Engine Swaps
OKay, hey all you guys Im new. First of all I dont own a Honda yet, or any other car for that matter, but I have money and an Idea in mind. I am giong to be purchasing a 92 CX Hatch very shortly and I have my heart set on cramming a B18 into the thing with new pistons, rods....ect. I want some of you guys to give me some suggestions on what company to go through when purchasing the motor. I obviously want a JDM spec motor and dont want to be raped on the price. Also if any of you have any experience with a company or a person I should talk to let me know, it would be most helpful. Thank you and thats all for now, I'll be a pround Honda owner soon enough, and wont feel like a scrub posting here.

Re: Engine Swaps (Idiotboy)
Why do you want a JDM spec motor oubviously?
Read this and then read this again and then think about what you REALLY want and what you REALLY want to spend and what you're willing to do to get the motor.

Honestly I'd NEVER buy a motor without setting eyes on it (aka not having it shipped to me). I've heard too many horror stories of having broke parts, cut sensors, and the likes.
