there used to be wmr but i think they're long gone by now. i remember there was some other shop downtown that did a VE install, can't remember the shop name but they could get motors too. I would just bypass those shops and get it from a place like Soko in california

shit you're closer to japan than everyone but alaska, I'm sure you could find a hook up....

Unless you're looking for like serious ass stomping break my tranny power, just find a det and get all the good shit to support it, then upgrade the turbo and do all that fancy shit later, trust me a det will put a big smile on your face, even with the little t 25. I'm running an avenir with the t25 in a b13 and traction is already an issue and I have decent 205 z rated tires, with stock boost.

ok... i'll go contact some people about gett'n me a motor. i'm starting to get some rod knock in the morning when its cold... it chatters as if the oil pump isn't strong at initial start up....

yah, i've been working with RWD SR's for awhlie now so i think i'll be able to apply what i gots to a FWD SR(hopefully) i got some 550injectors, t28 turbo(no shaft play), and a fpr *** sitting around from the motors that i've had in my s13/14. now i'm just wondering if headgasket and internals are the same.... hopefully someone can help or i'll find out by breaking the motor apart. i'll probably end up searching soon enough...
