on a more serious note ah789blahblah, it depends on which B18C variant ur after... ITRc7, VtiRc2? ALso are u asking for the pricing for the engine itself, a frontcut (containing a whole bunch of other shit) or the whole engine/parts installed? I believe to get a b18c2 installed with labour will cost u at LEAST 7k.... or so the story on "teh grapevine" goes.....
wait till someone more experienced/knowledgable stumbles across ur thread...they'll be able to provide more info and quit bein dickheads and ****in with ya... :)

Hahahaha....Jon...that's pretty expensive labour cost your quoting there!!

if your after the b18c2 from a vtir teg..you may have problems sourcing them. I believe the price range just for the engine would be starting at around the 2.5K mark and higher....

if your after the ITR engine....then they usually start at about 4K...upwards...Some front cuts go for up to 9K....

my cousin imports engines and states that the engines/front cuts are pretty expensive to buy from japan...so often not worthwhile for car places to actually bring them in.

Oh, and you'll be paying more if you want the jap spec ITR engine.

labour will just depend on what car its going into...etc and whether you can find anyone you know to do it for you...I'm lucky in that regard..plenty of cousins ;)

ah789454 - i'll move this to Integra for you.

To some of the others, please keep this on topic and keep the whoring down.

my previous vtir (b18c2) suffered oil surge whilst i was caning it through the hills.. killed the crank and ended up having to replace the whole engine..

ended up getting a replacement b18c2 for cheap for roughly $1,200 so was happy with that.. main problem of finding a b18c (even more so with the type-r b18c) is just stock and the amount available whcih is very scarce.. just ring around.

yeah, stop this forum from turning into the full piece of post-whoring crap it is starting to become...

ah789454 - alternatively you could build a B20VTEC for around 4 grand...

If you don't know, then don't reply.

When I was looking around for a B18 front cut the vti-r front cut was going from around 2-2.5K depending on the condition. The ITR front cut on the other hand was in excess of 5K.

Thats a rough idea for you. To get more accurate prices I suggest you call up places like SSS automotive and Honbits and speak to them. Depending on the condition of the front cut you might be able to bargain it down. See the Marketplace sticky for some other places that you might be able to source parts from.
