Buying & fitment

How do I know which engine fits my car?

Tell us the year, make, model and trim and we will confirm the correct engine code before you order – free, and it takes two minutes. Guessing from a parts-site lookup is how people end up with a 2AZ-FE when they needed a 2AR-FE.

What does JDM actually mean here?

Japanese Domestic Market – units pulled from vehicles sold and driven in Japan, then imported. Japanese roads and strict inspection cycles push vehicles out of service while the drivetrain still has life in it, which is why imported units generally show less wear than a comparable North American engine.

Will a JDM engine bolt straight into my North American car?

Usually, but not always. Intake and exhaust manifolds, sensors, wiring plugs and accessory brackets can differ between markets, and some swaps need your original manifold or loom carried over. We tell you what to expect before you buy.

How many kilometres are on the engine?

Where a verified figure exists we list it. Where it does not, we say so rather than inventing a number. Japanese odometers are not always transferable with a pulled engine, and we would rather be honest than confident.

Do you test the engines?

Every engine is inspected before we list it. If you need specific test results for a particular unit, contact us before you order and we will tell you what we have for it.

Can you source something you do not have in stock?

Yes. We bring containers in from Japan regularly. Tell us the engine code and we will quote it and give you a realistic landing date.

Ordering & payment

How do I place an order?

Order through the site, or call 672 763 0632 if you want the engine code confirmed first. Freight is a flat $299 to any address in Canada and is shown at checkout before you pay.

What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Interac e-Transfer and bank transfer. Full detail on the Payment Options page.

Are prices in Canadian dollars?

Yes. All prices are CAD and exclude freight and applicable taxes.

Can I pay a deposit and collect later?

Yes, we hold a unit against a deposit. Storage beyond 30 days is by arrangement.

Do you offer trade or shop pricing?

Yes, for repair shops and rebuilders buying regularly. Call us and ask – it is a conversation, not a form.

Shipping & pickup

How long will delivery take?

Handling time is 1–2 business days and transit time is 1–5 business days, for a total delivery time of 2–7 business days, Monday to Friday, from your payment clearing to arrival. British Columbia and Alberta are usually at the short end. Full detail on the Shipping & Delivery page.

How much is shipping?

A flat $299 to any address in Canada, whatever the engine and wherever you are. Orders over $5,000 ship free and local pickup in Delta is free. It is one $299 charge per order, so parts added to an engine ship at no extra cost. The cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

Can I pick up instead?

Yes, and it is free. 7188 Progress Way, Delta BC – usually ready the same or next business day. Bring a truck and your own straps.

I have no forklift. How do I get it off the truck?

Ask for liftgate service when you order and the carrier lowers the pallet to the ground for an extra fee. Without it the driver is not obliged to unload.

What if it arrives damaged?

Write the damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, photograph the pallet, and contact us within 48 hours. A clean signature releases the carrier and makes the loss unrecoverable.

Warranty & returns

What warranty comes with the engine?

6 months parts coverage from delivery on complete engines and transmissions, 30 days on parts and electrical. See the Warranty page for what voids it.

Does the warranty cover installation labour?

No. It is parts-only – we replace or refund the unit, but the labour to fit it is yours. Budget for the possibility of a second install.

What do I have to do at installation to keep coverage?

Replace the timing kit, water pump, seals and gaskets, change the oil and coolant, and have a licensed shop do the work and give you an invoice. These are conditions, not suggestions.

Can I return an engine if I change my mind?

Within 30 days, uninstalled and in original condition, with a return number from us. You pay return freight and a 15% restocking fee. See Returns & Refunds.

How long does a refund take?

Within 10 days of the returned unit reaching us, plus a few days for your card issuer to post it.

Are you a licensed importer?

Yes. Company number FM0135282. We import directly rather than buying through a middleman, which is why our pricing works.

Do you install engines?

Question not answered?

Call or email with your year, model and trim and we will confirm the right engine for free.
