Soo anyways, back to the topic about "JHOT"


I was wondering the same thing, i tried to call them earlier this month and only a answering machine picks up, and i noticed there website is pretty much a ghost town..

definetlys sucks, all the local people in here Columbia always use Jhot, they knew most of the import shop owners here by name, they bought soo many swaps from them, always complete and turned out to be great engines, and cheaper then any other place..

a couple years ago when Jhot still had the Augusta GA location, that's where i picked up my 1jz as well, 1900 with tax, 100% complete, i even used the stock intercooler with piping....


I don't know if i would say Jhot had the best motorsets, but for the price they always delievered a complete motorset, and i've never heard anyone have any issues with them..


I'd like to find a complete 2jzgte VVTI swap now, just a little leary about ordering from ebay and getting one with missing parts or hacked wiring..

For my GS I purchased a 2jzgte. It was some shop in the ny state area. don't remember the name for the life of me, and I cannot find it while searching, but was a++ motor, real clean inside and out. If I run upon them I will let u know as they were good with communication also.

JHOT is gone, the owner posted up a closing sale on the local forum (to him) a few days ago.

na bro is not like that i had to establish a relationship with the person i copped my motor from reason being.

i had to read tons of reviews about motors from different compaines.
i read every forum and read all the goods the bads and the ulgys about how **** was broken or missing. so what i am saying to u is this take ur time bro

and as far as the long block yotas thier all over yahoo japan just take some time out and search a small bit

ive seen used vvti 1jz for 800.00 - the turbo


and if u want a regualr 1jz i would wait then cause 1's this vvti band wagon in full steam those hard to find 1jz will be widly avaliable

Ok, so not really something you can get your hands on unless you know an importer or have other connections.

Regarding the original thread intention:

My shop can get ahold of engines as we do many swaps in house. We source our engines from trusted importers and offer very competitive pricing as well as good warranties. Hit me up if you want details but at the moment we are doing 3 x RB20 / RB25 swaps. I personally swapped a 1JZ into my S14 and were also going to be doing 2 x 1JZ > MKIII swaps.

Ive already ordered about 3 x 1JZs so far and all of them for around $2100 or less.

Wait, just read the whole thread, and I still dont understand. Did Jhot go out of buisness because of the economy or because of he same reason Skylines are getting snatched up by the federal government.

With such a large and expensive package custom's outsourced private contract will call you asking for your Tax ID. As long as you are a legal resident you can provide your Social Security number for the Tax ID.

I think in this case, there were issues with their suppliers in Japan sourcing cars for them. Also, the USD/JPY exchange rates are sucking pretty hard. The Skyline snatching is just a pet project of ICE and DHS.
