I purchased a JDM engine from Japanese Motors Inc. in the beginning of September. The knowledge displayed and the assistance given to me on the initial contact was very encouraging. The from California to New York was quick too. After installing the engine and driving it the past 3 months, I am VERY happy with my purchase. For me, Japanese Motors Inc. was an excellent choice.

Bought an SR20DET engine and trans as well as an S14 front and rear subframe. The subframe was most likely in a bad accident, arms were bent and the rear knuckle was cracked. The rear wheel bearing was bad and could not be used either. Even worse... the SR20DET I bought from them was blown up, the pistons are chewed up all the way down to the ring and the cylinders are also chewed up. I tried to contact them and ask for a refund and they said they would see about it and contact me back. Never got a call back about it so I called them again and again and again, they said no refund and if you open the engine up the warranty is void lol! How would you know if the engine was blown unless you open it? If you go through all the effort to install it later to find it blown it would be even worse having to pay to have it removed and rebuilt. Once they have your money they don't care about you anymore and will dodge you as best they can. These guys are very unprofessional and shady!! I would definitely stay away. They won't let you talk to the owner nor will they give you his name, one guy even said his name was jon then he said it was sam, then he said he's the manager and then he said he's just a guy that works there.. I worked hard to get this engine and subframe, now I'm stuck with something that needs extra work and money put into it, I'm putting this review out here in hopes that other hard working people won't get screwed over by these terrible people! STAY AWAY!
Called about a b20 high comp got the price (695) Go to pick up the motor about a hour after I called got there talk to (Nick) paid for the motor no big deal got the motor home get it in the car and I look at some of the stamps on the motor and it points to being a low comp that goes for 500-550 online while high comps go for 600-700 ONLINE so 695 not bad on, the high end. but I heard good things about this shop so go with it so after finding out that it’s not a high comp call back a week later then was told high comps are 750-800 from (Chris the owner) then I have my friends call and see what they say pretty sure it was (nick) said that high comp are 695 then I have my brother call and ask for Chris, and do the same thing ask for a b20 high comp now it’s 700-800 yes on the same day, I’m mad that I ended up with a low comp motor when I said Multiple times on the phone I wanted a high comp. And hella over paid for it would not go here for anything they offer to refund if I brought the motor back but not worth my time pulling it back out again so f this place if you do buy something here make sure you check all the numbers and stamps on the motor to make sure it’s what you want
*update!!!* Red Flag do not i repeat do not buy from this location i got sold the wrong transmission went past the 30 day due to manager being sick and me living 6hrs away and they wouldn't do anything not even store credit to make the situation right!! Very bad business I have bought over 7 engines and 3 transmission from other shops and have had good experiences this one was horrible and will never give them my business again!!! I assure you the bad reviews are true and stay away!!!!!!!! You have been warned!!!!! Just picked up a low mileage awd transmission for my crv which went out!!! Shop is full of great stuff motors, transmission, wheels, clusters, clips and so on..... will update once installed and tested but everything looks clean and legit so shouldn't have any issues :) 10/19/2020 thanks to the great customer service definitely would drive the 5hrs again without hesitation.
I really had high hopes purchasing a Mazda MZR L3-VDT from Ichiban on Ebay. Unfortunately, the whole process was somewhat of a debacle. The engine arrived poorly tied to the pallet. The pallet was pieced together and falling apart. The ECU was broken. The turbo bypass valve nipple was broken. The engine was never compression checked as there was no evidence that the top mount intercooler and the spark plugs/wires were recently removed. Upon further inspection of the engine before installation, it turned out that the VVT actuator was broken causing a stretched timing chain which was hitting the underside of the cam cover. Pieces of the VVT actuator had fallen down into the oil pan. Not to mention that the engine was way out of time. This would have required a complete timing system overhaul and removal of the oil pan to retrieve the loose pieces. Not an inexpensive and quick task on these MZR engines. Labor and parts would have cost me 1200 (per Mazda parts and Alldata hours). Ichiban offered me 300-400 to repair it. Somewhat a slap in the face. Fortunately, they ended up taking the engine back and refunding my payment. I gave 2 stars because they were untruthful about the compression test, damage to engine internally and during shipping, and email communication was really slow (phone communication was better). The only saving grace is that my contact, Chris, was polite and seemed really understanding when I spoke to him over the phone.
