So honda just got back to me and told me my engine is dead. They said it will cost adout $300 to take it apart to see if it can be fixed? Should I go for the $300 on a maybe then who know how much $ to fix or get a new engine, or get a new car?

Please advice I'm quite stressed and don't know the best way to go...

 

Sounds like swap time to me.

$300 to take it apart to see if it can even be fixed? How much to put it back together and for them tell you it can't be fixed?

What kind of motor/car we talking about here?

 

Grimm......Importautosalvage has a long block for 800.

 

It's a 96 ex it has/had a d16y8 obviously if swapping going for the b16-b18?

Spade I'll look into it groupbuy center has a h22a for 1900 but I'm not sure I wnat that big of an engine?

I'm frappin' mad....

thanks guys

 

come on folks what kinda swap should I get... what should i do...

 

either a b16a1/a2 or b18 either ls or gsr...forget getting your engine repaired or whatnot, just get a simple swap if u really have money, get a b16b or b18c5..goodluck man..get that swap done

 

Jasons TEG has good deals on swaps.

I say get a b18c1 if you can afford it, if not just get a replacement longblock.

 

H23 with a turbo.

 

Swap

Think about what you'll be paying in the long run.
300 initially, $$$ in parts, $$$ in labor and that'll just get you back to
your standard what? 135 hp. plus you'll have to worry if its fixed correctly.

A swap may be slightly more expensive but your also getting a new motor with more power. I think the H22 is the biggest bang for the buck, the best price I've seen for a non-groupbuy is 2300 I think @ http://www.jdmhondaparts.com (motor,ecu,trans,axles). Then again you could get a B16 which is plug and play for your application and they are cheap being like 1200 I think.

 

swap it will most likly be Does someone have a link to jason teg's site. i tried a member search but nothing came up? that and is he on the east coast? I don't wanna go h22 cause I don't wanna lose my PS or AC. Call me crazy but? THe b18c5 is probably a bit to pricey. but what do you all think about the b18a1 or a b20?

 

i can get a b18 (98 gsr) complete swap, tranny,ecu,axels... for $3000 installed what do you guys think?

 

Sounds good dude.

 

Spend the $$$ on a new engine Swap.
