I don't know the prices is real good but i don't think it would be a good buy i mean it's not like your buying some ebay intorcooler pipeing were if it fucks up you could just get better shit.Imean it's your motor man if that cheap shit fucks up your motors done and than you have to spend money on good shit so your doing things twice,I would stay with o.e.m. stuff unless your gana build it for big HP
I always like getting good bearings,rings and anything internal like that

^i agree with you

But.. isn't Nippon what Toyota put in the 7m from factory?
You're also getting a Aisin oil pump (which IS what they came with from factory) so im sure that this kit meets or exceeds factory specs

Snap! this looks like an excellent deal. good to refresh a 7m with low miles. this kit should be go for 1bar, providing your fuel air is correct. crazy deal......:evil2:

OK, this same topic and same parts have been discussed now in multiple threads. I will give you my experience with this company and the parts.

I have ordered essentially the same kit from them but in pieces and skipped a few things I already had or wanted a different brand. The parts are exceptional for the price and the company ships fast, combines shipping and communicates well.

I forgot to ask for oversized pistons on my payment form so I sent back an email saying to change to that. They responded the same day, and shipped the correct pistons the next day. I recieved them and they are Stock OEM toyota parts. I know they are because the box is the exact same as the pistons I ordered from Jay Marks.

I also ordered an oil pump from them. The pump is in fact a Toyota pump since it says "TOYOTA" right in the casting. The waterpump is the exact same casting as the one that came off my 89T...down to the same cast marks. I did not get a gasket set from them and the timing kit was the same price at champion. I only wish these guys sold Stock rods!

I dont know where these guys are getting the parts, and I dont actually care. I got em for a steal and I fully expect them to be as good as this motor was when it came from the factory (granted, Im upgrading the oil system and cooling and headgasket, but my internals will be the same)


I promise when my motor is running I will post up a review of the parts. I have also collected pictures of the parts and shown camparison with the stockers. It will all get posted as one big update to my build thread when Im up and running.

Wanted to post a followup about these parts so far. My machine sho said the spec for the cylinder to piston clearence was not listed anywhere or on anything in the box. So I emailed the seller asking for some info. Within an hour I had the answer, but a couple of new questions. The seller then gave me his phone number and I called and spoke with him.

I gotta say, for the majority of shitty ebay sellers that dont know shit about what they are selling or have such awful customer service, this place is definately far from the norm. I'd buy from them again in a second.

Parts quality is stock OEM (which is quite good ya know) or better.

ohh and btw if you use these pistons the clearance spec is .04mm
