I can't tell you sorry. Mine took 4 months to arrive and it arrived on a pallet which was the first time we had a used engine arrived on a pallet.Before we bought a honda engine it arrived on a carton box which had 2 big boxes.The honda engine took 2 months.
It all arrived safe.
There are a lot of JDM shops overseas selling a used 2zzge engine.What I did was just use google and call them or email them one by one.I did use ebay but it was just for a basis on whats the name of the shop. I wanted to order direct from Japan because I believe it is much cheaper but understanding what they are saying is not easy and most are in auction or bid.
Call them first and email them one by one tell them it should be a complete swap nothing missing or anything.Also you can you your shipping company if you want to save more.
There is also one shop that has included front brakes but it was already sold out since I can't wait that long I looked for another JDM shop.
I think in Malaysia there are some shops their selling a 2zzge engine.I also tried in Malaysia but it didn't push thru though because I can't find a legit shipping company that can ship a used engine.
I also found a carib nose cut overseas but I am still checking if its legit and it is still available.
All just by using google and the internet.Some I just ask on forums just like here.
Some wanted to help me but I just need is a company name because thats where the profit starts where one person who doesn't have a company helps you then the profit of the company where he is getting also has a profit thats also the reason why we ordered overseas the pass on the profit then pass it to the other person to have another set of profit is not our way of saving money.
To tell you more my project is
I wanted everything to be ordered overseas from suspension,brakes,engine,carib nose cut and many others because it is cheaper and we wanted to avoid too much profit and fake products.Even if it is more expensive it doesn't matter to us as long as it is legit product.
After this project we also have a car arriving overseas.
Once these two are finish and we are racing already we will promote our business name and sell engines,parts and many others.
My friend even told me the same thing "order everything overseas."
I have a JDM civic before but since it was converted from RHD to LHD I had an accident so I just went to look for a LHD vehicle overseas which the car I wanted is not available here mostly it is on converted vehicle.
It is a challenging thing to do research on a shop,knowing the email and a shipping company but thats part on how you can save money and use the saved money on something else. Something that some car enthusiast here doesn't want to do sometimes.
Here in the Philippines there are a lot of fake products which most of the time look exactly the same.
