I have a 94 Honda Civic HB that has a blown motor. I went to http://www.raceup.com which is a website that sells engines and also has a shop in miami. I spoke with them and looked on the internet and heres the information i have so far

JDM B16A SiR2 Hydro 170HP

Engine/Trans/ECU/Axles - $2,800.00
LSD add - $400 DOHC VTEC 4 Cylinder 16 Valve
• Hydraulic Transmission
• Redline: 8200 rpm
• Diplacement: 1595cc
• Torque: 116 lb-ft@7300
• Horse Power: 170hp@7800
• Compression Ratio: 10.4:1
• P30 OBD-1 or OBD-2 ECU equipped.

Thats just if i were to order the engine and trans. When i called and spoke to the shop owner i was quoted 3950 for the full swap into my car with AC and everything. My question is thus follows

1. have you or anyone you know done business with raceup.com and Ricky's Auto exchange in miami,fl ??? How was there experience?

2. $3950 full swap with AC ..... Hows the price for what im getting ?

3. Feel free to comment on anything in regards to places you know in the south florida area that i should check out thanks in advance

does this mean you are not doing the swap? you are paying someone to do it?

 

^^ Yes thats exactly what it means. Im sick of doing **** myself and having it blow up and go terribly wrong im getting it done with paperwork and such to ease my mind. Plus i dont have the tools and the knowledge to do the swap myself.

 

ok then, that is a decent price. just make sure it's a good mechanic. one guy told me the reason my celica wasn't running properly was because my cat was mesed up, i said are you sure about that, then i informed him i hadn't had a cat for a year and i'll never take my car there again.

 

^^LMAO ........ Thats why im looking for a reputable place with knowledgeable people. Instead of doing what i usually do ..... which is getting the car fixed in some dudes backyard that doesnt have a clue

you must have some mainer blood in you

 

For $2200 +shipping you can have a B18b (LS) engine from http://www.homtorsonline.com and it will come with a 100% start up warranty. They are a very reputable business.

This is of course if you don't care about m@d tyt3 vtak!

 

Or for $2250 you can have B16A 92-95 (SiR-II) Complete Change Over. Same thing your ordering now, only $550 cheaper. This will save you some money. And Hmotorsonline is one of the best places to buy your engines from. They have a very good reputation, you can trust doing business with them.

Quit offering the B18b motor, the man wants VTAK!

Exactly! 2800 before shipping and without the LSD is just rediculous for a b16. No way is that a good deal what so ever +1 for HMO

 

That's very much on the high side. We charge 850 labor for a standard (read non AWD) engine/tranny swap.

Normally an engine can be had from a reputable company for around what was already quoted at 2200 bucks. That would bring your grand total to 3050 and our labor rates are pretty much industry standard. You are on the high side where you are looking right there.

 

KK.... Thanks for the comments ..... Bumped for more views
