well comparing the b16a2 and b18b2 i have made the decistion to go with the 1.8L and save the extra 700.00-1000.00 for a turbo. The shop quoted me 1800.00 for the swap plus 700-800 in labor. I was trying to see if i could find the swap maybe cheaper. Any good sites that have COMPLETE change over becides HMO.com b/c they are overpriced. If i got the longblock what else do i need. The tranny, what axles?, and waht mounts?

i just moved to baltimore. Dam i would have loved to feel how the motor pulls before swapping. How do you like it?

Also this will be an OBD2 ls so i dont think its too bad. Also install price is CHEAP, everyone else wants like 1000-1200

I still think thats to much. Ive seen gsr swaps for around 2200 and i put my own swaps in its not hard. If you get a swap I will put it in for you for 300 and you can help if you want and maybe learn something. HEH, you can also have a ride in my car anytime you want if you wanna feel how it pulls

speedehatch

what engine mounts and axles did you use? do you like the motor?

Race Egr

If i was you i would just save and get an itr or gsr swap trust me.

speedehatch

why......for the same as one of those swaps i can do my ls swap and boost it and have way more power and torque.

You use almost everything from the motor your putting in. So say your putting a b18b in your car you use any b-series axlex and mounts. They are all interchangable between 92-00. If you are ordering a swap go from import auto salavge they are more expensive ,but they have the cleanest swaps you can get or buy one local. Yeah ls motor is a great motor to boost if you plan on going that root, but i just see alot of ppl selling boosted b18b motors to get itr's you wil run about the same times with itr as with a turbo b18b

my friend just found someone wanting a stock hatcback engine and 500 bucks for a b18b swap

so he paid the 500 bucks, and we installed it for free. came with a brand new ACT clutch and an extra LS tranny that had some grinds.

i did a swap on my 00 civic and i have a b20b...i used most of the 99 Si parts as in:

- Si Axles (reason why i say Si is i found out that it about a 1" or 1 1/2" longer then Teg Axles...i bought GSR first at O'Reilly and had to return them and get Si..."Passenger side axle was longer")
- Si Front Tranny Mount
- Si Rear Mount
- Si Shift Linkage
- Si A/C Bracket
- you will need a B-series Throttle Cable or Mod your own bracket
- any B-series Intermediate Shaft
