My Dad wants me to get another d-series transmission, if possiable but I wana go ahead and do a swap while my car is down, I have 500 right now for a B-series swap. What would be the cheapiest...b18a or b16? I want to buy a whole swap but with out the axles if thats poss. can someone point me to the right direction? thanx _Ben

 

500 might get you the custom mounts you need then you need custom axles and then need to buy the motor. if you do the swap yourself it will just cost you the price of parts-a shop doing it you will look at about 4000 big ones

 

honestly, you wont get very much with just 500bucks..

 

bro for 500 u can get a zc motor

 

youll need a lil more $$ then that for a B series swap.

your transmission, your axle? i'm assuming either would be from driving your car as it shouldn't be driven (over-revved, dropping the clutch, burning out, etc.) ~~>especially on the street. enough with the lecture (assuming you're young since your dad is telling you what to do, in this case which he's right)....

you're looking at about 3/4 of a ZC w/tranny with your $500. for all the parts for a B-series swap(engine, trans, ECU, axles, mounts, misc. items), you're looking ~$2000 IF you install it yourself. more around $2500-$3000 installed by a mechanic. for $500, you might be able to get a D16Z6 (sorry if that's the wrong engine code, it's late), basically a 1.6 SOHC VTEC from a 92-95 Civic Si. in that case, you'll still need a new tranny.

buy a new tranny for now, have a reliable vehicle. when you have the $, go for a swap. don't get yourself into all kinds of debt for your car, it's not worth it.
