3-1 Where do these JDM engines come from?
All JDM low mileage engines are hand selected from known operating vehicles that our associate in Japan can drive. We do not buy engines with unknown mechanical condition.
3-2 How do I convert 24v to 12v?
There are several ways to do this. We recommend that the engine itself be converted to use 12 volt components. Starters, alternators, sensors, and vacuum switches are easily converted to 12v with off the shelf toyota parts in the USA. Glow plugs and other diesel specific parts can be ordered from us in 12v format. We will provide specific directions and parts lists to those purchasing engines at their request.
3-3 What about motor mounts?
It greatly depends on what engine you are trying to put in what vehicle as to whether some or all of the original motor mounts will work. Please email us with your specific application and we can help answer some of those questions.
3-4 What are the legal rules for installation in my truck?
State laws vary, so we advise you to investigate your local laws before purchasing an engine. In general, as long as the engine is the same year or newer than your vehicle, it can be swapped over without hassle.
