im going to change my 93 coupe ex stock engine (140k miles) to something fresh and faster, any suggestions?(3k and below-all i got) also since ive never done a swap before is there anywhere u guys know of in tennessee that is safe to get it done?

 

Well you could...

1- Rebuild it to factory spec. and Turbo it
2- Rebuild it with a better bottom end and Turbo it
3- Swap out for a B16A
4- Swap out for a B18B/B20B

3 & 4 won't leave you much money to mess with afterwards though if you wanna run FI, those are the ones I'd go for. Otherwise I'd have to stick to a rebuilt version of my D16 and boost it

 

ok im prolly gonna swap in a b16a, if im correct it has 168 hp? also where can i get this done at, i know i cant do it myself, and i want a trust worthy place, somewhere in tennessee if possable

 

B16a is 160H. 170 if they are from the SiR (B16A2) Usually the salvage yards get the B16's from older japanese CRX and civics. You can get complete swap for around 1200.

 

Can i ask!
Does ITR DC2 and B16B civic R camshaft or cyclinder heads goes on B16A with no problem??

 

woly ****! i was thinking it would cost around 1700, but i, myself, cannot do the swap, and im sure this is the way i want to go...do u know a trusty place i could get it done at, also is there any other parts ill need for it?

 

5-Save up some more money because..........

 

....a hydro b16a2 is about $2600 not $1200. With labor and as much stuff comes missing off of most of the engines I get, it's going to be more like $3800 to $4200.

I was refering to the older B16A. I got mine for 750 for engine only. But they do average around 1200. B16A2 can be had for about 2300 if you look hard enough. And I did the labor myself... final cost was under 2K (HASport 450)

i got my complete swap for 3000.
the motor is from a 2000 civic si with 20,000 miles on it.
the motor comes with 2 years parts and 2 years labor.

 

and where may i ask, did you get your engine? when i do my swap i want a usdm swap, so i dont have to do the hydro/cable conversion, etc etc.....

 

i'm in LA california.. i got mine from some guy that got in a total loss rear end collision. but i can get more...

 

ya the full change should run 3kish
for just the straight parth (engine tranny and ecu) dont pay more than 2700 if you get the b16a2 (the SiRII) . the most important thing you can do is SHOP AROUND. http://www.hasport.com/engine_sources.htm
those are some of the best prices around.

 

Yep. What FUC said.

1st gen B16's with cable tranny's are like $1200. But Hydros are around $2500.

Nrg-Racing.com can get you the SIR2's for $2400 pickup, $2600 shipped in the continental US.
