Never seen them before. That is certainly one clean engine!

Looks like a bargain.

Got an RB25 from them, a few years back, it ran sweet as a nut stock and sounded just a quiet after being boosted to 500bhp. When sold with and extra 10000miles at 500bhp, track days and regular thrashings, it still sounded like a sewing machine at idle, no knocks, no smoke, starting first key turn, every time. Obviously each engine will be different, but the one we got was perfect.

I might be completely wrong here, but I think the sump looks wrong.

Not to knock it but if you read the small print near the bottom you need to send an exchange engine back to them within 2 weeks otherwise your warranty is void and you incure a surcharge.

Well, having searched around, I'm pretty sure that engine ain't from a supe, I believe its from the Aristo as the sump pan is at the front. If you tried to fit this to a supe, the subframe would prove to be a bit of an issue

In fact, I recently recall a thread where a member on here bought a second hand engine, that proved to be incorrect (the sump was like the one shown here), then it got real messy and ended up in court.

This is why i like the club lots of free knowledge and a second pair of eyes

i have just asked the seller to confirm the engine is from a supra ,will be interesting to read his reply

I have a couple of spare sumps if that is a problem. I supplied no engine to them when I bought mine.

ive seen a lot of companies like this that say 'they open the engine and check everything' but i have experienced two companies selling engines and say they check but they do jack shyt!

It's got the front sump as said above, and also the 'hydro' motor on the water pump, which the Supra doesn't have.

It's from an Aristo.
