considering this project..?

[rnbguy]

i might get my brothers 92 civic GL hatch off him for $2500...

-paint it black (not sure of cost, if anyone could give a rough idea)
-buy b16a engine (not sure of cost but ive heard around 1200-1500 if anyone can confirm)
-put integra interior in it (can anyone confirm costs)

what you guys think?

I didnt like vtec but my mate just took me for a spin in his ... and man im in love now...

keep in mind you'll need to budget extra for a fuel tank and fuel lines when doing a conversion an a carby model.

I actually had a look at a hatch as well yesterday, so i might have to ask you how yours is progressing :p

As for paint, i got quoted 1500 to do a whole car + my paint (about 600)
I have no idea about interior parts, i saw a dash for $50, seats would be maybe 150 for front....

PM the POV boys (barefoot) and ask one of them, they do heaps of conversions in civics

[[ricer]]

a b16a engine by itself would probably be around the $1500 mark
but then u need gear box, drive shafts, linkages, wiring harness, ecu
i'd say $2500 or about $3000-3500 for a half cut

a mate of mine could do all those parts together for 1500 , but damn i didnt think of fuel lines and fuel tank... i wonder how much the tank costs, prolly not much though

[rnbguy]

btw his bringing engine parts in from QLD... so may be cheaper for u up there

[SiR Feoc]

look in market place/parts for sale section there are a couple of b16a engines up for sale

i have one. $1000 engine alone.:thumbsup:
pm me:thumbsup:

[rnbguy]

all up quote would be good... :)

keep in mind you can not put an older engine in a younger chassis, newer engine in an older chassis is fine. Also with B16As there are 2 types, older cable clutch and newer hydraulic clutch, so see what kind you are running in your eg, don't know if you can convert your clutch from one to another but it will save you money if you don't
Older civics (91,92) are cable and newer (94,95) are hydraulic, someone back me up on this

all EG's are hydraulic.
the EF's/ED's are the cable clutch cars..

:thumbsup: thanx trip

hows ur project goin so far?

Just make sure you'll get everything for the b16a conversion... You don't want to waste time looking for other parts. In the end you'll end up spending more money looking for parts then buying a half-cut which has everything you need and anything you don't need you can sell off..
