Needing advice on swap prices
So I have a 96 Civic ek coupe ex model. Factory was a d16y8. Then I swapped in my d16z6. Now I want a b16 swap. I really am just looking for advice and prices to look for I want a b16a2 or really any b-series vtec. But I don't know what all I will need. And can I still use my p28 ecu I have running my z6? And what kind of budget am I looking at for a full turn key swap. Keep in mind also I do want to put it in an run it while I save and buy internals to build and boost

Re: Needing advice on swap prices
Damn bro I just wrote you like 5 paragraphs of useful information got a call swiped back and it was all wiped away. I'll give you my first sentence though, it's most important anyway.

Re: Needing advice on swap prices
You're going to have to use the search button, there is no direct plug and play.
My opinion is swap prices cost more than the car is worth in most cases. So you need to consider the shell itself first

What's a dark grey center console delete worth for a EK?
I tried looking on ebay didn't see any also noticed the prices for regular center consoles are high! They went for $60-$120!

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
I have a 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback VX that I need to sell asap. It's 100% stock. Rare VX model. Only mods are I installed an alarm and window tint. Clean title. It has 396,000 miles. Burns and leaks a lot of oil. Red paint is fading on exterior on roof and some on hood. Exterior 7/10. Interior is in very good condition 9/10. Everything else is in really good condition and it runs great. All interior and under the hood 100% stock. I just drove it on a road trip well over 3,000 miles with no problems whatsoever and it's my daily driver. Manual 5 speed. Gets terrific gas mileage. Tires are new. Oil just changed. Current registration. I've done all the maintenance and repaires that I needed to. I've put a decent amount of money into it, just spent over a grand replacing the entire AC system. Probably paid way more than I should have when I bought it. The odometer read half the miles that I found out are actually on it. I bought it for $4,500. I need to sell this car this month. How much do you think it's worth and what should I sell it for?

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
The body is in nice condition but it's tough to sell a whole car now-a-days. It being a VX doesn't really make much difference since the engine is such high mileage and you're burning "a lot of oil". You're basically selling a shell.
You might have good luck on sites like bringatrailer.

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
So how'd I do? Rebuilt engine (have paperwork), clutch at the same time as engine (paperwork on that too), lowered, header, full exhaust with Magnaflow muffler, short ram, DC strut tower bar up front, rear strut bar (not sure of the brand since it's still wrapped in plastic), full fog light kit with OE switch in a box in the trunk and tint. Needs power steering work, ac work(leaks like a bastard so I'm tossing it out and putting a manual rack in), a hood, some paint work(dad used to be a painter so its getting a full respray) and minor things in the interior. Car has 180k on it, Paid $2400

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
I just bought an EM1 for $6,000. I know I over paid honestly but I wanted it. Car has 86k miles, clean title and everything seemed to check out. It was original EBP which was repainted by the owner before the owner that I bought it from. It was resprayed blue as well. Passed smog, and everything is all stock. I did however, after two days of driving, get a CEL for fuel trim malfunction/fuel system too rich. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, but the car was clean and I didn't want to pass it up so I paid $6k. lol

The other thing that would up the value is rest free rear quater panels and a clean interior and good paint.
However, it's still a salvage title not a clean title, that hurts the value. I think I would take the money and run, but I'm one to buy a blown engine civic for cheap with a regular title and swap the engine to get the money back and then some.
I'll let others chime in on what they think the value is.
Also, moved your post into the proper thread sticky.

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
Getting 2400 USD for a salvage title seems like a pretty decent price to me. The Spec-D header is cheap at 60 bucks, the springs might be a couple of hundred. The only spendy part might be the rims but 17 is a little big for a civic.

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
Asking for some input on pricing a 1994 Civic DX 5-speed in Aztec Green for sale. Original owner since new and has 45,500 miles on it. Mechanically in good condition: engine, transmission, brakes, electrical all in good working order. The interior and carpets are in good to excellent condition for the car's age. The car is parked in a secured lot which is uncovered so there is paint fade, some clearcoat damage, rust on top of the passenger side windshield, parking lot scrape on the passenger front fender and faded side mouldings. Actually the hood wasn't properly latched in the photo and shows a gap, there is no front end damage. This is a Northern California car so it was subject to rain but no snow or intense sun.
Generally mechanically great but could use some work on the exterior paint. Tires are in good condition and a new Interstate battery was recently installed.
Thank you.

