I guess it just matters where you live. Go someplace close. I went to SOKO in Chicago since I live just like 3 hours from the windy city and screw HMO. I could of gotten two d15b's for the price I bought it for. Not to mention I picked my own engine out from one just being sent to me.

Then you can't say it's jDm. 8) SOKO.. SOKEN... their both the same places. I think the CA home office is called SOKEN.

That was what got started back in the 90's and they stuck too it. Most zc's b16's come over these days are pretty beat up compared to what you use to get 5 years ago or so. Motors back then were damn clean/low mileage now well they usually have somthing wrong to some extent.

yeah, i dont think ive come across a B16 with under 100,000kms. ----, I dont think ive even seen any sr20dets,....anything under 100,000kms in the yards.

Yup my buddy over there said the same thing. Its just something the importers started back in the mid/late 90's when swapage was just bein born and it sounded good. Not to mention the motors bein sent over havent been sittin for 10+ years so there more like 80k+ hard miles.


I myself have swapped alot of motors and can tell anyone the motors now are usually a little bit on the beat up side but still driveable etc but not these perfect motors they want you to believe they are.
