..SSR.. Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Air freight service. But you'll need to have a business account with them. Or pay me and I'll pick it up and deliver it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubs Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 If you live in Indiana why did you have one shipped ? Sound like you live pretty close to me (Cincinnati Ohio) and there are like 3 crazy car shops that live within 10 minutes of me that carry any motor you want. For the future here are the shops names. www.Zerolift.com www.TPRcincy.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 *Carry any hot motors you want. HMO has the best service out there. ive been to the HMO warehouse 3 times. twice to pick up some motors and once to get a jdm s15 front clip and there service is even better in person. the drive is like two hours away but its worth it.

I see I can get a complete change over from HMO for about $4000 shipped...but I wanna build a strong NA with low compression so I can turbo in the near future...so should I go with the $1650 shipped engine with light flywheel and stage 3 clutch or the complete change over from HMO for $4000? I was going to take the $1650 one and get it resleeved, vavle job, the works....but I don't know what I wanna do if I get the HMO one...would it already be rebuilt to be able to handle like 15lbs boost daily driven? or would I have to send that one out to get honed and what not?

catawalks Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 if you do get the hmo engine just sell your original engine and use the money from that to build it. i can't sell my original engine...i'm planning on rebuilding that and shoving it in my gf's del sol with maybe an ls/vtec conversion and turbo or one or the other...haven't decided yet.
