I'm working on getting my engine swap ready. I plan on putting in a JDM B18C but i need to sell my D series stuff. I don't know if i should break down the engine or sell it as a whole. The engine has 110xxx miles on it. I have a aem short ram intake, dc 4-1 ceramic header, the engine has a new timing belt, waterpump, drive belts, accel spark plug wires, valveadjustment, and a new dist cap/rotor. I hope to get 900 give or take. Can anyone help me out? Also how would you ship an engine?

 

what shape is your trans in?

 

As far as i know every thing runs well. The trany is good no grinds.

 

You ship those things freight and packed/strapped on a crate that you find behind a local supermarket

900 seems a little high to me. Personally I wouldn't buy at any higher than 750.

 

I would sell it for 750 with out the dc header

 

and it just cost me 300 to do the timing belt and water pump job

 

id say 750 is about all you will get even with the header on this site.

try to sell it local if you can. find some poor soul with a 92-95 cx or vx with stock motor and sell it to them.

 

you said as far as you know the engine runs
what does that mean?

 

Well i mean i've done all of the maintenance on the car. And there are no cels.

 

does this include ecu

 

yeah everything left over after my swap

 

Break down this is how they typically sell.

Engine 300
Tranny 200
ECU 50-75

Seriously, thats how much I have helped guys get their engines/trannies and ECUs for.

Then $150-200 for the header and $100 for the intake.

150-200 for the header yes.

about 75 for the intake. Short rams can be bought new for 85shipped.

 

ebay intakes are about 35 shipped not to many people will pay more than 50 for an intake these days.

OT
Ebay intakes suck.

If your intake doesn't come with the ability to mount to something and it just bounces around, then it is just a cheap as copy that doesn't put down the power it could if you spent just a little more.
The most important things that effect the engine are the intake and exhaust.

Example:
HT member has a Cam and intake but no exhaust = 116whp TUNED
HT member has Intake header and exhaust = 120whp UNTUNED.

Follow the basic steps and do it right....if it takes you one more month of saving, do it right.
