just got a quote.....jdm b16 including install and every necessarry parts for $3500 I think I'm getting ripped off....am I?...or is it a good deal?

 

what kind of car is it goin in? thats kinda expensive...

 

95 eg hatch..I really want to get a swap but that's a little steep right?

 

yea sounds kinda steep. what gen of b16a? my friend got a full swap from hmo for 1150 and installed for 800. of course you're gonna need motor mounts and such, and shipping if ordered online. but still 3500 seems too much. shop somewhere else.

 

they said jdm doesn't have a 16a or 16a2 or whatever jdm only have a b16a .....
I do think otherwise

$2700 for JDM GSR plus shipping charges
$1850 for JDM b16 gen 2 plus shipping charges
$1050 for JDM b16 gen 1 plus shipping charges

 

thanks.....

 

yea there is no a2 a3 etc
BUT there is first gen and second gen
GET A SECOND GEN its very important.

 

3500 is way overpriced, a place up in canada quoted me 2500 complete, and ive seen there work.

but im just gonna buy it and do it myself, osaka

 

yup i'm just going to get a motor form osaka and let them install it!

 

wow, the honda world sure is diffrent from what Im used to. as far as engine swaps go, Im used to 240 sr swaps.... 3k for ONLY engine.... and you guys are talking about 1k for an engine thats from japan... wow.

 

3500 doesnt sound bad to me at all. in my area they charge liek 4500 for second gen with install it inlcudes like new axles and everythign else. not much shops around here that do swaps so i guess they be makin alot of profit

 

email me jwl464@aol.com. l have something for you better than b16a. im in your area.

 

$3500 for the complete swap include installation, isn't steep if it's the 99-00 civic si b16a2. get that clear up which motor is going to be used. if it's the first gen; you're ripped off.

 

I'd spend 3 g's on a GSR motor and install it myself...

 

$3500 for it installed is different. Sure it's a little pricey but you wont have to hunt down a place to buy the motor, have it shipped, then haul the crap to the shop. Then pray that you have all the parts you need. For peace of mind and a nice motor swap 3000-3500$ doesn't sound bad. If the swap sucks you have someone to bitch at, as opposed to the blame being on you and no hopes of getting it fixed. My brother's B18B installed in a 5th gen CX was $3500, it was a great car.

 

1st gen B16 is 9.6:1 compression

My B20 has just as much compression.

 

$3000 should be about right

 

PM me. I'm in SD, and if you want a swap done, I'll get you pricing.

JDM B16A SIR2 Hydro tranny, and everything you need for about $3k installed.

 

Ummm, no.

that is kinda steep. my friend got an h22a installed for 3800. complete.

 

 

naw, the cr on 1st gens is higher

 

Ok, so I'll be the beacon of enlightenment.....

JDM "1st gen" B16A is 10.2:1 CR 160 hp
JDM "2nd gen" B16A is 10.4:1 CR 170 hp