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
97 Civic Dx with 98 B20b swap. Low comp engine with p75 head, was told it had about 51k on it. Chassis has 250k on it but is in good condition, was a Cali car, little to no rust. Pr4 Ecu and ls trans, rear disc brake swap, lowered on some skunk2 static shocks and decent tread on the tires. The wiring is iffy to me, she runs rough when starting cold or after sitting for a while, I want/plan on redoing the engine harness because there are 3-4 plugs that are not connected to anything. I am not a Honda guy tbh, I love my old 4x4 toyota's but this seemed like a decent deal. 180+ comp in all cylinders and picked it up for under 2k. I am willing to do work to it. Only adjusted the valves and fixed the air box so far, is this car worth doing work on? When its warm it seems to pull hard and stops on a dime, trans feels good and it handles well.

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?
Hey guys, I'm looking to sell my 447 WHP 1995 EG Coupe for $6000...am I asking too much? I'm in Colorado Springs, CO and it's currently on a street tune of 408 WHP...below are the pics and parts list. Motor is a beast and with the right head will do 700HP easy. I bought the bottom end from a race motor that JoTech built and sold to Deepstage Motorsports in Killeen TX, good to 51 psi or so.
Parts
Neptune E85 tune
GT3076 DBB turbo .86 AR
B18C1 block w/stock head - block build by JoTech for Deepstage Motorsports - good to 51psi
AEBS Sleeves
JE 9.5 pistons
GE Rods
ARP pins and studs
ACT 6 puck clutch
DC2 Type R flywheel
DC2 LSD
Island Motorsports 500hp axles
Synapse Synchronic BOV
Tial Sport WG dumped to exhaust - very quiet, all turbo spool
Kteller full 3" exhaust (from turbo) with Greddy EVO muffler
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
Walbro 255 lph high pressure fuel pump
Energy Dynamics PCV kit
Energy Suspension motor mount kit
BBK SSI intake manifold
UR Billet Throttle-body
Integra rear trailing arms with disc brakes
AGX 4 way adjustable shocks with coilovers
Rear sway bar
Extended ARP wheel studs for slicks
Tein hood dampeners
Interior:
Full Integra GSR dash and console, with heater/blower motor
Integra doors molded to civic doors for correct dash fitting
Integra front seats
DC2 passenger air bag tray
DC2 pedal assemblies
DC2 shift ****
Short shifter
EK sun visors
Custom vinyl and suede with red stitching on doors and rear seat
Triple gauge pod with AF/Boost/Oil Temp
AI Boost controller
Smart turbo timer
Electronic fuel pressure gauge
AC Autotechnic glow gauges
Image Dynamics 12" sub with single channel amp and cap, quick disconnect for removal before racing
Extrerior:
Custom paint
EK side mirrors
Black OEM bumpers and lower panels
Spoon front lip with Type R rear lip
Extras:
HKS EVC V Boost controller
Stock B18C1 valve cover
KBC Helmet
New cam seals and other misc parts
Issues:
No AC/Power steering
Moonroof disconnected, closes prematurely and scratches roof
Transmission needs synchros, gears grind
Airbag light on due to the passenger delete
No spare tire
Front rim slightly bent, holds air perfectly
Driver side door alignment slightly off, bumps up when closing
Driver side A pillar cover missing
Trunk needs to be shut firmly to latch
What I would do:
Integra brake booster
Additional inline fuel pump or full race in-tank fuel pump - allows up to 500 WHP on current build, only tune is needed
New turbo manifold - current RLD FAB unit only works with spring pressure, boost controller is cosmetic so the max you could get is around 500 WHP with this manifold with a new tune and possibly changing springs on the WG.
Built head - originally this block was mated to a built racing head making 650 WHP
Built transmission - carbon synchros with forged drivetrain and bell housing or dog gears
Turbo - a bigger turbo will be needed to break beyond 500WHP but will be detrimental to low end driving.
