But,i need someone to drop it in,so today i went the shop,where they specialize jdm engine swap and they charge 1300 labor to swap my old engine out and b16 in.i was expecting around 500 bucks.how much cost do you guys swap it for

 

what area do you live in?

 

[QUOTE=95sloweg;37676086]what area do you live in?[/Q,they do racing,turbo,swap,all about performance

 

too far from me buddy. cant help you there.

 

u have a hatch. if so drive to toronto with the swap in the hatch and i do for $400

 

thanks,but what part is the most hardest to do,is it wire harness

 

what kind of year/car are you wanting to swap the b16 in. in my opinion its just the wiring thats the hardest.

 

ya just wiring and might be abit more hard for the jdm swap

 

did not get it yet,i will shiping it to your home,hopfully

 

damn slow 92 d15b7 sedan

 

how much to get your swap,so i can negotiate the man

 

is the b16 in dudes car? make sure you do a compression test if it is. its an older motor.

if the compression #'s are good (170 min. 200 max) then go for it. just remember to keep the throttle plate fully open when doing the compression test. and dont forget to bring a 10mm socket, extentions, ratchet, compression tester (rent from autozone i think), and i think 5/8" socket for the spark plugs. and take out the 15A fuse for the fuel injection or else fuel will be in your cylinders.

oh and if the numbers are good, then i'd say offer $1300 for the complete swap

 

If its a complete swap from a 92-95 Civic, mounts, linkages & everything, it will go in just the way your d15b7 will come out. You'll just have to add the wires for vtec and the knock sensor if you use your d15's harness, but I think the JDM harness has the main connector in the same spot. You'll have to run the extra wires from your ecu harness no matter what.

 

i will get b16 at hmotor.com,the compression should be tested already in japan,before they ship it here.so,should i just pay around 500 to swap it or 1300,well 1300,is way over,what i expected to be
