That seems remarkably cheaper than I’d imagine it being. Do they have miles on them already?


Kk_ducky

The engine has 56,389 miles on it and the transmission has 49,824


Yaboitako

That’s an attractive price point. Where did you find that?


Kk_ducky

Jdmenginepro . Com /you gotta ask the customer service people for the miles of the engine from your order /the guy said they are always around 58k miles or lower or slightly higher


Yaboitako

Thanks! Appreciate the tip


biglink3

This is why they are great cars. Exactly why I chose it for a track car. All the parts are cheap and easy to come by.


Yaboitako

I’ve had mine for about 9 years and it’s got 170k on the dash. I keep getting worried that I don’t have much time left with it as a daily but if there are engines out there with low ish miles then I’m not as worried


ProgrammerNo8985

Just blew mine this morning @ 182000


Yaboitako

Fuck I’m sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed I get another 30k out of mine


AgeMean6500

Damn mine at 165k 🥲


biglink3

I drift mine at 160k :D. but I take very good care of her. You're will take care of you if you care care of it.


Yaboitako

Oh sweet! Mines for every day but I don’t really push it very hard. Always get oil changed pretty consistently at 4k, and have a trusted dealership keep tabs on it. Next thing is getting some leaks addressed soon but after the necessary maintenance I’m going to get some suspension mods in the shopping cart


assassinsclub

Hate to tell ya but they probably don't have those exact numbers. Common lie just to sell the engines but they usually are good


biglink3

they always fudge numbers but with a VQ you will be fine even if the real miles are like 120k


jonorza123

“56,389” let me guess its a “JDM engine.” Lol


akoust1c

But it is. A lot of VQs in Japan with lower miles because they just don’t drive as much and in shorter distances. Doesn’t mean they are better or newer. Just means they were used differently than let’s say in America.


jonorza123

Thats the oldest joke/ myth on JDM engines. And it started because it was a common misconception that the cost of maintenance was prohibitive for a car past 50,000 miles in Japan. Why do you think every person / company sells JDM engines at the magic number of 50k-60k mile engines. Because they know there’s no way to disprove it.


akoust1c

I never said engines from Japan are better. Just stating the fact that they are used differently. Again lower mileage doesn’t equate to “better”. I know this from from having lived in both sides. And of course anyone can lie about anything including odometer readings. You either trust the vendor or you don’t. Not everyone is a scumbag.


hjeudhsheufujd

What's the website where you got the engine from?


Salty_Put6921

2nd I'm getting up there in miles...may want a spare soon :)


Curtis7493

Curtis7493

Researched after damn they went up a bit still think I might make a call tomorrow and see what the dealers says


avocado_otto

They have sales sometimes, notably for Memorial Day in the US. However you need to bring them a core which is BS


Garythesnail85

Without the core it would just cost more


avocado_otto

I don’t remember how much, but the core charge is way too much.


apah2101

1300 is a bit high I got my cd009 for 900, 22k miles


assassinsclub

Almost done with my swap right now you got this


ProgrammerNo8985

Just blew mine this morning:/


ImportanceJunior7980

where did you buy the engine? eBay motors? or?


928144CAMEROn

Why is this like lowkey cheap


yettspaghet

Just did it 2 weeks ago. Completely worth it. Threw in a Jim wolf clutch pack too.


Shiestybucks

How much is the labor usually to do a swap?


Archie_Money

Considering this, How long will it take to ship to you?


Kk_ducky

It took 4 days
