    Default Tiger Jap Motors

    Last year i purchased a B20B motor from Tiger Japanese Motors in Canada, i was told that their motors were garbage and i would be looking fro a replacement in no time. Well dont believe what you hear, my motor is still runnig hard and is getting ready for the B20/VTEC step up, despite what some folks on IA believe, Tiger Jap has good motors/prices and reasonable shipping. If you dont have PasswordJDM or Hmotor online $$$$, you can go to tiger jap and get a decent engine.

    LOL

    SOrry kid, they sell crap motors, your 1 story doesnt make up for the XXX dealings and stories ive seen and heard regarding them.

    I didnt say every motor they have is garbage, but the majority of them are. Ive seen everything from B16s to 2JZs from them and i wasnt impressed.

    IIRC your motor didnt look so great either.

    B20VTEC? what happened to the K swap you were going to do

    Almost every company or business has complaints. But if it's too many then something is up

    i've had an h22a from there perfect damn motor. made 180whp on ebay i/h/e.

    i've seen strong gsr's and 1jz's from there. i will likely be purchasing my 1jz or 2jz from there too.

    i guess they all have their bad days. i have heard their wiring harnesses are cut and their motors are crap. they always stand by their **** though, they sent me out the wrong ecu and replaced it for me for free which it thought was pretty good of them.

    B20VTEC? what happened to the K swap you were going to do

    I know the motor wasn't the picture perfect model of clean, but it run well, as for the K, that has gone to the back burner until i clear some things up, basically life has struck and i had to spend my build money to handle some things, so hello B20/vtec btw, do you still have those b-series headers?
