I've looked through the internet for a cheaper way to get a new engine for my car, and came across j-spec engines. Are they worth the money? And are they a lot of trouble to swap in? I've heard from some people that most of them are blown, so when you get them they're crap.

I don't know, can I get some help on this?

 

well its a used engine, so you dont know how many miles it has on it, or if it was maintained. you are basically gambling. i have a good running jspec 20b in my fc, but vosko had like 3-4 in his fc and they were all bad.

yup

 

wow that is nuts, it took u that long to learn?

 

once you buy it you can't get your money back

 

i say j-spec make good rebuild cores...assuming housing are good etc...thats if you have time/money to buy rebuilt kit plus motor and do rebuild

 

what are the benefits of having a jspec?

 

you have to keep exchanging

mike is right yet again....

 

i watched goober (one of our factory techs) swap mitsubishi 2600 engines in his montero like 3 times :bigthumg:
