Default Motor swap time????

I recently got a jdm b16a and was wondering what the average time was to put it in? I have read tons of different times that people have posted but none seem to be an average. I have an ek if that helps.

if u have everything u need lined up, and u know what your doing... then it should take only like 4 hours. if u work non-stop.

i assume its your first swap... and u probably will run into some problems. so maybe 2 days.

All I know is the shop that did mine had my D16 out in 45 minutes. I left after that, so I don't know how long to put the B series in. I would say air tools, a lift, and something to slide the motor with will greatly reduce the time.
