Just make sure you understand the * part of the deal. I would also consider replacing the waterpump, timing belt, thermostat, and possibly the clutch assembly before you drop the motor in your car.

valve cover gasket, cam seals, etc, etc.

People always forget about these costs but they will save alot of headaches in the future.

if you get a complete B16A swap from Hmotors, you still need to buy the aftermarket mount kit and shift linkage as indicated by the asterisk in the Hmotors description - the USDM Si does not have the same chassis as the JDM SiR

you will need to modify the engine wiring harness for VTEC, knock sensor and second O2 sensor

yea when i got my swap from hmotors it had everything,, it came with brand new axels, and i paid the 110 for the linkage... all i had to get extra was the lower radiator hose cuz it was cut,, and a throttle cable from a da.. and i had to get the obd 0 to obd 1 conversion harness cuz i didnt want to waiste my time switchin all that ****,, the swap took about 8 hours and a case and a half of beer lol... fun night.. but hmotors is the ****,, the motor was so fresh.. i highly recomend hmotors!!

o **** youll have to dent the inner fender a lil bit for the alternator to fit good,, and yea youll need mounts,, at first i jus bought some 120 dollar ones on ebay and they worked great,, but then i got hasport cuz they are the **** and they look mad fresh... and yea the wiring for vtec, and the knock is cake.. jus please dont do it all nasty tuck that ****!! lol its up to you.. i have 89 si crx,, and the knuckles and all that worked fine..

I was gonna say if your gonna buy from hmotors just get the package with the ecu, harness, trans and engine...save the money cause you dont need the rest ...but I think hmotors will sell you a package deal with the swap mounts, linkage and harness you need
