just a heads up, "japan specialties" on ebay recently posted a "complete" 1jz swap, when prompted they confessed that it was actually missing several expensive components (ignitor, intercooler and hoses) they offered the swap without any sort of warranty and when i asked if they could do a compression test or warranty the motor only i just never got a response. When i told him i would rather not do business with someone who ignores me when i ask a tough question the guy sent me a scathing email telling me he didnt know enough about toyota motors to offer a warranty or really tell me the condition of the engine, further proving he is probably selling junk. Not to mention the problem with him not being able to distinguish between junk and quality engines. J-hot and Jarco get praises for all the right reasons.

Me and my friend spent the extra money on a soarer clip and silvia clip from jarco at the same time, both of our setups turned out great, and the service was great too..... shipping killed us on the west coast though which is why we did them together... Also I heard a thread where the clip came and the radiator was damaged in transit, and Jarco sent them another radiator... that had me sold.
