site and thens earch around on forums for a review and can't seem to find one. Their engines seem extremely cheap and they are offering free shipping to anywhere in the US. I wa sjust wondering if it is too good to be true. I mena, I found a turbo miata engine(BPT) for like 900 for the entire swap.

Here's their deal on SR20DET Red Tops

ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

»Engine Code: SR20DET (Redtop, RWD)
»Year:90+
»Valve train: DOHC,16 Valves
»Transmission: Hydraulic
»Displacement: 2.0L
»Horsepower: 205 HP
»Competitor's Price:$1200USD
»Your Price:$1100USD

YOUR SWAP INCLUDES

»Motor
»All Working Sensors
»Complete Engine Wiring Harness
»ECU
»5-Speed Transmission (RWD)
»Sorry, no igniter chip/MAF
»Turbo
»Intercooler
»Distributor
»Intake Manifold
»Alternator
»A/C Power Steering Pump
»All Working Sensors

I know everyone says, dont bother buying engine and such, go directly for a clip and get it over with, but if you bought the swap from these guys, would that not come with everything(after buying MAF and ignitor chip).

Sorry if this is another newb repeat question. Thought you guys might want a new motor source and I thought I'd get some info for when I'm ready for a swap.

WAY too good to be true. the free shipping tips it off for me because shipping is A LOT. let's just say $500 (even though the price varies and can sometimes be more or less on many different factors). that means that that company is willing to eat that cost?! that should be a red flag.

and something about the name kind of irks me. Japan Star Motors? are they trying to be DSM/Diamond Star Motors? strange, yes?

Yeah I see and understand and was the reason I was sketchy towards them. I'll prolly go with TotalJDM or something. Maybe a little mor expensive but worth it in not shooting ur nerves on getting ripped off.

ok heres the deal you want a motor get it from tiger japanese auto. good motors fair prices. not jacked up like those other guys. what you see is what you get. We got my buddy's sr20det blacktop for his 240 and an rb26tt fro his brothers(brother is rich lol). Free shipping isnt unusual for this time of year either it depends on your locale.

sr20 all the way
