Ok here it is.. A friend of mine wants to know if i want to buy his b16 motor from him for 800 bucks. He has a GSR tranny but he's says he's keeping that. Now he said thats the price for me, but for anyone else it would be more.. Now i want to know.. Is that the best deal i'm gonna find and if so how much am i lookin at for the install. He has the engine in his garage and he has to move so he can't take it with him. He heard me talkin about saving for a b18. so he said i should try this engine for awhile........oh yea i have a 00 EX.. what do think????

 

Your still going to need a b-series tranny.

He already said he has a GSR tranny.

Anyway, 1st gen B16? 2nd gen? Head, block, or long block. How many miles. Have you checked it out? I would offer 600 and rebuild the b*tch...

 

yes it is a good deal. but what u need to do is install the motor yourself. it isnt that hard. it will bolt right up to your car, all you need to do is get a repair manual to tell you what certain wires are. dont waste your money having some1 do the swap for you, do it yourself and you will be much happier and then you will gain knowledge that will be with you for your life.

 

it depends on what comes with it, if its everything minus the gsr trans its not that bad of a deal, id offer him 600 and tell him to take it or leave it

 

Yeah offer 600, you be spending another 600 on a tranny.

 

Are you putting it in yourself....if so i would highly recommend it. You are going to need a tranny though and that is going to run you close if not more than what you might pay for the motor. Good luck though.

 

He said that his friend has a gsr tranny but wants to keep it.

we need more info...... what exactly are you getting???

if your ex is stock, which i assume it is, you'll need axles, int. shaft, mounts, ecu.... find out exactly what you're getting and answer the above questions and people will be able to give you better suggestions.

Ok.. sorry for leaving out certain info... but what is say's is basically what it is.. Jus u a b16 no tranny.. no ecu.. no axle's nothing.. jus the engine..thats why i asked if it was worth the money or shoud i jus saving for the b18.. thanks for any and all the suggestions..

 

save up and get a complete change over from here

$800 for that seems a bit high seeing as though it may cost you more than that to get the rest of the parts

did you put the response to my question in your signature?

 

After all ur suggestions i told my friend i would give him 600$ if not i would continue to save for my b18.. so after some tought he said he would throw in the GSR tranny and a Si cluster for 1300... so now the deal is lookin some what better... still not sure....I have to think about it... I have some indiglo gauges for the si cluster but i don't have the electric box that makes it glow.. any ideas where i can find it... some one gave it to me.....I kno I kno it sounds cheesey but hey it was free why not.. thanks alots for all the help...

 

Is this a complete swap or just an engine and tranny? If it is a complete swap, then that is a good deal. If it is just an engine and tranny, I don't know that I would bother with it.
