Joseph –
Shoved this 1UZ into my S13 drift car after my RB gave up. Even with basic bolt-ons and a 150-shot nitrous, it’s been bulletproof for 6 months of tandem chaos. JDM Premium included the A340E transmission and custom mounts. Their customer service helped me troubleshoot the wiring—legendary support!

The Million-Mile V8 – Flawless JDM Import!
Purchased a 1996 1UZ-FE from JDM Premium with 68,000 km for my LS400 restoration. Engine arrived in a sealed crate with compression results (185 psi all cylinders) and zero leaks. Installed it in a weekend—runs smoother than my original motor! Includes uncut harness and ECU. These guys are the real deal.
