hey guys... to start off with i did search.. and i think i ve seen the info somewhere... but just cant find it....
i ve been thinking alot latelly abt doin a conversion
either b16a/b or a b18c7 but i just need some more info on $$$$$$ and wat exactly i need? will i been needing the hole half cut?
and i m not aiming for straight line performance... more like for circuit .. ie. a more balanced car.... i just want more power then wat i have now...
thx guys

[sivic]

go a B18C7 swap. the extra torque and power will come in handy round the circuit.
definately get a half cut as it'll save a lot of greif trying to track down parts.
as for $$. you can get 96 spec cuts for ~$4-5k if you are prepared to do a little searching. then whatever for labour. around the $1-1.5k ballpark i guess

if the price is rite and stuff..pretty much within a few weeks

[bubblecivic]

|N|: 7k installed is what I was quoted at GPC. I'm not 100% sure but lets just put it at $7500 to be safe.

That included everything you would need - brakes, engineers certificate, exhaust, all fluids etc! It's basically drive in and drive away with 10,000/6 months warranty.

[s3ph]

bubblecivic: b16 or b18? oz or jdm?

[bubblecivic]

Hi S3ph, it was for the B18.

The full package for the B16 was around $5800 as far as I can remember.

I remembered the B16A was JDM but I'm not exactly sure on the B18.

[z3lda]

all your need is engine/box/loom/ecu. mounts. shift linkage and drive shafts.

remember to do a full service on the engine while its out of the car. makes it a whole lot easier

[bubblecivic]

Yeap I'm pretty sure. This was around say... April/May? and Yes, quoted by the boss himself.

it depends on the availability of the engine he has

[|N|]

[tRipitaka]

or even the b18c2 will suffice in this case :)

[z3lda]

h22a's are cheaper engines

[nhat_18]

Darren with the jdm h22 accord got his done at GPC for $4k... and yes... it was ages ago.

Charlie charged me $5k for the same package 6months ago and its still not fulli completed yet. He knows his shit but he takes his sweetass time.

just so u know its pretty hard to source b16a/b18c motor these days..
i've help my mate source b16a.. took 3 months!
helping another mate.. its been 2 months!
definately get a front cut!.. sometimes u get extras (brakes, suspension, cluster, short shifter, panels) most places wont give u these but..

dropping the motor in is easy.. i aint no mechanic and i helped with 2 swaps.. its suprisingly easy!!

ps. ur sticker should be here soon!

[Chi]

i agree he takes his time:thumbsup:
