Anyways, doesn't another engine importer sell these? Are these modded or just JDM stock? The reason why I am asking is that Signal Auto is not cheap. Another engine importer probably could get these for much cheaper. They are reputable though and they open on Sundays too.

all cars in japan are advertised as 280PS ( limited ) but are underrated, pretty much all the Japanese performance cars make around 320HP (Skyline, Supra, Subaru WRX STI and Nissan 300ZXTT).
This is a good deal because they do the labour for you, u can buy one off ebay but then u have do go through all the worrying of doing the swap.
even if it is a japanese engine it is a good deal, with the smaller ceramic CT26s you get quicker spool up thus making a little better mid range power and could make the car more fun to drive.

I work with many people from Japan. A few of them have had their hand in tuning. It seems on cars like the skyline and silvia, as well as others that one of these "governors" is simply a bolt under the accelerator that prevents the car from reaching full throttle. How's that for an easy "mod"? They also say it is not that easy to remove though.

Hey - I was just over at signal a few days ago..
That guy in the pic is the owner I think..he doesn't speak any english. My guess is that they do the 6 speed and 2JZ for US cars. They have a few skylines and stuff there. I saw a fixed up white SC they are workign on once.
They are off Carson street in torrance.
