miko_supra Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Never seen them before. That is certainly one clean engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looks like a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Got an RB25 from them, a few years back, it ran sweet as a nut stock and sounded just a quiet after being boosted to 500bhp. When sold with and extra 10000miles at 500bhp, track days and regular thrashings, it still sounded like a sewing machine at idle, no knocks, no smoke, starting first key turn, every time. Obviously each engine will be different, but the one we got was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I might be completely wrong here, but I think the sump looks wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Not to knock it but if you read the small print near the bottom you need to send an exchange engine back to them within 2 weeks otherwise your warranty is void and you incure a surcharge.

pistonbroke Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well, having searched around, I'm pretty sure that engine ain't from a supe, I believe its from the Aristo as the sump pan is at the front. If you tried to fit this to a supe, the subframe would prove to be a bit of an issue In fact, I recently recall a thread where a member on here bought a second hand engine, that proved to be incorrect (the sump was like the one shown here), then it got real messy and ended up in court.

brettjones Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 i have just asked the seller to confirm the engine is from a supra ,will be interesting to read his reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have a couple of spare sumps if that is a problem. I supplied no engine to them when I bought mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 ive seen a lot of companies like this that say 'they open the engine and check everything' but i have experienced two companies selling engines and say they check but they do jack shyt!

PJ Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's got the front sump as said above, and also the 'hydro' motor on the water pump, which the Supra doesn't have. It's from an Aristo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
