I feal that getting the b18c1 longblock could save me money but is it worth it or should i just get a complete swap?

What kind of car do you have?

 

depends on the type of car you have.

be more specific and you will get more assistance.

 

It may save u a couple hundred possibly if you can find a tranny somewhere...

if not, go for the complete swap

 

You probably need the entire swap.
1) so many different wires and things
2) the long block wont just replace your existing motor, and have the same tranny..You will need just about everything. I'd go H22a, more HP, little cheaper, getting very popular, so parts are very accessable.

 

i have a 92 hatch cx with a d16z6 , getting parts for the rest of the swap i dont think would be all that much dificult

 

also most longblocks don't include distrubutors or alternators (pretty expensive pieces)

 

I'd only buy the longblock unless you had hookups for the missing pieces or have them lying around. Its just a pain sourcing out the parts you dont have.

IMO Id buy a complete swap from IAS... USDM

 

is that right? I always thought the longblocks come complete except for a tranny and axles....wow I guess you learn something new everyday!

Damn, I was planning on buying a GSR longblock and then an ITR tranny....

 

Might be true for some places but as for Hmotorsonline.com
a B18C1 longblock includes:

- Motor
- Intake Manifold
- Exhaust Manifold
- Injectors
- Fuel Rail
- Throttle body
- Alternator
- Distributor
for $1699.00

a pic for good measures



sorry if it sounds like im spamming for Hmotorsonline, I was just trying to make my point....

 

thats a good *** price, u can prob get a gsr trannies for like 400-500 bux, and then u can also redo your drivetrain with a better clutch and a lighter flywheel not to light tho

 

well actually im going to get the swap from h motors , my brother had just orderd 3 b18c1's for himslef and 2 other kids , we do most of our ordering from them so do u think it is worth getting from them , all i really need is tranny shift linkage , ecu axels and motor mounts?
