Sorry if this is in the wrong section or a newb question.I got a 94 eg6 and I wanna drop a jdm b16.

Is $850 a good price on labor?

 

um, no!!

 

whats a good price then?

 

FREE!! just do it yourself

 

I have no tools,garage or time. If something goes wrong when i do it i'm screwed. Its my daily driver so i want it done right.

 

isnt 850 like avg? ive seen ppl pay 1k

 

If you are keeping an OBDI setup, I'd not pay a dime over 500 dollars.

 

There are a lot of good respectable mechanics in NJ - even some HT members might offer to help you for half the price. I work for beer

 

Yah, 850 is wayy too much. 500 is more like it and the going rate. Who is doing your install, hehe

 

500max

 

Thanks guys i was getting ripped off. I found another place that will do any b-series swap for $500.They look like they do really good work too.

 

That sounds right for a shop. You could find people on H-T that would do it for 5 or 600. Then you could find some (like me) that do it for 300.

 

UUMMMH yeah!!!

 

thanks for the offer but i'd rather hold a shop responsible if something goes wrong.They have a gen 2 I might buy for 1200.

 

The swap is so simple its rediculous.. honda sucks for giving us the SOHC's. lol

its real easy to do, im sure their is a tuner shop around you to do it

 

you should just drop the motor in yourself..save the time & money..it's a one day swap..it should take 45 min to an hour to get the SOHC out and the DOHC back in the engine bay..just make sure you have everything for the swap..piece of cake

 

that price is about right for a shop to do it in jersey. the shop wanted 1500 from me down the street.

 

For $500 you could build yourself the collection of tools to do this job!

 

My b16 swap labor was $300 + my old D16z6 motor from my friends. And they wanted more. I was a noob then, learned alot though.

Ask some friends for a garage space and tools, then work for beer or $200 or something like that. $850 no way!

 

i'm getting it done at http://www.1320online.com They do good work, they're fast and if anything goes wrong they'll help me out. I'll do everything else myself. I'm not good at wiring.They got a special now. $500 for any b-series swap

 

man, i completely overcharged if u are getting a b16 dropped in. i paid $750 to get my blown d16 replaced with another d16...course, they quoted me at 500 but i guess there were incidental cost associated with the swap?

 

what else did they do? They're offering me no charge to throw in a clutch and flywheel if I get it through them.

 

if you can install a new clutch b4 you drop it in it makes it easier long run trust me lol.
