Weird H22A Prices?

[CB7Nub]

These prices seem fishy, the H22A Auto looks great but 500 more for manual, then 1000 more for LSD? Seriously...?

JDM H22A Auto - $790

JDM H22A Manual - $1,390

JDM H22A Manual with LSD - $2,350

Also notice how both manual pictures have the exact same engine in them haha.

hmmm they are located in Toronto, Canada; perhaps you can go check them out?

ive heard nothing but bad things about Tiger, so perhaps that could be part of the reason for such attractive prices (50% chance your engine will be toast)... not sure why theyd jack up the LSD though, thats even more expensive than theyve ever been lol

[Maple50175]

Yeah those prices are right, my friend has got an engine from them and had no problems. but yeah auto is cheap of course manual u pay more and LSD you pay the most. but those are correct.

friend got a motor from them and there was no sludge and it runs 100%

Don't even bother, Tiger is crap. You're in Canada though; maybe you can deal w/them locally and go w/a mechanic to check the motor out in person.

i bought my motor from them and it runs good i just have to fix my VSS.

[NinJa_FLiP]

its getting more n more difficult to find a reputable shop that sells jdm motors thatll run well and for a long time w/o rebuilding or fixing something.. that being said, its a great idea to atleast inspect and maybe rebuild any motor u get from anyone.. as for the topic, i can understand the prices on the auto-manual, but the lsd seems to be marked up wayyyyyy too much.. id just buy the auto swap and sell the tranny to get an lsd one..

[Orlando_CB7]

I would buy the auto, make sure it works then swap in the manual LSD later

[nine_deuce]

I got my h22 from Tiger, other than a having to replace a couple things, I've got no complaints

[mozzandherb]

If you can like mentioned, it would be best to go check them out in person, that way you can do a compression test and see which motor is the best

[CB7Nub]

The thing is though why are the manual and LSD so much more?
Doesn't make sense, I could understand maybe $250 or something for LSD and less for manual. Isn't automatic always more expensive than manual?

[deevergote]

Manual is more in demand... they sell mainly to people interested in performance, so the manual is what people want. LSD is even more performance oriented... but most shops add $300 or so for LSD.

Tiger has a bad rep, but then again, those shops that sell to the US from Canada know they can get away with it. For a $2000 swap (or less) if someone gets a crap engine in the US, it's far too expensive to try to go after Tiger legally... All people can do is bash their rep online... and no matter how much they get bashed, plenty of people still go to them. They used to be one of the few reccommended places to go on this forum, but that has since changed... quite a few members have gotten junk from them.

Since you're in Canada, it might be safe. Go there in person, and bring someone that knows what they're looking at.

I would get the auto swap for $790. Use it in your wagon. If you ever want to swap to 5 speed, sell that auto transmission for $200. Pick up a good LSD unit elsewhere for $500-$700.
