JDM B16A2 (brand new)

What would you guys reckon the cost of bringing them over here?..

Anyway, would like some input for the benefit of others...

Cheers

Looks alright, Still a while to go, im sure they will fetch much more.

I dont know about postage, I sent a radiator to NZ once, and the postage was 90$.

I thought this was quite high, maybe speak to the person, and ask to get a quote?

You’re going to need a b-series gearbox/engine manifold to go with those engines. Plus there’s tax to think about. In the end it’s probably still going to be cheaper to buy a front cut here rather than trying to get one of these engines. Plus when you go to do the swap you know you’re not missing anything when you have a front cut.

Cost factors
Shipping
Duty (5%)
GST (10% calculated on the price plus duty)

i got quoted $6000 for a b16a half cut and to put it in the charge is an extra $2500

is this ok price or am i getting ripped??? approximately how much should it be???

[Chi]

not worth it.

6k for b16a halfcut. lol. thats worst then takin candy from a little kiD!

[tRipitaka]

8500 for a b16 conversion ?
lol. what a joke.

[spothe]

hahahah ok its a rip

so around what price am i looking around so that i dont get ripped???

also, if i want to do a b16a conversion, is it possible i only change the engine (connected with a manual gearbox since my gearbox is auto right now) and not have the whole halfcut? not too much money on me

[ProECU]

those engines are rebuilds....

not brand new

and the red rocker cover is not the genuine red honda cover...
