1. What parts are included with the engines?
Each engine is different; some engines come with the transmission and ECU (computer), as well as the axles, engine mounts and half shaft. Some engines will only come with the engine alone and some will only have the engine and transmission. You can view each engine description for a list of parts included. Each engine does come with the following parts: distributor, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, alternator, sensors, throttle body, fuel rail, complete cylinder block and cylinder head.
Back to top 2. What is an engine "swap"?
An engine "Swap" simply means dropping out your old one and installing another engine into your car. Some shops will give you a core charge for your old engine. At Tiger Japanese Auto Parts LTD we do not buy back the old engines, we only sell.
Back to top 3. Does Tiger Japanese Auto Parts LTD buy back my old motor, is there a core charge?
At Tiger Japanese Auto Parts LTD we do not give you a core charge for your old engine nor do we buy back the old engine. We only sell the engines.
Back to top 4. What parts are not included with the engines?
Any part that would be on the engine bay and not the engine itself will not be included. We do not include parts like fuel pump, or radiator. This is parts of the engine bay and is not part of the engine. The engine wiring harness is sometimes included; they may be cut or complete. For most engines you cannot use the Japanese wiring and you must use your existing wiring. View our product descriptions for the complete list of parts included.
Back to top 5. Do I need to change any part on the engine? Such as pulleys, belts, gaskets?
For Head Gaskets, they do not need to be changed unless the engine is leaking oil. For Timing belts it is always recommended on older engines. For Drive Belts it is recommended you change them since they may have hard ended from not having run in several months.
Back to top 6. Do Turbocharged engines come with the Turbo?
Yes, all our turbocharged engines come with the stock OEM turbo. The engines were taken out of the cars and no parts were taken off the engine. So the engines come complete with all accessories and turbo.
Back to top 1. Does Tiger Japanese Auto Parts LTD. install engines?
Yes, we do install engines and transmission as well. Please call us for cost and time of installation and more info.

Back to top 5. Which engines will fit into my car?
For more information about what engine is the best swap for your car please click here and visit our Honda and Acura swap guide page.
Back to top 1. How many miles do the engines have?
We honestly do not know and if any of our competitors quote you a mileage figure, they are only guessing. THE 25,00 MILE THEORY. This theory originated by taking the average yearly Japanese driving miles and multiplying that figure by the average years the vehicle stays in use in Japan. While this average might be close, it is not exact. We have been to Japan ourselves and we have seen actual cars with 25-35 thousand miles. It is rare that the mileage exceeds 60 thousand miles.
Back to top 2. Do the Japanese have to sell their engines or junk their cars at a particular mileage or time?
NO! The Japanese car Inspection or Sha-ken as it is called in Japan, determines whether it is cost effective for a person to keep his/her vehicle. The inspection is a detailed biannual inspection that is very expensive, especially for older cars that may not pass. The owner is penalized heavily for any failures. The Canada and U.S. Department of Commerce can give you more info on this topic.
Back to top 3. Why do JDM engines have lower mileage?
Japanese people rely mostly on public transportation, therefore the cars are driven less. They also have bi-annual car inspection or Sha-ken as it is called in Japan, and determines whether it is cost effective for a person to keep his/her vehicle. Engines are also taken out of cars that have been accidented in the back or the side.
