here is my plans, I met this guy that is selling a full b16c5, with tranny, wiring harness, engine, axels, ecu. Everything for a swap, I want to buy a 92 civic hb, and drop the motor, what model do i need, or does any model work? Also what else should i look for in doing this, Im buying all those parts above for 5800, and the car for 2000, the motor has 15k miles on garantee out of a 2000 type-r integra. Let me know what i need to do thanks guys.

Michael

ps: im new and wanting to learn.

 

b16c5??? do you mean b18c5? $5800 is expensive, i think that guy is trying to get over you.

 

2000 Type R complete swap , Comes complete with , B18C5 complete engine assembly,Transmission,Axles,Engine harness, ECU,Shift linkage,Motor mounts, everything need to put this powerful swap into your car. Engine came out of a 2000 Black Acura Interga Type R that was purchased as a totaled vehicle.

your correct sorry, thanks man. I don't know is this good or bad?

 

Yeah man you're talking about a B18C5, not a B16C5. There was no such thing as a B16C5 - the B16 Type R motor is a B16B.

No biggie -you said you want to learn so you've come to the right place.

http://www.hondamotorsonline.com sells the full Type R swaps for only $4,800.00. Tell your seller this and even print up their price lists and see if he'll knock off some moneym because $5,800.00 is about the 2 years ago price for the Integra Type R swaps.

I have a Type R motor in my 1992 Civic hatch so if you have any questions I'm sure that myself and others can help you with anything you need.



Good luck!

***EDIT***

If that motor is 100% for sure legit then it's not a horrible deal.

Let me explain.

The mileage is super-low and if it's from a 2000 ITR then you also know the motor's basically brand new. That to me is the only real selling point - 100% for sure you 'll know the mileage and condition.

Where was the car hit?

 

the price is a little high, but the mileage is pretty low and the engine's history is known. if you have the money, do it. it's one hell of a fast car.

any 1992-2000 hatchback can easily house this engine. i'd go with a 1992-1994, personally, because it's the best looking .

the swap is easy. my friend and I can do it in five hours now

 

not sure, i can ask all these questions, i think he just picked up. So prob about a year ago im guessing, its prob been sitting. but yea 15k miles, says he has papers, and everything.

 

You need to take it easy.

First buy the car. Then do alot of research. Any 92-95 will do.

There is no b16c5. It's the b18c5

The swap can be bought from http://www.hondamotorsonline.com or http://www.importsalvage.com for much cheaper + it is from Japan, so it makes a little bit more power.

To see what is involved in the swap, take a look here....
