buying a JDM engine that could likely need rebuilt will cost even more.

That's a fact and probably what is in store for you if you buy a JDM engine.

basically why i said it bro... and i dont see how a 1k+ jdm engine costs more than a rebuild unless you totally toasted the engine.... like BAD.

If you follow the trials and tribulations of the people that have done the JDM motor swaps, all too many of them end up having to rebuild their motors sooner rather than later. Spun rod bearings and dead turbos are all too common.
