Varies a lot due to where you get the motor, what motor and where you get the remainder of the parts from.
EP3 subframes, axles, etc. can all be had at a junkyard but if you can't find them you're going to have to go through the dealer.
I'd say ~$7000

Re: (andyman97)
andyman97 your setup is very impressive. After all you have done to the car do you still drive the car daily?
yes if you drop the amount of money for a swap into turbo and building the motor you can attain serious power...however there is still more potential with a kswap since you can build your motor and boost it as well...
it all really comes down to money and what you want out of your car.
the same would go for older civics as well...d series boosted with a built motor can make serious power...but a b series will always have more potential.
if you are on a budget then its probably easier to just boost and slowly build up your motor...
if you have money then it only makes sense to swap to a k-series and then if the power isn't enough build up and boost as well...
one of my friends with simple bolt-ons and some minor adjustments after tuning made 247whp N/A with his JDM K20a motor tuned with KPRO in his DC2 teg.
12s all day
