So I blew my z6 and was trying to get a replacement motor but descided might as well go for a little more power, this shop quoted me @2200 for installed b20b and ls tranny ecu and intake things of that sort included.
I'm actually paying 2700 after a lsd tranny new seals and power steering ac brackets
My main question is am I paying too much ??

and second question is is the b20b even worth the swap if I end up getting the low compression motor 8.8-1 then it's only got 128 hp that's less than the d15b only thing it has on the D is 134/lbs of torque.

From what I can tell if I got a head that says p75 then it's the low compression but if the head says pr8 it's high compression(9.2)

Second option would be she'll out another 1000 for a h series or f20b swap installed for 3200.

I just bought the 93 civic Si hatchback for 2700 and the motor blew and I also have a 95 dx hatch back that the motor is blown on. So I'm reality I could do both but finances go for one at a time. Rent is due at the first as everyone knows

P75 with knock sensor would also 9.6 cr but I know I'm not getting that one

Doesn't sound bad but I'd definitely want the higher compression B20. I believe if you get one with a knock Sensor it's the higher compression one.

Yeti where do you live? $2700 for a B20 swap is kind of high if you're anywhere near California (as we are the land of JDM). However I understand you're paying for a shop to install your motor, thus the reason for the markup.

I live in San Diego, I think I got the one with the knock sensor is there a single wire plugged into sensor?

Also says p-75 and 97 year I think

that yellow/red wire is oil pressure sensor. the empty threaded hole above there would be where the knock sensor goes.

my opinion is that $2200 installed at a shop with warranty is a fair deal, though I am not as sure about the extra $500 for the lsd tranny, but thats a lot of what the local market has them at I guess. Plus it seems everything costs more in that state...

I am assuming they are not converting to obd2 though which afaik they would need to do to get you past emissions...

Get the whole swap for 1000 bucks and learn how to do it yourself. Its easy as pie, and youll know how to do it.experence is wonderful

I called referee they said it a grey area for smog, as long as you have the emissions it came with and are obd2 you should be able to pass they said even though it's a truck motor in a light vehicle.
