Im just wondering how much a shop would normally charge to do a full mini-swap
( Parts and Labor) on a 91 CRX DX.

Thanks

 

nothing?

 

if you are going to pay, you should just do a b swap.

best place to swap a mini me is right here.

 

haha, he's right though. They'll charge too much. Either do it yourself after doing some research... http://crx.honda-perf.org/arti....html There's a freebie.
Or call and get some quotes if you have money and no time. It's up to you.

 

doitdub - is that my old 80 express in your signature??? and your vx in mine?

if you want the mini-me, you can walk through it yourself. IMO its not much harder to do a whole swap, and you will be much happier with more than 120hp.

 

The only place in vegas I think you could go to would be LDL by the speedway or a place called hondadoctors. You should assume it will cost the same amount as a shop doing a head gasket and timing belt. It is no extra work.

This means you should expect to pay around $800 for the work, which is what I paid to have my head gasket replaced in Vegas last year.

You got it, Eric. I miss that old hatch man. I haven't been cruisin the express as much as I'd like either. Just been too busy messin with the new wagovan and keepin the crx trackworthy. Got an AutoX coming up Sunday actually.

 

IM asking , because i have someone that is willing to do the Head swap with a fully built head, with racing cams and was told it was port and polished. The guy said he paid 2 grand for the head alone and needs the money. He is willing to do the full swap for 2 grand.... But i dont know : /

 

2 grand for a single slam! Do it

 

: /

 

2 grand.... I bought my y8 head for like $125. and did the swap over the course of a few nights. I like the outcome of what I did because it was a cheap swap. But really, if you have 2k to blow you can get a full b16 change over from hmotorsonline.com or nippon-motors.com. Then just call LDL speedshop in town and have them put it in for you.

 

2k for sohc?
go for a b16

2 grand for a head?

You can buy a motor and have it swapped for about that much.

Just have faith in yourself

 

sohc is a do it urself job its just that simple

 

If your affraid to do a head swap your self then shoot me a pm. I did my own mini me and I can spot ya. Just allow a full weekend to do it so you can go slow.
