jdmsource.ca is a good place. Due to the fact i live in calgary i have visited there place once or twice with my buddy. And also my dad has delievered and picked up a few car parts from them.

They are clean and from previous experice they know what there talking about, and they also deal with customers in a calm and collected manner, there a good company.

thanx guys, i am going to be getting the b18c1, and i want lsd theres a 400 dollar difference with hmotors and jdmsource.ca witch isnt that much but i live in ny and i think jdmsource is a lot closer= cheaper shiping as well. but i would pay and extra $500 for better quality, service, and product

If Hmotors added a 100 dollars to their excisting prices, Id still by buy from them first and foremost. If your spending 3k for a motor. whats $350 more dollars for shipping?

hmotors if you wanna get a second ******* torn open....they charge too much...i say check the hondamarketplace alot of people sell pretty good motors for alot cheaper that ripoff HMO....dude, sometime you can find gsr motors at the junkyards for cheap....dont get me wrong, websites like HMO have 100% startup warranty and everything but im sure you can find beter deals somewhere else....try the recycler.com go to junkyards..

Yeah, for whatever reason if you feel like you have extra money to waste on a 100% startup warranty and feel that the cylinders aren't bored out enough and some extra reaming needs to be done on something (like your ***) buy from hmotors.

I have had 5 motors from hmotors in total come to my house and no issues from any of them. Even though we blew one up withing 3 months it wasnt there fault it was driver error.

honda97hb

well i am going to call around today and see if i can find anything. i know a guy at a speed shop. he has a 95 integra gsr with 60,000 miles on it at the shop. it was totaled in the back of the car. he said he would install iit in my car for $3100.(i know people that are friends with him, so i dont know if that why hes giving me a low price) but it blows white smoke at high rpm's. i dont know if this could be from the motor sitting or what. but the car runs great! but like i said i would rather spend more money and get a better motor. well what do you guys think?
thanx a lot again you guys are very helpfull!!!!!!!

also how hard is this swap(b18c1) to do in a 97 hatch? i dont know a TON about swaping them. i dont really know what i have to do but i am sure i can find how to some where on the internet that why i am thinking i should just like someone that has done it 1000000 times and get it done right, lol. or is it really not that hard?

dude, it really isnt hard...i remember when i first got my hatch, i didnt know sht about swappin motors...then a homie of mine was gonna swap his motor to an Lsvtec so i helped him out...dude, after that, it was easy as pie...did my own swap..i picked it up quick...should really be that hard...im sure you can learn by just reading the forum and trying it....

also i searched for "install guide" for putting the gsr in my hatch and i did not find anything! any one have any thing that can help me??? thanx, sorry about the noob questions

honda97hb

ii fould this but its for an si https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1644898

B18CivicEH2

no need to cut and weld....you just gots to make sure you motor is OBD2a or convert it to OBD2a (ecu, dizzy, injectors,etc)...im sure you can use that link and the only thing you need to make sure you got correct is the driver side motor mount..

your basically paying for the papers and 100% startup warranty...all of my friends/family have purchased motors from classified ads and none of them has ever gotten a bad motor. Most b-series motors coming from a shop with papers is going to be above 2k thats that...
