Hi i am new to honda-tech. i have heard several sides to the discussion on a b16 swap.
i have a good mechanical know how and the help of two friends with similar know how, i plan on just buying the hasport mounts and harness'. so how simple is it really from there and how long can i expect to spend time wise on this build. Or i live in the midwest anyone reccomend a reputable shop to do a swap.

 

there is a lot of great info on this site that can help you out...just use the search and youll find all that you need

 

well its pretty simple i guess the only problem you might have is the wiring up vtec ect....

 

 

If you are really committed to putting the b16 swap in, and you have a friend to give you a hand, it should take you 1-2 days total, if you know what your doing.
A b16 engine swap into a 95 coupe is not that difficult, like the guy above me said the only thing people have a problem with is the wiring.

If you do decide to go a b16 engine swap, i would reccomend buying from hmotorsonline.com. I just bought a motor from there and it is quality for being used. If you buy a b16 engine and 5 speed tranny with shipping it will run you about 1900$ or so, then you would spend a minimum of 300$ on parts for your swap. If you decide to get your swap done at a shop, they would charge you around 1500$ for labor, so youd be spending over $3,000, opposed to around $2,000. I mean if you have the money, and you really don't wanna do it yourself--then have a shop do it.

I would prefer a b16 engine swap, opposed to most engines. It is affordable and responds very well to bolt ons, as well as turbos.


Either way, I hope you have good luck with your swap

the B16 -> EG swap is one of the easiest, next to a re-re of the stock motor, if you want a detailed walk-through, PM me, ill do my best to explain what i did and what problems i ran into when i did my first swap

Good luck with whatever you decide!
