Just got quoted 1000$ for a low mile stock manual engine. Ive been trying to go to different sites to see if thats a good price or if im getting ripped but no sites post prices. Any info would help thanks.

 

What motor is it? What comes with it?

 

stock d16 i believe since my car is non vtec.. and its just the motor

 

thats a rip off...try searching for used low mileage engines from jdm importers...!!!
www.cncmotors.com

 

wow. ummm...can I suggest that maybe its time for an upgrade...if you are gonna drop a G on a stock non-VTEC motor I say hit up hmotorsonline.com and look around...
they currently have the following you might want...
K20A $900
D15B $599
B18B $749
K20A4 $800

 

so they quoted me 750 for motor then 138 for shipping to the shop. the good thing about them is that its a 6000 mile or 6 month warranty as with the shop it was only a 100 day warranty.. the shops also charging me 800 to install. I found a motor for 450 from a dismantler out here that also comes with 100 day warranty but they have no idea how many miles are on it. Wish I had the tools and everything to do this myself

 

I live in cali and to get anything barred is a bitch.. Plus I dont know a lot about swapping and i doubt the shop will swap it for me so thats kind of out of the question for now. I wish I could though

 

Check out www.haspecialist.com great prices on motors.

 

Where are you located? $750 for a D series engine, I feel is to high.
Hell you could a LS or B20 for that.

 

i don't think ive ever paid over 500 for a d series motor. hell i just picked up a bare k24 no accessories or anything for 550. paying for shipping sucks your better off looking for something local and picking it up. swapping this yourself would be your best bet even though most warrantys may be voided. goodluck

 

Yeah...non-vtec d? 1000? No way.

There's so many more options.

Swapping a d isn't really a big deal either...especially if you're getting an exact replacement and not going from non-vtec to v-tec or something. Just color code everything on the engine side...and the harness/vac and coolant line side...and everything else there's really only one place you can put it...i.e. axles etc.

1000 should be like a complete d-series setup to include transmission, new axles, ecu, harness...all kinds of goodies. What all is included in it?

 

I have a low milage D if you want it pay shipping and you can have it. I will even put it on a pallet and drop it off at a shipping place for you.

 

what kind of d-series and how much do you want for it?

 

Lmao...d series matchmaking. Now you pay shipping and you have the rest to spend on FI

 

I sold my perfectly running D15b8 with the CX trans for $60

 

Yeah, $1k is definitely overpriced.

 

Im still looking if anyone has any ideas.. and its actually a d16y8. I dont know why the shop told me it was a y7

 

Where in Cali are you? Why are you tossing another motor in, did you blow your current one?

I would say to buy a used motor off Craigslist or HT from a legit seller and just forget about the mileage. You should be able to find a D16y7 or y8 for around $500 for the complete swap...yes, I have seen them for this price.

If you had the tools and the space I would suggest finding a 97-00 donor car and sell the parts you dont need. I did that with a 98 GSR and ended up getting my perfectly good swap for $1k

 

too steep of a price. try craigslist like stated above.

 

D16y8 = Vtec motor.
I bought mine off a seller on craigslist that still had it in his Del Sol. checked it out and he started it up. ran fresh. bought it next day and installed it myself.

I: Removed my old motor and tranny, unbolted the tranny, swapped a few sensors, changed the engine harness and plugged it in, hooked up the tranny, put everything in the car and had it running in 6 hours.

where in cali do you live? maybe i can help out

 

I ended up just giving in and buying a motor for 700$ kind of steep but 2 weeks without a car is no good so I just went for it. Should have it up and running by sunday. Thanks for all the help
