about 2 grand for the whole swap after having anything. probably looking at around 500 for labor to install it. hmm, turbo, 20psi, resleeve the block. run about 9:1 pistons, while its resleeved, i go with an 84.5mm bore anyway, forged pistons, eagle rods.

Check the magazine HCI where with a $200 junkyard turbo plus intercooler they got ~300 whp@ 12 psi. If it is tuned right you will not have to run 20 psi to get even a full interior car to run better than 12.7.
I had a turbo d16a6 and ran 12.60 @ 112 mph with FULL INTERIOR 4 door EX that was not even tuned correctly. For a reasonably priced setup & basic details, you might check out KG Precision Engineering @ 714-841-8990 or http://www.kgracing.net They have always been very fair with legit parts and honest opinion even when it is NOT to their profit. Also I highly recommend Tom Fujita @ http://www.portflow.com for head and valvetrain assist...

10k if you gonna gold plate it! For 4 or 5k you should be able to go top drawer on everything: pistons, cams, rods, headwork, ECU upgrade, intake and manis, etc.

Well, I will reply but if you want to throw it on ignorant status we have nothing learned or gained. IT IS NOT 10K UNLESS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
You do not need Mugen, Spoon, Toda, Jun, etc. to make it run:
Motor (JDM b16a 1st gen) with tranny and ECU - $1100
Axles - 150
ECU upgrade - 150
ITR pistons - 413
valvespring /train upgrade & Ti retainers - 325
Turbo & intercooler - 750
Custom Piping I/E/Downpipe - 250
Engine management (dep on type) - 700
Rods & Pistons - 700
Misc. Labor, etc.... - 800/1000
Note cams prob NOT necessary, so can deduct the 413
Anyway, you can get a package for about 5k, and that is a rough breakdown. I can refer you to KG if you are in Cali, and you can check on that....

Oh Boy..i dont even know where to start ripping this one apart let me quote it first then ill disect it
i also guess you plan on running a stock clutch,no wastegate,no BOV,no Boost Controller..but wait..you can get all that for $50 lol thatll make one hell of a ghetto set up 
Well, I will reply but if you want to throw it on ignorant status we have nothing learned or gained.ill change this first> IT IS 10K UNLESS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Motor (JDM b16a 1st gen) with tranny and ECU - $1100
Axles - 150<used crap.wont last long
ECU upgrade - 150<who? some hacker? is he gonna chip it too read boost like a hondadata or zdyne? i think not
ITR pistons - 413<hi compression cast pistons..lol good choice should last long at 20psi with that ecu
valvespring /train upgrade & Ti retainers - 325<you call that headwork!?!
Turbo & intercooler - 750<youll be lucky to find just a turbo for $750..unless used crap like i said
Custom Piping I/E/Downpipe - 250<oh my ******* god..where in hell you gonna find someone to making you a custom exhaust manifold,custom intercooler piping and a custom downpipe for $250..keep dreaming
Engine management (dep on type) - 700<thats good for a set of injectors and fuel pump
Rods & Pistons - 700<why you buying pistons twice since you only got 5k to spend lol,,anyway 700 is good for a nice set of titaninum crower or impo rods
Misc. Labor, etc.... - 800/1000<maybe in mexico
Note cams prob NOT necessary, so can deduct the 413

Re: i just sold my mustang to buy a crx, i wanna do a b 16 swap, what do u think (white eg)
Hmm I built my previous motor for alot less than 10k...
B16a Swap $1100
Mounts & linkage $550
LS pistons w/ rings $150
ITR Manifold, JG TB, cams and springs $650 <new cams, others used>
Adjustable FPR $60
Turbo kit $2500 <Fmax mani, used 4/3, deltagate, custom downpipe, GReddy BOV, Vortec FMU, fuel pump, custom piping, water/air intercooler setup, it REALLY needed Injectors>
This is an example and not EXACTLY what I did, I had a few other tuning parts I used N/A but didn't change for F/I, so I left them out. I outran a C5 vette with no tuning, and an hour later I burned down 2 pistons from running lean. BUT it did run, and it ran it's *** off, which is the point of this post.
