Disclaimer

Our listings — descriptions, documented mileage, and compatibility information — are accurate to the best of our knowledge based on the import documentation available when the item is listed, and covered units carry our written limited warranty.

We make no promise about how long a used part will last or how it will perform after installation beyond the written warranty, and we do not cover labor, towing, rental vehicles, lost wages, or other consequential costs.

Before you order

• Match the engine or transmission code to your vehicle's factory specifications — not just the model name and year.
• Confirm the transmission type (automatic or manual) and drive type (FWD, RWD, or AWD).
• Check that sensors, accessory drives, and mounting points will work with your US-market vehicle.
• Talk to a mechanic experienced with JDM swaps.
• Contact us with questions before you buy — not after.

Common JDM vs. US-market differences

• Power output, compression ratio, and fuel octane requirements.
• Sensor connectors, O2 sensor ports, and emissions fittings.
• Transmission gear ratios, which can affect speedometer readings.
• Accessory brackets, power steering pump, and A/C compressor mounts.
• ECU programming — a JDM ECU may need reprogramming or a compatible US-spec ECU.

Documented mileage

• Mileage figures and ranges shown in listings come from the auction or dismantler documentation supplied with the unit in Japan.
• Japanese odometers read in kilometers; we convert to miles (1 km = 0.621 miles).
• The figure reflects the odometer reading when the vehicle was auctioned or dismantled.
• We pass this documentation on in good faith but cannot certify it beyond what the documents state.

Undocumented mileage

• Where no reliable documentation was available, the listing says "mileage unknown" or "undocumented".
• We make no statement about the actual mileage of these units; treat them as used parts of unknown age.
• Their pricing reflects that uncertainty.

Federal — EPA

The Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.) prohibits installing an engine or component that makes a road vehicle non-compliant with federal emissions standards.

California — CARB

Most JDM engine swaps are not CARB-legal for California-registered road vehicles without an Executive Order (EO) exemption. We cannot advise on specific CARB compliance.

State inspections

An engine swap can cause a failed inspection if the engine does not match the vehicle's records or cannot meet the state's emissions requirements. Check before you buy.

Off-road & competition

JDM engines are popular in race, track, and off-road vehicles that are never registered for road use. Compliance with sanctioning-body or event rules remains your responsibility.

INIndiana

• The Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act (Ind. Code § 24-5-0.5) prohibits deceptive acts. Our descriptions are made in good faith.
• Lake and Porter counties in Northwest Indiana require vehicle emissions testing. Verify your swap will pass.

WIWisconsin

• Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. § 100.18) prohibits untrue, deceptive, or misleading representations. Our listings are accurate to the best of our knowledge.
• Several southeastern Wisconsin counties require emissions testing. Check before installing a JDM engine.

CACalifornia

• CARB rules prohibit installing non-compliant engines in road vehicles. Compliance is the buyer's responsibility.
• Proposition 65 may apply to some automotive parts. Review product documentation for any Prop 65 warnings.

TXTexas

• The Texas DTPA prohibits false representations; our condition disclosures are made in good faith.
• Vehicles in Texas emissions-testing areas must still pass after an engine replacement.
• Texas law allows remedies to be limited in commercial transactions, and our limits apply to the extent permitted.

NYNew York

• New York General Business Law § 349 prohibits deceptive practices.
• New York has strict annual safety and OBD emissions inspections and has adopted California emissions standards for many model years.

FLFlorida

• The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act prohibits deceptive acts in commerce.
• Florida has no statewide emissions inspection, but federal EPA rules still apply to road vehicles.

WAWashington

• The Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86) prohibits unfair or deceptive practices.
• Washington has adopted California emissions standards for newer vehicles; verify compliance before buying.

Website accuracy

We update product information regularly, but errors can happen. If we find an error after you order, we will contact you before shipping. Photos show the actual part or its typical condition. We may correct listings at any time; corrections do not affect orders already shipped.

Shipping & delivery

We ship to US addresses only. Report freight damage to the carrier and to us at delivery. Delivery times are estimates, and we are not liable for delays caused by carriers, weather, or other events outside our control. See our Shipping Policy.

Pricing

Prices are in US Dollars and may change without notice; the price at checkout is your order price. Sales tax is added where required. We never use bait-and-switch or other deceptive pricing. See our Payment Policy.

Safety

Engines and drivetrains are heavy — use proper lifting equipment and protective gear. Parts may still contain oil, coolant, or transmission fluid; dispose of fluids according to EPA and state rules. We are not responsible for injury or damage caused by improper handling, storage, or installation. If you have a safety concern, call us before proceeding.
