I really want a 96+ Civic Hatchback. But they only come with 106hp engines. How much does a swap cost? I am interested in maybe a B16A or B18B1 or B18C1, are there big differences in prices for each engine? How much does the swap cost itself. And How about other parts needed?
I know this must get asked a million times. but if you could point me towards a FAQ or something..
Thanks!

B16A(si) should run you around 2000+, B18B are kind of rare now a days, B18C1(gsr) should be between 2800-3300 depending on condition. There should not be to many addtional parts for the B16, only your basic bolt-ons. As far as the B18c you will need a different ECU for higher revs, of course a tranny and some other things I'm not sure of. The performance shop near me charges around 500-800 for the drop.

Best possible place to go for swap info.

Prices:
B16A3: $2300-2800 (Del Sol Vtec)
B16A2: $2800-3300 (99-00 Si Vtec)
B18C1: $3000-3800 (94-01 GSR)
Kinda rough...but you get the idea.

Thanks guys. You say 2000 for the B16A from the Del Sol? And around 6-800 for install and thats it? I guess thats what I was figuring. That works out to about 4500-5000 in Canada. Thanks!

2000+, meaning it shouldn't be that much more
