I have had work done both at Kaizen and at SR Motorcars. I would highly recommend both of them to anyone. SR motorcars is in Gardena however and Kaizen is now located in Orange.

Raymond
R1 Motor

San Gabriel, CA 91776
(626) 282-7226

He gets really busy call ahead and schedule and ask questions he might or might not do the work depending on his schedule.
Raymond makes your swap look OEM... heres a picture Raymond swapped 2jzgte from my car.

+1 for Raymond! He's an awesome guy. I almost had him put in my turbo for my s2k before, but I got a bike instead

Seriously, if you want a job to be done right the first time, having somebody come over to your house may not be the best idea.

Thanks EliteSkill
