Im in need of a 7mgte and have posted in the general discussion. A few people have told me to try driftmotion, so I am. I am not even positive if you guys have engines, but its worth a shot.
If you do, what would a 7mgte cost me? I would also like to know the estimated mileage and if there is any kind of warranty for it. The shipping zip code is 07002. Please give me a quote for the engine and a quote for shipping.
Thanks in advance.

Well I guess this is a good place to explain our stance on JDM 7m-gte engines.

We have not had one 7m-gte come in for over a year now. The last ones we have seen were no better then something you would find in a junk yard here. The last few people bought from other importers paid well over $1000, thinking they could just throw a metal hg in and run it. That was not the case. The engines had lots of carbon buildup in the ring langs, excessive bearing wear, leaking valves, etc... They would have been better off rebuilding the engine they already had in the car. Any importer that tells you they have a "low milage" 7m-gte is most likely being less then truthfull. It's 2007, the engines are going on 20 years old. There obviously some exceptions, some people get lucky and find a good one, but you would be better off taking the sure thing and rebuilding an engine, then you know it's good. It's more expensive, and takes a lot more time. It's up to you to decide.
