i know from reading used japanese motors that it say dont buy from out of state but what is the deal with osaka are they good motors? did any1 get a sr20 from them?

 

DONT BUY FROM OSAKA!!!!!!! I can't remember which thread it is but there is a horror story from someone who bought a swap from osaka do some searching and look for it. It was more than enough to convince me not to buy from them.

 

if i remember correctly osaka shipped out of canada and took pics of engines that looked great but when you got them they were trashed as all hell

 

yeah i would really recomend you not buy from them. I just started a swap for a guy that bougth thier motor from them. When he broght it we checked it over and spund the crank all that good stuff. The damn crank spun real nice.

Then I pull the oil pan off this thing and there sat a couple bent rods rods and a couple ***** that looked to be baddly melted pistons. After further inspection i see daylight out the exausht side of the block. Not visible cause of the turbo. But a hole in the block about the size of a softball or bigger.

Even worse he payed right at 2 grand for the motorset and it only came with a bov. Poor guy. Thats like wipping your *** with 2 g's and flushing it down the toilet. Just be careful and do your homework. Good luck.
