Looking for a good first swap choice
Hey guys I was looking for some help. I read the FAQ's on the swaps but don't know the average pricing or even what swap to even choose. I currently have a 94 eg with a d16z6. A couple of my cousins say to swap an b18b ls motor. My only problem with that is obviously... No VTEC. Can anyone help me on average prices or what to even put in?

Re: Looking for a good first swap choice
cheapest swap for you is a b18b swap from a 94 to 01 integra.
If you get a 1996 to 2001 swap, you will have to source another ecu ( either obd1 p75 or chip your current ecu ) .
If you can find a cheap donor integra, that would be the best, swap the full drivetrain ( engine, transmission, axles, shift linkage, mounts ) to your car.
Or junk yard find.
The next most affordable swap would be a b16 motor with LS transmission ( but not as fun as having the b16 transmission ) .
the best bang for buck option, many have done is go with a B18B full swap ( LS ) . And once you have saved extra $$ , install a Vtec head on the motor to create a LS/Vtec hybrid.
Hope this bit of info helps.

Really?
...Really?
Step 1: Don't thread jack. You end up looking like an ***, and no one helps you.
Step 2: Make sure you're posting somewhere relevant. This is the 92-00 Civic section. You want the year-appropriate Accord section. No, I won't hold your hand and guide you there. You found this sub, you can find the proper one, too.
Step 3: Read this before posting again. After you've read that, read the forum rules (ya know, those things you agreed to when creating your account), and read any and all FAQ and rule stickies in the appropriate subforum before posting.

Re: Looking for a good first swap choice
Nice score on the GSR motor, assuming it's not beat to ****.
One thing I would do, before jumping into the swap, is to go over the motor with a fine tooth comb. Replace all your seals, timing belt, water pump, etc. (Unless they were very recently done).
I did this on the last couple of swaps I did, as having the motor out of the car makes doing crappy jobs soooo much easier, and way less time consuming.

This^ seems to bring this thread to a natural conclusion. If you have any engine swap technical questions not answered by browsing the FAQs sticky, then please create a new thread.
