About this business

We have been importing from Japan since 1997. The importing process consists of locating low mileage (45-60k mile) engines and transmissions, front end conversions, and other rare parts. Our location in Japan then loads large shipping containers and sends them across the ocean. Once a container has arrived at its destination port, it is then transported to our facility where we sort, catalog, and photograph parts for our customers. We ship within the continental United States and also offer local pickup at our Belleville, NJ... read more

Motor came and upon switching all useless parts accompanied by the engine it was junk. Engine came with broken sensors, vacuum ******* broken on intake and cracked intake, dried out injectors, and carbon biuld up worse than most 200k engines. The plugs were in no shape good to use and sent them pictures with no care from them besides they aren't at fault. The motor made it 15 miles before detonating completely inside block. Claiming I have no warranty due to not following guidelines they won't help exchange or money back. Th... read more

Motor shipped damaged, had water in it. Timing chain was broken, cams were in horrible condition, definitely more miles than advertised. Would not recommend. 

Business response:

The name ********************************* does not show up in any of our databases. When and how did you purchase the said engine? We are only a phone call away so I don't understand why you wouldn't have reached out to us so that we may discuss options, IF this was in fact purchased from us.

I ordered an engine for a **** Tacoma. The engine arrived and we sat it on an engine stand. I took the timing belt cover off to inspect the timing belt and discovered that the engine would not rotate by hand. We pulled the spark plugs and discovered water in the cylinders. I contacted JDM immediately and was asked to send pictures which I did using an engine scope. I called back and they said they received the pictures. I called back again later and got a telephone run around and finally someone answered and said your claim ... read more

Ordered an engine from them. It was labeled as a forester, and I was expecting to have to do some work on it to get it right. However, the engine they sent me from from a ****** Legacy/Outback. This was determined from the oil pan being the unique 2-piece design only seen on those models. I reached out to them and havent heard anything from them after waiting a week. Id shop locally rather than buying from them in the future. 

Business response:

The Forester, Legacy, and Outback share the same engine depending on the years of the vehicle. Keep in mind, you're purchasing the long block meaning head(s) and block only. You may need to transfer over the external accessories from the existing engine to the Japanese imported engine. This is specifically stated on the website you placed the order on. This is illustrated prior to a payment being submitted.
