there are no "good reliable" places that sell used engines, you take your chances... you'd be better off buying an already built one off a member here, or getting a jdm and rebuilding it yourself. Its a huge hassle to drop it all in and find out its a p.o.s.

i second that, i bought the jdm gte and just "dropped it in" and a month later its back out again for a rebuild. if you plan on upgrading then rebuilding is a must

^^^ i bought a jdm engine and a gasket kit from toyota, i used it for 2 years at 12-14lbs of boost with no problems at all.
Toyota quoted me $9000 cad for a brand new one:aigo: :aigo:
it would almost be worth it though, if you werent going to mod it much..
