Anyone ever get an SR from JDM Engine Zone in Clifton, NJ? Any word on them? Any reputation?

Nicelyphe · 10-30-2010, 07:25 AM

No one eh?

DEEPfrom1 · 10-30-2010, 11:00 PM

My friend got an Rb25 swap from there, ran great for a long time. 2 seasons and like 6 turbos (don't ask me how). Finally spun a bearing.

Nicelyphe · 10-31-2010, 05:21 PM

Lol dam 6 turbos. Alright, has anyone received an SR through them? Looking into getting a blacktop from em.

fernkiers · 03-29-2012, 11:56 AM

I just bought my new RB25 from Engine Depot and that engine is fresh the clutch looks new and great service and Slidewayz did my swap those guys really know their stuff

A shop I deal with bought about 4 VVL motors. 1 was junk, needed a rebuild. its a crapshoot with most used motor places in NJ.

Highway Riding · 04-11-2012, 08:12 AM

I bought my SR from those guys almost 2 years ago. Still running after 6400 miles and 3 oil changes... The entire motor set was complete and a breeze to drop in. I would go back for sure! Actually planning on going back for an Aristo build!

Highway Riding · 04-11-2012, 08:13 AM

On a side note:
I actually searched there when i went for mine and chose which one i wanted.... I obviously chose the cleanest motor

Nicelyphe · 04-11-2012, 08:24 AM

Haha wow, I completely forgot about this thread and you guys have revived t from the dead >_<! Well here's an update then.

I ended up going to JDM Engine Depot over in NJ, and picked up a blacktop sr they had there. The customer service was simple, straight to the point, I was in and out in no time.

Had the motor for about a year and a half now, put on 8k-10k miles and havent had any internal issues. Only thing I've had go bad was the alternator, and the ECU [Dam water leak].

Thanks for the input from anyone who has posted on this thread, I'm sure it will help out others searching as well.

RedStarr · 04-11-2012, 09:43 AM

Just adding to the thread. I got a 3S-GTE from them. It's been running well for the past year but they don't handle their motors with the utmost care. The forklift left a mean dent on the aluminum oil pan so much so that on first startup I realized I had an oil leak. I had to source a replacement oil pan since the cracked one didn't like the warping that comes with welding. Caveat emptor.
