Price of complete B18C5 motor with tranny and ecu?
Price of complete B18C5 motor with tranny and ecu?
Just weighing my options. I mean rebuild my B18B.
or Supercharging it?...Which sounds definately fun....
but buying a complete ITR motor, tranny, and ecu
sounds alot more smarter....or maybe even a
B18C1 motor, tranny, and ecu....
Does anybody have prices? LS/VTEC is definately out of
the question...I refuse to do that....If it's not OEM, or tested
over hundreds of hours...i refuse to do it....

whats so oem about boosting a honda engine? 
anyhoos, got my 95 GS-R with approx 55k miles for 3300 in GREAT condition..i have seen c5 swaps go for 4.5 to 6k complete...id rather get the b18c1, and save that money for misc stuff.
my vote for jdm b18c, cheaper and a lil more horses !

for the money you spend on a b18c5 swap you can make a b18c1 a whole lot faster, b18c5 comeplete swaps usually go for 5k, but c1's usually run about 3k however you could always buy a b18b for about 1500 complete and spend the rest on a turbo and spank the stock b18c1 and b18c5, just my .02

mamaboy- you live in irvine...CALI...turbo might not be an option since smog issues...right??
the gsr or typer engine swaps sound good..but just incase you don't for whatever
reason..
try a tranny swap...on from an Si or type R...
either case...one with an LSD
