Default Picked up a 99 Civic Si today and discovered a pleasant surprise....

Im a dealer in Louisiana. Today at an auction I bought a 99 Civic Si, EBP, pretty clean with a few minor mods or so I thought. It was a trade in on a new car and the dealership sends older vehicles through the auction. I bought it at a pretty good price, bring it back to my shop to clean it up. Low and behold, what do you think I find under the hood, a B18C (no number after the C). Ive been outta the hybrid loop for awhile so I'm not sure what JDM Type R swap is worth or if I should take it out and sell it or list the whole car with it in there. Any suggestions?

PS - It runs like a champ. No problems at all.

guess that really depends on how much work you really feel like doing.

I am sure you could pull the b18c and sell that swap seperate, put together a cheap b16 swap and throw it in and probably make a few extra bucks but thats iff you really feel like doing all that.

If it was just me i would just sell it as is and call it a day

Just becuase it's a B18C doesn't mean it's a type R. Does it have a dual runner intake manifold?

Perhaps its not an R and its a GSR bottom end.
