Importing my built engine to US - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Quick question, i built a RB25NEO/26, im moving to the us sometime this year and im wondering if its possible/legal to import my engine to the US (no papers etc, bought a bare block from a friend and built it)

just wondering if i can ship it as a whole or just part it out, ship the head and bare block and rebuild it in the US or if ill find a legal wall against importing it.

Whats an rb25neo/26. Its one or the other......

To answer ur question, yes you can ship the motor as is. It goes thru customs...

Btw ur location says miami...

Im in the Dominican Republic currently. Ehhh well its a RB25 block (Stagea AWD block supposed to be stronger of them all, dont quote me on that) in 26 crank/internals + RB25 neo head...

Ill read around, i did read about importing the whole car as a race built but its not doable. Just gotta see what i need to import an engine then. But if anyone has experience and pops in, even better

IIRC the EPA 3520-1 form uses code W as you dont intend to sell the engine as a commercial business, but dont quote me.
