tlava Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Anyone have any experience with/knowledge of these shops, and/or comparisons: APR. EnginesUS, JIS, or Oregon engine rebuilders I've use the latter two Also, any other recs for new/rebuilt? APR offers a new, complete 22re long block, all OEM (Japanese castings, they say--engine shipped new from Japan) for 2.2k, incl shipping--sounds like a good deal; they are located in CO EnginesUS also offers a new engine, also from Jap,, I think, for about 1.7k; ARP has a 3-yr unlimited mile warranty, and EnginesUS a 12 mo unlimited mile warranty ALso, any ideas about RE v R-ET? is the ET a "problem" engine?

Maineah Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Good rebuild by a local machine shop would probably be a good bit cheaper. What happens if you have an issue with the engine from Japan? You pay the shipping to send it back? Is there any reason you think you need a rebuild? The ET engine is a turbo engine no real issues I know of of course it's just an engine with out the turbo figure on another 4 grand for the turbo and the rest stuff that goes with it.. Years ago the co's. sent low mileage used engines, Japan has a very interesting deal on cars as the car/truck ages the registration fees increase so it becomes increasingly more expensive to own them and they end up being scrapped and that's where the engines came from generally the beak even point was around 45K I can't say they still do this but that was the way it was.

Gary_M Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Only if those new engines came with a new A43D tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
