Default Answer needed please

I wanted to swap a B18C1 with my current B16A gen 2.
Normally the import engine package include quite alot of stuff that i don't want. Can i just order those parts i need ? ? ? Below is a list of parts that come with a engine package :

1)Engine (i don't need the Cam shaft, Valve Spring, Head gasket Cam Gear)
2)Trasmission
3)ECU (i intend to get a Hondata)
4)intake manifold (mayB not needed)
5)Fuel Rail and Injectors (plan to upgrade)
6)Throttle Body (plan to upgrade)
7)Throttle Cable
8)Exhaust Manifold (Plan to install Turbo charger so this one also not needed)
9)Alternator
10)Distributor
11)Starter
12)Clutch
13)Clutch Pressure Plate (plan to upgrade)
14)Flywheel (plan to upgrade)
15)Drive Axles with Intermediate Shaft
16)Shift Linkage
17)Engine and Transmission Mounts

As you can see theres quite alot of stuff is wasted . . So i was wonder issit posible for me to order these stuff that i really needed and not waste my $$ on these redundent parts ? ? ? ?

And one more question . . Can i request them to Bored the Cylinder for me before shipping ? ? ?

Help me please n thanksS

Where are you ordering the engine from? You would have to call the place and tell them what you want to do and see what they say.

Thanks, J

Save your cash with all the upgrades and just buy a type-r motor, that way throttle body, manifold, clutch/flywheel, tranny w/lsd...most of the **** is upgraded already from the factory plus bumped up compression, and forged internals...if your going to stay NA its actually cheaper than all the upgrades.
