Hello,

This is first post so excuse me if there is anything wrong, and I apologise for the length of the post.
I am after some help if possible.
I currently own a 4th gen civic (91 model, with the twin carbs) and upon doing some research found out that nothing was able to be done to it, i have come to the conclusion that I need to upgrade if I want to do anything to the car engine wise. So I have chosen the 5th gen as one can be bought for about $6500 now. I have done a little more research and found that people have replaced the engine found in the 5th gen with either a b16a engine or the b18c engine, although having ridden in an Integra type-r recently I was wondering how much it would cost to get a front cut of the b18c-r ( the 140kw one found in the type-r) installed into the 5th gen, and possibly where in sydney this could be done as I currently reside in Newcastle. I also know that I woudl have to change the suspension and put a decent intake and exhaust on it too, and then have an engineers report done, so it is road legal.
Have I left out anything?

don't forget the breaks.

should cost somewhere near 8k maybe more maybe less

your problem wont be finding someone to do the work for you it will be finding a half cut.
