whats the most that i should spend for a full b16 swap into my 96DX hatch?

including labor.......i mean everything

 

why not do it yourself and save the money for upgrades, its really not hard. And it depends on what your talking about. Which b16, what shape is the motor in, etc.

 

Yeah, give some details. There's a shop about 40 mins from my town that does b16 swaps for around $350 I've heard of some that'll do it for $200 and beer.

thirty seven billion dollars.

 

i would guess 3500-4k installed

 

**** thats money 3500-4k.....trippin man.......then i might as well go type R

 

ill sell u a jdm b16a for 2g's.. n i know somewhere u can get it installed for 350... but im down in socal... give me a pm if ur interested

 

I got gen 1 B16A complete engine, tranny, PWO ECU, Axles, Knuckles, shift linkage, motor mounts for an EF, complete wiring harness and some misc extras.
Also had AEM cam gears on it and a mint aftermarket clutch.

Paid 800.00 plus 300.00 to ship from San Diego to New Mexico. And I got to see it running in march.

But then I bought a 2000 SI hydro tranny with LSD for 850.00 shipped sooooooooo.

 

2.5 - 4k

Don't spend any more htan 4k on a B16 tranny + installation, that's way too much...although I'd still recommend doing it yourself, it's easier than you may think, one day is all it takes if you've never done it before...

 

I found a b16 with tranny, shift linkage, axles, ecu, and wiring harness for 1200 bucks. I'm prolly going to pick it up, then do an auto/manual conversion. then have some fun.

from what I've seen in the past few years on the boards, you can get them for 1-3k, and installed, anywhere between 1.2-4k just depends on who you go to, their reliability, their name, if they're busy, what they charge, and what area you'rue in

you could buy a type r with that money jsut probaly not installed

 

I would go poor man's type-r and install it myself. I don't know **** about engine swapping and I'm confident I could do the changeover myself. Maybe a few friends and a hydrolic lift to move the motor.

 

do it your self, b16 swaps are about $2000

if you are to much of a *****, most shops will do it for less than 500

really though, get a b18c, b16's suck

This boy is your new hero. It's way too easy to find someone from honda-tech in Socal that will help you swap it for beers & pizza.
Oh yeah, and spend the extra smacks for the gsr, what? an extra 20 hp & 20 tq?

 

just finished my b16a swap I will break it down

I did this swap mostly by myself, but on occasion when i had help, I had to buy my helpers food, so budget for this. I have a large collection of tools, but i needed to make 2 $100 dollar runs to sears to buy what i needed, (pickle fork, punch set, huge pry bar, etc.) So make sure you have a standing budget in your account for extra tools or stuff you may break. Also consider fixing anything else while engine is out of car, like for instance I changed my timing belt/ water pump, put new strut mounts in, etc. I am sure I am forgeting some major stuff hear so all of the veterans can correct me or add anything in here if i missed something

Total $ Before bolt ons- approx. $3968
