30007 - B18B 94-01 (LS) Complete Change Over
145Hp 127Trq 9.4 Compression (JDM)
142Hp 127Trq 9.2 Compression (USDM)
$ 2200.00 Plus shipping and handling

If it was $1800, I'd be doing that instead of a D15b

so its actually $2200 then and if it's that much i'd rather go with the b16a1 about 158-160 hp? i mean even tho the torque is low? at hmotorsonline it's only for 1500 and at totaljdm its for about 1300? iono i heard people have gotten b18a or b18b swaps for about 800 atleast less than 1000

Yup only way to get them real cheap is finding a donor car at a junk yard. Or the motor already pulled (but they always want more money this way).

Looks like he doesnt want to spend too much money... LSVTEC is good, but definitely a good chunck of money if built right.

theres no H in vtec...
How much you spend depends on where you get it from. Expect to pay upwards of 500 for the vtec head and another 500 for a GOOD b16/gsr tranny.
If you want to know pricing...search

gsr tranny with the ls. i love mine.

dont get confused with the cheap b16's, for they are almost definately the obd0 versions. if you were to put it in an eg+, you will need to convert obd's or get the appropriate ecu, as well as distributor and crap like that. look around for the ls swaps. complete ones from people(not online stores) run around a grand give or take a few hundred
