WHAT TO BUY

FRONT / REAR CLIPS

Engine and transmission still sit on the chassis.  Sometimes axles and struts, radiators and condensers are included.  Sheet metal is never included, but sometime are left on the clip.  Shipping across the country can cost as much as $1000+  Prices are quoted depending on what is minimally included.  Example MR2 rear clip

CONVERSION PACKAGE

Engine with harness, engine accessories, afm or map sensor, ecu.   Depending on the engine, sometimes the original engine accessories and some electrical components  (coil/igniter, afm or map sensor) are reusable- so the packages may be slightly different.  Prices are quoted depending on what is minimally included.   example: 3SGE to 3SGTE

ENGINE UPGRADE / REPLACEMENT PACKAGE

Engine with manifolds; no accessories (alternator, power-steering pump, AC compressor; normally this is ordered to replace the same or similar engine.  Some electrical parts (distributor, coil packs, sensors) are usually left with the engine, but are not part of what you paid for. 
example:  5MG to 6MG upgrades

LONG BLOCK ENGINE

Engine with cylinder head and block- valve cover to oil pan.  No manifolds.  All internal parts are as installed on the head and block.  Your original manifolds may work with slight modification. 

SHORT BLOCK

This will be the engine block only, with crankshaft and pistons;  Japanese blocks will interchange with U.S. blocks with no problem;  if you intend to use as a street engine use this with your original U.S. head and emission controls; these blocks are usually updated versions.  example: hi-compression 4AGE to U.S 4AGE

NOTE:  Most engines we sell are Japanese specification and some where never imported into the U.S. Most do not have EGR provisions, some can be retrofitted, some cannot;  Although most engines will pass a tailpipe test, they are not legal for U.S. certification without an EGR retrofit.  Toysport imports and sells Japanese specification engines for competition use only.

Expect to change all tune-up related parts- sparkplugs, distributor wire/cap/rotor; thermostat; timing/fan belts; water pump.   For high performance engines changing rings and head-gasket is recommended, but most engines are used “as-is”. On older model engines and turbo models reconditioning is highly recommended.  There is no warranty on all used high performance engines.
