has the swap already started? have you signed papers bro? thats way too much $$$ to be paying for a ITR swap bro.

krazymarine

is it?? cuz everywhere i look for an engine swap change over they got for about 5000 http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30011 also what would be a good price for the swap??

krazymarine

or where can i get a cheaper engine swap (engine , tranny, ecu) and everything i would need for the swap

FullRaceHonda

the classifieds on here, **** for that much money you could do a k20 type r swap if you did the work yourself/freinds did it for you, thats alot of ****** money just to dump in your honda civic engine bay for like 180whp and a lsd tranny

EK9Rider

too much money -- search online or ebay for a swap -- and then pick up a helms and o the the work yourself.

it's a straight drop in swap - all you need is an ex harness and your set

you'd probably save yourself atleast 2 grand if you did the work yourself

Libertariat

Yep, just buy the swap from hmotors or in the marketplace and get a helms.

But for $5000 I'd rather have 30 more hp and 30 more torque and still have enough money left over for a set of volk wheels.

Yes, I'm whoring out the h2b agian,

krazymarine

ok you guys are saying the an itr wouldn't be $5000 but thats how much hmo is charging for the swap didn't you guys check the link?? everywhere i look for the swap goes for over $4500 or wtf am i missing damm itt!!!!! it ***** me off i can't find thedeal you guys are ghossshhh ........
also i dont have the time to swap it myself my only day off is sunday.

Team RS2

Word.

The type-r motor is expensive because:

1) it's a good, strong n/a motor and a lot of n/a lovers want them
2) Red valve cover
3) involves the phrase "Type-r"
4) it's very reliable and can be beat on regularly.

Team RS2

no becuase the itr valvetrain is superior, it comes with imho the best factory intake manifold and piston setup for all motor, a reworked san cast factory smoothed and blue printed block and pr3 head

mechanically it is the factory tuner of all b series block compared to the average everyday type ****, but when you break it down you can do all of this and 1 step further on a rebuild including sanding and reworking all the oil gallaries, knige edging the crank, gasket matching or further honing and clearing of the ports, cleaning up the rough casting ports in the bottom of the block, but im no n/a guy my self i prefer the spinning exhaust whistle myself

krazymarine

so.. can you guys point me in the right direction to find the motor tranny, ecu, and all the parts i'll need for the swap??
like a web site??? btw I'm looking for a 98+ itr...
cuz passwordjdm charges like 4g's for a 98+ swap
and hmo is charging like 5g's for it
any other places I should be looking at??

Team RS2

if its really too mush buy it used or poormans type-r it gets expensive but if you look at it its a new engine and if you blueprint/modify the blokc yourself you can get it to be a NICE horsepower cranking machine, for easy tips or w/e this old dude out in texas larry widmer is the KING of motors used to build motors for nascar, etc owns a little sawp called endyn has a website with tips and tricks for diy building to get the legindary 300hp b18 he built

i really dont mind paying the 7g's for the swap. i just want to know if it is too much for what im getting.
I don't want to build the motor I just want to be fast and not worry about having to fix it everyother day or rebuild the motor since I don't have the time to do it.
cuz i could get a ctr or gsr for 6g's or a b16 for 5g's with the same upgrades.
I just don't want to pay more than i have to ...
thank you for you're help guy's

yea i know how you feel bro, good choice with the ITR motor, but you are paying way too much for the motor bro. I say search more and have the motor shipped to your house. then have a local shop install it bro. A install is usually $500 or so.

jsilva

Go in the classifieds for your area and i bet theres someone near you who is knowledgable and will do the swap for like 500 bucks labor. Buy the motor and parts for the 4-5k and you still saved yourself a couple grand.

krazymarine

yea the shop charges like 550 for the swap with the wires were i feel they gang rapping me is for the other 2g's and the fu&(*&* up part is that i know how do all the work, i just dont have the time for it..
