Ohh, its from Osaka. Their not bad people or anything but the best way I can think of describing them is REALLY shady. It really definitely is a good price though. They wont even do a compression or leakdown test in front of you though. If you wanna take your chances though then good luck

but i live in mirabel im not ordering it i will go there its liek 20 minutes away from me. whats better Zc or b16a1?

actually, just to clarify, if you order an engine from japan, it will be labeled as "B16A" since JDM engines have no suffix. If your engine is labeled as "B16A1" it is probably not from japan.

Oh yea, also chances are that the "Engine Wiring Harness All required Cables" will be all hacked up and worthless along with a sensor or two. I was walking around in there and a good percentage of them were. Im not trying to say dont do it but I just wanna give you a heads up is all.

People will argue about that forever but I think most people agree that the B16A is better. Also, make sure you really take a good look at the one you plan on buying. Dont let them rush you, that was my mistake, I think they just wanted to go home though.
