I waited a year to post this review. 2004 Accord K24, original owner transmission went out at 424,272 miles. Figured best to replace engine and transmission. Called Ichibanjdm they had a engine and transmission that came from Japan already mated. Some parts needed to taken off original engine and transmission and switched to the new one to be compatible with my car. Pain in the @$$. But engine and transmission are running PERFECT !! O oil consumption. Ive put on a little over 10,000 miles on her. All the work was done by me.I'm attached to this car. Thank You for having this engine and transmission!!

Hello to all it's the Lexus guy again? so after a dire diagnostic at another shop and filled with frustration we decided to replace the transmission so I had home work to do on which route I wanted to go and where to purchase a trans from and having a shop I know put it in or do it my self Sooo after looking for a decent place to purchase a transmission and weighing all my options I found Ichiban JDM. After reading their reviews the negative and positives I decided they were the best place to go for 2 main reasons..pricing and the fact that you have the option to have them install it purchasing from them and having installed elsewhere would be costly cause if trans is bad you'll be paying double for labor so for me it was easier to have them complete the task. 1st let me thank Nick for a seamless transaction and Gabriel as well for keeping me in the loop and riding with my wife in the test drive this has been officially one of the rare occasions that I have had an expirence with a repair shop that we left feeling satisfied and most of all no issues or excuses with this or why that is doing what it's doing ,brought vehicle in they had the car for about a week worked out the kinks and released a well shifting Lexus gs300 that on the way home from Buena Park to Victorville achieved 25mpg in stop and go traffic an 77 mile drive with no issues , it's several days later and we took the car for smog which it passed ,the trans was causing a check engine light for not shifting going into limp mode, so with that being said read the reviews Ichiban team are good people and one of the better experiences I've had doing business with automotive mechanics and goodsThank you again Nick & Gabriel JOB well done ??✅???

Nick is the man! I bought an engine from them and have little to no mechanic experience. Nick spent many phone calls talking to me helping me diagnose the issues that I created from not knowing what I was doing! From looking up vacuum diagrams to helping with fuel issues, he was there and answered every time I needed help. I can't imagine better service than what I recieved. Thank you so much for being an awesome company, please continue to take care of your employees because they are more valuable then my words can explain!

Honestly some of the best customer service I’ve ever had. Bought my engine and did the NB6 swap on my Miata. I received it with a cracked oil pan which they took care of the same day I took it back. Then I installed the engine and whenever I had any questions Nick always would walk me through what I needed to do and it was very much appreciated. He did not have to help me as much as he has but it just goes to show how good this place is. I never leave reviews but felt I should, so if I ever need another engine I know where I’m going!

Ordered a VQ engine, the delivery driver drags the engine across the bed of his truck dropping the engine on the side. When I installed the engine it was cracked. I do not suggest ordering from here

Picked up a 5VZFE literally 1 year ago for my 1996 Toyota 4Runner. Put about 10k miles on it since and have had no issues what so ever. I would trust my engine to drive to New York if I had to. Thanks Chris and his tech Ruben. They gave me a damn good deal installed. I recommend these guys and would return for another engine for my FJ when the time comes.

Found a JDM miata 1.6 engine on eBay and know which is IChibanjdm selling it, googled ichibanjdm and found out some bad reviews, but I know if the parts don’t have problems people may not leave reviews and only leave reviews when the part doesn’t like their expectations, so I am taking the risk and give it a try, luckily the results is perfect. Picked up the engine on 12/14 and swapped it on, when I was swapping the Usdm camshaft for the usdm camshaft angle sensor, I had to open the valve cover, the internal is in gold color and even not have scratches on camshafts and bearings, I know the engine is in a pretty healthy condition, after swapped everything on, the engine started at the first try, good compression, everything runs perfect. I know I have to give Ichiban a five stars to correct some thoughts. Thank you Nick will see you next time for some ej engines!P.S. Nick please get a new compression meter lol
