yeah about that

 

I was quoted around $1000-$1200 for a JDM B16A swap from a local shop in northern Ohio.

I was also quoted about $600-$800 for a B17A to B17A swap. This is all for a 92-93 integra GSR. I ended up doing the swap myself.

 

yeah read up on it....do it yourself....and save a few bucks

 

damn West coast is cheap. I'm paying $900 and $400 for auto-manual. That seems to be the going rate on the East coast.

 

now if someone was to pay me to do it and had a garage and heaters and ****...it wouldnt be that expensive

I have looked around myself this is what I found
APG in albany ny $1500
RPM in NYC $1300
DRT in NYC $1400
letme know what you guys find here on the east coast (prefer northeast)

 

i would pay you if u had a garage to work on..........sigh

 

hah undercutter i charge 400...

 

If you have all the parts...I'll do it for ya for $600 here in PA

 

**** , I'll do it just for fun!!!!!!!!!

 

hah arent you the guy that had to take your swap to a shop to finish it off - I really want you working on my swap

 

the just did it to save me time...in the end it turned out to be a bad ecu...everything else was fine

 

me and my mechanic can do it for u for a good price, tell me u'r application....

 

hmm...its gonan be a b18c1 motor dropping into a 98 LS integra...shouldn't be that hard except got to run extra wiring for Vtec right?
well ...let me kno wat u can do for me and i'll come and check out your shop.
i hate to bring it to a shop that will empty my wallet...

You can easily do it your self if you have a place to work. That, of course, is the problem. I was quoted everywhere from $1,000 to $1,600 to do the work two years ago.. Needless to say i said screw that and did it my self in my parents garage in McLean. (i have a townhouse in DC so i couldn't do it there) Before 9/11 you used to be able to rent work bays down at Ft. Meyer but they closed the base to non-military after the attack.

Anyone have a garage to work in somewhare in the Washington area? I'm sure we could get together and have a "swap day party"

Yah..that would be tite...i'm willing to go as much as 1000 for labor..
please help me outt....
i don't have the time to do it myself with school and work on weekends.

can anyone help?

 

I'd be there for that! I'll bring the keg.

 

seeing as though u have a ls, it'll probably be easier, where are u getting the engine from?....is it complete?......i'm sure that my mechanic wouldn't mind doing it for a little less than 900 w/ that set up.....sum of that labor charge is gonna go into the shop it'll be worked at....give me a call.....or email me

a friend of mine got a B16a2 put in his 97 hatch for $708 in southeastern PA.
im still shopping around for my new motor though

 

k2engines.com does swaps, and sells them. They are in Baltimore. Haven't had any experience with them, but they wanted 500$ to install a b16a into my CRX if I bought it from them. Just shop around and do some web searches. If all else fails just rent an air compressor and air tools and go for it.

 

Do it yourself man, that's an easy swap. Look around on the net and have some friends help you out man.

 

I am from Louisville KY. The local shops around here charge between $500 and $800. I am looking into either a B16a2 or B18B In my 95 DX. It will run me near $600 And i'll have my car the next day.
