Worth it for a complete swap? All I can afford, and I'm afraide if I save up i'll end up dumping the extra into suspension / etc enstead of going for a higher swap

Driving a 96 sol bone stock (D16Y7) , no plans to boost.

 

Major difference from the y7 to the B16a.

 

Noticeable for a DD?

Or just at higher RPMS?

 

you will notice the difference more in the mid to high rpms but down low it will feel the same and still get great MPG

 

And if I was going to get one from HMO.com which one should I ****** up?

And they come with everything right? So I could just take it to a shop and pay someone to drop it in for me and be good to go?

Should I upgrade / improve anything else before I swap? Car is bone stock.

 

Yes, Hmotors will provide you with everything you need, just make sure you read the print of whats included, just to make thing clear.
Remember
Motor *(complete with sensors and mounts, ect)
trans*
Linkage*
Wiring harness (for LHD car) *
ECU*

In my opinion, you may get a better experience out of it all by investing in hasport (or any other company) mounts, and it would be wise to buy a new clutch for it before its all swapped in. Either OEM or upgraded would be fine.

 

Cool thanks, yeah if I get a package from HMO i'll upgrade the mounts and LSD tranny and all that other stuff they offer


but pre-swap anything I should do?

 

if you have a garage i'd highly advise saving the money to pay a shop to do it, and invest in some tools and do it yourself.

i'd change the timing belt/water pump, while the motor is out, along with the clutch.

honestly swapping a motor isn't very hard.
goodluck

Sometimes, lol.

 

swapping a motor is easy if you arent dumb about it. if you think logicaly about its just some bolts fluids and plugs

 

yeah and so long as nothing unexpected goes wrong
