Try soko motors. Just google it, you should get a phone number. From what I remember they have a warehouse in California, and one in Chicago.

Also ebay. THere is All Japanese based in florida. Cheapest SR20 i've seen for them is 450. They have a good rep though. Check their ebay rating , I think the rating also reflects that good rep.

Tiger Jap is a hit or miss site, I personally didn't get a bad motor from them, but heard about people having issues.

Andreas Miko has quality motors

F*ck Soko.

I got a nice one from them a few years ago, and I told everybody to buy a motor from them. When I needed another motor, of course I got one from Soko. It was sludged, had water/rust in the head, rusted valves, rust in the combustion chambers, cylinder number one was blown, and cylinder 4 had been sleeved from a previous repair. I ended up buying another block from a junkyard. I cleaned up the head and replaced most everything else. They never responded to my complaint.

Wow

Is all I can say....

Arent they supposed to check these motors before they ship them off? Hey, if were in your position and I had enough money for a lawyer I'd take them to court, then you can get junk ass motors any time you want for the rest of your life!

Haha, in all seriousness... that sucks. I have seen the ones on eBay aswell, and theyre pretty cheap, I havent looked at their "eBay rating" though. Just keep that in mind. I have also heard Andreas Miko has pretty good deals and theyre good motors. Send him a PM or something, or even give him a call (His number is in his signature)

Andreas personally checks the motors he picks, IIRC.

A little bit of injector cleaner would clean that right up eh? hahahaha. That is bad. Perfect candidate for a nice build, but it sucks you paid full price for a POS.
