im getting my jdm 7afe engine from jdm engine zone in Clifton, NJ i live in Meridian, MS i was wondering does anyone have any idea about how long it may take to ship it from nj to ms? im gonna call them tomorrow to find out but i was just wondering if anyone could give me a idea... im sitting at the house bored staring at my car frown.gif i want my engine and parts i ordered i have nothing else better to do.. i cleaned my car out today... gave her a bath.

thanks for the idea on how long
A), you should really contact the company you're buying from because they can tell you how they'll ship it and how long it takes, not us. B), why a JDM 7A? A USDM unit is easily found here, and as far as I know there's no difference between the JDM and USDM 7A.

JDM probably had less miles on it?
Did you try asking how long it takes to where you got it from? My guess is one month just for transportation via ship plus the time it takes before going on ship.
im getting the 7a jdm because it uses coil pack plus its low mileage
i dont know if a 7A-FE that has coil on plug. if it does then you need the harness and ECU too. that is if you want to use them

What exactly is the benifit of having a coil pack? If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the jdm 7a? It just seems like it would have been so much easier to find a USDM 7a in your area with low miles
I'm not sure about the JDM versions but in EU the 7A-FE with two coil packs instead of the distributor is less powerfull and a lean burn engine. They got a pretty different cylinder head and engine management, i wouldn't swap one of them in a T20 ST since we got the best 7A wink.gif
i think since the coil pack gives more spark per cylinder.. i might be wrong but thats what i had found from some research what other people had been saying. i am paying about 865 for the motor and shipping
im no longer getting it from jdm engine zone im now getting it from jdm engine corp. in Richardson, TX usa. from ebay smile.gif
