How much can I sell a D16Y8 (sohc v-tech) motor with ECU and auto transmission for? 85K miles.

B18C5-EH2

Is it a V-Tech?



Or a <FONT COLOR="red">VTEC</FONT>?

I'm pretty sure its VTEC. It's whatever the stock motor for an EX is.

Okay, really though your motor is pretty desirable for tothers looking to build a SOHC screamer.

I'd say around $800.00 *maybe* - but remember that whoever buys it will have to put money into a timing belt and water pump and misc. parts that are due at 90K.

I've seen them go as low as FREE - $350.00 all the way up to $900.00+ from a yard.

Tiiiiight. 800 bucks is 800 less that I'll have to spend on my B16A.

B18C5-EH2

Well that was an educated guess. The market really determines the price. Find someone who really NEEDS it and $800.00 isn't too unfiar of a price.

You might end up dumping it for more like $650.00 or so. That's what I paid for one when I needed it the next day to put my 1992 Si back to stock to sell it in a hurry.

I mean it really doesnt matter how much I'm going to sell it for. It's going to sit in my garage if I dont sell it and any amount of money is going to help out with the B16A and the swap installation. Do you know how much I'm looking at for a swap? Keep in mind, I'm swaping the auto trany for a manual one too.

hard to say what your final bill will be but add stuff up like :

engine, tranny, ecu, shiftlinkage 2400

you will need manual parts like pedals, clutch master and slave cylindars prolly other stuff I might be forgeting. all this can be had for like 100 - 200 from a junkyard if you get lucky but expect to pay more like 500.

then comes the big deal LABOR, They will prolly give you a break since you doing it at the same time, but you're prolly looking at like 2000-2500 labor.

or you can become friends with a shop and maybe they will hook you up, like Im getting a b18b + tranny swap + turbo kit installed for like a $1k in labor.

also factor in stupid **** like oil, belts, and misc stuff like that.

Oh well I forgot it was an auto.



Nobody for performance will want your auto. Break the engine and tranny apart and sell them separately.

kevcp

I'll give you $200 for it...

TheAutoboxer

can you tkae a picture of the solenoid at the top of the tranny, twords the passnghr wheel.. pLEASE !

cccya

well beacuse it an auto i'd give you $200-300 depending on weather or not i get the wiring harness with it or not.....

hondasport2000

if it was a v-tech you'd be laughing, those go for a lot of $$$.

SprayinCX

i paid $500 for a complete d16ya swap. ecu,axles,manual tranny,harness.

i say 500 is good round price. not to high not to low. but yours is a auto so........i dunno

Ricey McRicerton

If you want to part it out, I NEED that MAP sensor off of it!!

igo4bmx

500 sounds right.
i got my d16y8 tranny for 50 bucks

BlendedEJ8

i'll give you $350 shipped for the head,ecu, intake mani and wiring harness.lmk i'de like to have it. basically i want a complete head minus the exhaust mani; unless you want to throw that in also..

DX Hybridizer

Honestly to sell it decent I'd say 350 to 400. I bought mine with 70K miles on it auto for 350. You have to remember unless there just doing a barebones replacment (most aren't). You will have to have the ecu chipped or buy a new one. Also nobody will probably want the trans with it. I think you should try selling the motor and ecu together for 350-400 and try getting anyone to take that auto off your hands for another 100 maybe.

Just a honest suggestion. At the most you could squeeze the motor and ecu for

probably like 650. GOOD LUCK!

EDIT: JUst remember this is OBDII the ecu will be useless to most of us. I'd try selling them all seperate.

BlendedEJ8

like i said.. i'll buy the full head w'ecu and harness or the full bock for like $350-400 shipped. lmk

Well this is basically a cleverly-worded for sale topic, so it too is locked like the others...
