Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
It's 350 for an engine no matter what one from u pull it only thing is you don't know what you are getting into...oh and don't go there trying to buy a bare block those ****tards charge for a complete motor

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
oh ok, it will be my first swap. Yeah that sounds like an easy swap though just gatta lift and do a few things and drop. How much longer will you have the transmission, and will it fit a b20z? I might just go for that but im buying 1 thing at a time.

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
Why did yours come come out to $350? I just checked their price list, it says $199 engine complete or did I miss something?

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
I've never bought an engine from there but ik people that have and they charge for every little piece like the intake mani and stuff like that. which is technically part of the engine but when you want to buy a bare block to build or something they try to charge for a whole motor

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
And I'm going to start pulling my motor next week and prob only take me a day or two to get it out depends on how much I work on it..I like to take my time and not mess anyhtign up so my bay still looks factory and it will be ready to be yours after that..and yes I'm like 99% it's the samething. After I have this motor out it will be a fast build so if I still have the ls tranny when my motor is done it's going to go back in. I'm on a budget due to a kid on the way. So in order to buy a b16 tanny I need to sell my ls.

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
where do u pick up your engines at? Now what kind of b20? b20b, b20z etc. Im looking for that edge. But like you said to where it doesn't cost a crazy amount. Do you know if the b20 swaps right out with the D16 or will i have to get someone to do the mods to put it in?
It's not a hard swap...motor mounts, tranny mounts, axles, and ecu has to be changed but the harness is basically plug and play I may be wrong but I think I'm rights...of course you will need b series headers and **** like that...and for price for power I say start with a b20b then save your money and later go build it into a b20v
The transmission will work, any hydraulic b series transmission will work. The swap is fairly simple if you have some automotive knowledge but based on other posts you have made on this forum I am going to suggest getting someone to help you out with this.

I already have the vtec wiring. So i might just go that route. So here are the 2 i have narrowed this down to. Either a b16 or keep the d16 and turbo

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
I'm not going to post my opinion bc I'm a sohc hater..takes too much just just make the power a nonvtec b18 makes easier just to swap it and then do a turbo or something

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
I been out of the scene and I dont know of any but next one I se e I will hit u up! Robert its that time of year and I'm itching for a k-frank. There probably cheaper to build now right? So how much am I looking at with for 250+whp @ 505 elevation? There some nice $10,000+ rides for sale but if costs don't get to o crazy I rather build one.

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
Same here, the scene got dead, the hatch is actually for my little brother, we swapped the K I had into the CRX and I told him to keep it.
I test drove an Audi R8 in Cali in December. If this year oil gets up there, I might break the bank and add that car to my house loan!

If it's not a b, k, or a j I don't want it...I would love to k swap my civic one day but it's not currently in my budget. My dream is to take the b I'm building to go in my eg and put it in a crx and k swap my hatch. Daily the rex and have the hatch to play int he weekends.

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
Well ship the hatch here and well try to make a deal, Im interested. I only have my truck down here besides the EM1 at the moment so theres no real reason for me to make the drive to ABQ. Ill see if we make it over there one of these weekends.

Re: Albuquerque, New Mexico Honda Squad
Oh, I was assuming you were in ABQ since you were asking about cars there. Never mind then, I wouldn't drive a long distance to go to the Tuesday meet its not that sweet haha. I looked at shipping my car when I moved back and that **** is super expensive

Hey everyone! I am just throwing a note that i will be selling my 95 del sol w the d16z6. Found out i'm having a kid and the sol just isn't big enough as you all know. Plus i fell in love with the 2012 subaru legacy w the boxter engine. So if interested hit me up, I'm trying to get $4500 for it, 122000 miles, headers, cold air, exhaust. Or hit me up for pics or to see the car. I'm here in albuquerque.
