I'm considering doing a B20 swap in my car, but i was wondering about the total cost of the setup to get it in my car and running. I'm not going to be putting a VTEC head on it, but i want a GSR tranny........other than that i think i only need LS intake manif, and ECU, oh, and axles, but how much should i expect to pay for this? Basically i'm trying to price the cost of the complete swap, so if you've done this, then maybe you could help me out. THANKS

2100 w/out the price of the tranny.

i had my swap done proffesionally. it cost me less then 4000$ at first. b20b with LS parts (tranny, axles, manifold, etc). but at the end, i ended up getting screwed.

id hook you up with the shop i am going to, but u live to damn far, but with ur hatch ur gonna need motor mounts, tranny, axles, all the bull, u know, mine just drops in, i just need to change out the OBD-2 to OBD-0, so its all good, ill probably get it done for 1200, cuz they are pretty tight, and i am gonna bring to them hopefully tomorrow.

I paid $2,000 for my set up. i got GSR mounts, GSR tranny (50k), ls axles, ls ecu, intake b18b manifold, ls b18b throttle body, B20b (38k), integra throttle cable, wire harness, and a 4-1 stainless header. and the guy i got it from helped me put it in. for the price of the CRV motor ($750-1000) you might as well get a b18b w/ b16 head. but good luck. oh and i love my swap. i'm sure you will like all the low end it has.

true i could go with a LS vtec conversion, for roughly the same price, but my motor has 151k and thats kinda pushing it especially on the block, and it also has a blown head gasket, so i dont know how well the block is gonna hold up, but i am gonna be happy with my B20 swap, but u got a good deal on ur swap into ur DX, i am impressed, but u didnt urself right?

JDMs1eeper

me and the guy i baught it from. took us like 4 1/2 hours goofin off to take the DX out and drop the new swap in. it would have been quicker if we didnt take so many breaks and messed around haha.. but yah.

What do you think I should do in my car, I was curious about a b20 with a 16 VTEC head on it? I heard thats a nasty swap. Let me know, thanks.

JDMs1eeper

b20 vtec and ls vtec's are both sweet hybrids.

vehic_illu

yeah, my B21 is doing the normal oil leaker thing right now, but I think I can salvage it. What machine work has to be done to put a 16 vtec head on it?

update on my swap, i got a B20 vtec swap for 2200 in my car including a racing clutch, and i think it would be better to swap ur motor because u probably have a lot of miles on ur car, right?

thehatchninja

i'm guessing you have connections and what not? or if not what/who did you go through?

vehic_illu

Yeah, I have high miles and I've decided to start with a fresh block. Where did you go through to get it? 1350 huh? My buddy is from Santa Rosa, So I can always work something out. I want to do this swap because I can retain all my ac and ps as well as same axles and mounts. So, hows that thing run?
