Default engine swap/prices for auto

i know i know your all gonna say why are you swapping in a motor on an auto...listen i just want to move faster...my stock 92 hp engine is killing me here...plus i think its about to die anyway...
please dont tell me to do an auto to manual swap
if you can give me some price ranges i can look at for an auto swap...i have looked into b16a1 but not really the b18 but im thinking i might go with a d series SOHC please give me some price quotes too...i know im not the only one here with a 4th gen auto...am i??

Do a ZC swap, use your current tranny. Get the PG7 auto ecu. The ZC and ecu will run you about $650. You would also have to do the MPFI swap. You could prabably do the whole thing for less than $1,000.

i've got an auto as well. i've looked into the Bseries auto swap...and it just won't happen. too many problems you'd run into, ecu/wiring, tranny too big **** like that.
i'm thinking of either putting the sohc vtec head on my 1.5 block, or a ZC. search this forum for info on MINI ME engine setups. there's lots of **** on it.
i used to have a ZC in my dx hatch and i LOVED it. i'm leaning towards getting another one. never really had any major problems. **** happens to all motors tho, and ya gotta realize that.
i've driven an auto sohc vtec before and it was fun. still slow, but pretty fun to drive. alot better/quicker than the DX autos we have. i can only assume the ZC will be just as fun if not more fun.

HTH
