Looking for a rb20det swap. Where is the best place (that has one in stock) I usually only purchase from jhot imports, but they don't have any in stock for a good time.

Thanks. (I would love to see places that do compression videos)

After a little research, I found a zilvia forum advertiser. "japanmotor." They do compression videos, ect. ect. They seem fair in price also.

They good?

Update.

Seems they do not have any in stock. =(

I went to Jspec Auto Sports. They give a 60day warrenty, AND do compresson videos! Seem very legit.

I would also like to know, but I'm looking for a front clip (s13 sr20). Phase2 doesn't seem to have any and enjuku doesn't have any front clips listed. Any other legit places out there?

RB20? Why bother? Might as well go SR and save yourself the deadweight and get a little extra torque. If you absolutely must go RB, get an RB25 at least. That's my :2c: anyways.

Might as well try to be helpful while I'm at it. According to their website, Japan Motor Import (www.japanmotorimport.com (http://www.japanmotorimport.com)) has RB20s listed as "Available". They seem legit but I've never bought an engine from them, and I've read mixed reviews so far.

Anyone ever notice the compression videos, they do em on cold engines, and yet get the same results as a hot engine. Weird huh? I emailed them with that question and they couldn't respond back with the correct answer, except "it's good compression same as factory service manual spec"
