i juss got a full b16a2 swap in my EK. i also got A/c installed because i will be moving to Florida at the end of summer for school. Heres what i was charged. My friend is a mechanic familiar with swaps so he did the work for me.
Swap....2600........JDM less than 40K
jumper harness....200
mounts and brackets and other **** to convert to obd2...400
ac parts...500
Labor motor....500
Labor ac.....500 (had to take whole dash out etc.)
total came out to like 4700 i spent.........he charged me bout 1000 in labor...but im sure it would be more if he wasnt my boy

 

jesus... 4700 seems like alot for a b16 swap.
edit: i guess it seems so high cause of the ac and the labor for that.

 

ac parts seem offly expensive. Did you get a new/remanufactured compressor?

I don't know, 1k for labor seems good though.

 

you could've gotten a jumper harness from jdmshit.com for 75 shipped to your door.

 

naw man it sounds about right.

for friends who help w\ motor swaps
b\c none helped me

 

Doesn't sounds too awful bad, atleast don't frown on it now, just enjoy your swap. Go drive the **** out of it.

Naw, but friends have helped you with TONS of other ****. Don't get greedy.

 

I just relized how fortunate I am to have friends who are willing to do this type of **** for free

 

I had two friends help me with my swap. In the end I learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and probably improved my friendships with them.

Paying sucks unless you have to.

 

I wish I had friends that would help me with anything automotive related, unfortunately I wouldn't trust any of them with a wrench and my car...none are too technically inclined. Fortunately my dad is...and he would enjoy helpin.

Sounds like a fair price though.

 

I dont know you but i dont even charge that much. I would charge like 800 the most for all that (labor wise). I only charge 300 for swaps. Ehh i guess its different in different parts.

 

anybody know someone like LuserKid in washington??...I want to doooo things to my car!!
