At the local shop, they said it would be around $5500 total including axles, ecu, motor, labor, harness, wiring, and motor mounts to put a B18C1 into a CRX. I was thinking about purchasing a clean CRX for $2000 and then swapping, but the swap price is really high. Do you think there are better prices out there? (with quality work)

 

why not just do the swap yourself and save money?

he may want it done right and not half ***(by himself doing it)

 

Not all of us are mechanically inclined to rip our cars apart.

 

Do it yourself or just make sure who ever does the wiring knows what the hell there doing. I paid some guy 300 to do all the wiring for my car and he fu#@ed it all up then had a local shop fix it for another 500 and im still having issues. Damn i love my honda but i f@&%ing hate wiring.

 

payed less than a thousand bought all the parts & installed myself (b-16)not a gsr

 

I envy you

 

do it yourself, its not that hard. just make sure you have the tools.

 

$2300 for a B16 swap but I had to buy the mounts and shiftlinkage.

 

I would do it myself, but I don't have a garage.
I also don't have the "cherry picker" for the engine, but I could probably rent that for cheap.

 

Did my b16a swap in a friends garage for about 2000 including mounts and linkage. And I learned alot by doing it myself.
