Need some advice though! Ive decided to have the engine rebuilt (260k+ miles) and have it turbo ready...gona run a decent system on low psi (under 10). I asked how much a swap would cost (in my area, RI, racing isnt as widespread etc)...the shop owner said 4k total (including work ) Ahem.
He gets his engines locally though, and has realiability. I then showed him Osaka motors site, and how cheap their engines are. He said he would install mine if I bought from them for 1k (labor work)...so pretty much is Osaka 1) reliable when it comes to their engines and my money and 2) is the labor payment right? heh just makin sure

 

Cant anyone vouch for Osaka motors? Before I turbo my SOHC! lol

 

search for "osaka"...im a newbie and have seen trillions of threads about them.

 

Looking for more replies from actual customers...Im talking about buyin the b16a2 of course Ill search anyways tho

 

from what ive seen they offer the cheapest prices around, and if u go pick up the motor they offer special in house deals on other jdm parts, id give it a shot

 

shops around me usually charge about 800 dollars for a swap.

 

yes 6-800 is about what i would charge my friend and i have a nice garage we do swaps out of

 

1000 sounds ok. depends on the area, and like you said if imports arent that popular there then it seems fair.

 

For $1K he better do a damn good job with no worries! I would go with http://www.hondamotorsonline.com Great guys and cheap pricing. Why not turbo though?
