Hey guys ive been investigating swaps for a while and searching quite a while. I have considered purchasing a whole gsr for a swap so i woudlnt have to hunt down little parts. Can everyone tell me how much they payed for their swap plus the random parts involved in putting it in? how about things that were wrong with the motor upon receival

 

First swap in my 92 VX back in 2000 - 1999 USDM B18C1 with verified 13K miles from a salvage yard in Topeka, KS. Paid $3750 shipped for the full swap and installed it myself. I received EVERYTHING and I do mean everything plus a full cabin harness and OBD1 P72 ECU from another 95 GSR. That was shipped right to my door. It might seem like a lot to some, but it was worth every penny! Only 33K on it to date and after all the abuse it still looks and runs as new as it did when I first put it in.

 

only one person has swaped in a B??

 

2875 to my door, 15 for throttle cable, 20 for oil and misc

b16a jdm, lsd, axles, shift linkage, everything needed, shipped to south dakota

i wish steve at hmotors was my dad

 

bought a wrecked 2000 Prelude for $1200 + $600 mounts + $500 axles = $2300

 

$2300 total including labor for a B16 into my 91 HF.

 

$1,200 complete 98' LS swap

and

$2,000 for a 97' B20b w/ gsr tranny

 

2100 shipped for a b16a sir2

 

Bought a complete 97 LS swap (engine, trans, linkage, mounts, harness, ecu) from a local for $1100. Picked up an alternator on H-T for additional $50.

Sold Teg mounts/linkage, got 99 Si mounts linkage for my EK with proceeds...worked out even!

Traded LS trans for 2 broke GSR trannies, rebuilt one good GSR from the 2.

So in the end I got B18B w/GSR tranny complete swap for $1150
