thinking of putting a B16 into a CRX i bought , (its for sale BTW, check my sig) its an 89 DX. I need a price range of what you think itll cost.. This woudl be my first official swap. worth it?

 

im into my whole car including b16a swap about 3000$$ give or take a few. im proud of my 3000$ 14 second car to!
500-car
1100 swap
mounts- under 200
misc. 500
tires/rims- 400
exhaust- 250

 

I got real lucky. I was looking for an injector resistor box when I stumbled across a wrecked 92 GSR. It was a small junk yard here in Upstate NY, mostly domestics. I ended up getting the B17A1 for $267.50, complete swap. I also paid $150 for the GSR rear disk brake conversion along with the front brakes.

 

to me doing a b-series swap correctly means using a Z10 or Jim Fab unit, that adds $400-$500 or so right there.

 

well thank you for gracing us with your opinion, however the z10 cross member isnot necessary for a b16a swap so it really has nothing to do with question at hand

i spent about 2300 doing the labor myself, thats for just the swap no mods.

 

my crx is a 91 SI with a skunk2 built B16 (intake manifold, stage 2 cams, retainers, coilovers,etc...) upgraded valvetrain, skunk2 ecu, jet chipped control module...whole buncha stuff...hasport mounts...great body minus the bullet hole

3500 bones

deals are out ther just keep an eye open

 

For my 1st swap I paid $2500 installed at Hasport in phoenix....that was way back in the day....1998-1999 I think.....I knew the owners pretty well so I got a decent price back then....

edit: it was a 90 civic dx hb

with good friends i got b16 dc header (used) aem intake and everything else included for the swap for 2300 plus labor which i did all myself so that saves you lots of dough and hasport mounts

Here is what I bought for my swap, broken down. I had a small hook-up at the dealer. Check it out. Ryan

 

i got 1600 into my car and motor , pretty cheap huh?

 

c'mon chris tell them where you really got the swap, jp

 

are ya'll not doing any type of rebuild when swapping? judging by the prices it seems that ya'll maybe fixing a little & then just dropping it in. i wouldn't feel comfortable spending 12-1500 on a motor & then just dropping it in, especially since these older b16's have just been sitting around for years. that's why i'm just rebuilding my a6. I sat down & thought about it & i'd have to drop like 3500 before i felt at least somewhat comfortable.....just my $.02

 

I agree, I spent a lot of money on rebuild parts, correct cables, clutch, flywheel, exc... I feel much better about it now, and it should run for a long time. Ryan

 

Any price will be too much for the performance youll get with a b16. J/K...i dont know how much you should spend for a b16...but i spent around $2600 for my b18 swap and they are very similar in price. I got the engine for $700 from a guy in Alabama so if i was to buy it from an online source you caould add another $300-$500 to that. I did do alot of unnecessary stuff just to make sure that it was in good running order before i put i into my car.

spent about 3000 give or take, hasport mounts, greddy header included

 

i bought my motor tranni for a grand. and then it sat forever cause i couldnt save money for mounts and all that. then my buddy with a 90 b16a hatch broke a motor mount and was tired of his car and sold it to me for a grand. everything. i sent the mount back to hasport shipping was like $23 next day. so then i pulled out the b16a and everything else and put the si motor from my crx into the hatch and sold it for $1500 and used all the parts for my swap. so basically i paid about 500 bucks for my complete swap. and had a spare b16a with tranni.
