Used engine from Japan?

That's a steal!

 

Yeah I thought so too man! It was so good that it had me worried but luckily it turned out to be legit. I had a shop that specializes in racing miatas do swap for me since I don’t really have a place for a job like that and even he was amazed and said he was going to contact them to see if they had more. From start to finish all parts and labor I’m prob about 4000-4500 in the job. Again though that was new axles and hub bearings, clutch, injectors sent off and refurbished all the odd and end stuff to go with the new motor. Def could’ve been a lot worse.

I’m not sure they even normally have engines, I may have just gotten very lucky. But here’s the seller just in case.

hey man. i’m swapping a jdm ms3 engine into my gen2. any chance u remember the accessories u had to swap over? would help me a bunch thank you.

 

Swap all of your accessories over

 

okay. by all you mean all pulleys and even wires? not harness wires the wires that connect to the harness.

 

I would use all your harness from your car and keep the others as spare no need to swap pulleys unless the ones on the "new" engine are warn. Turbo, power steering pump, AC compressor, alternator, I'd be pulling injectors from your old engine and having them cleaned ready to slap in, coil packs perhaps? Wouldn't mess around with water pump or thermostat, although personally a fresh thermostat on the engine of unknown history isn't a bad idea to me. Naturally fresh spark plugs, ?serpentine belt.

Basically if it bolts onto or connects that engine other than pulleys and you know it works from your car I would be putting it on.
