if you got the complete si engine ,It is straight bolt on into ur eg, you do not need to add any extra wires.
Your looking at around $500-$800 to put it in the car, thats backyard price

i got quoted 1.3k last time with labour. but this was for a jdm d15b vtec which would cost a similar price.
also if u want the d16a8 aka zc dohc if your car is 94+ you cant put it in legally. think they stopped using the zc dohc after 93?

got quoted that probably at a workshop.
us backyard guys would put it in for $500 to $800.
straight bolt in,if you can be bothered to do it,since the labour will most likely cost more than the engine

Hahahahaha...focker! I personally would suggest that if you could find some additional funds to go straight into an entry level b conversion like the b16a. But if money is an issue then any of the d series engines suggested above will do.

"get a blue slip for $30 to get the engine number changed then your done man" does that work when putting in an older engine in? thanks all.
