While i may agree with your advice to sell the car as it will probably work out better, i stand by my comments.Quote:

I've done enough engine swaps/conversions to know what is possible and what isn't (within reason).
I didn't mention costs as it was already mentioned that it would be pricey..
My point was that it IS possible to do in a weekend... with parts sorted
Too much BS and bad advice on this forum.... doesn't mean i hate it, but it does leave a bad taste in your mouth when you come here for technical advice.
hey tiksie, let 4000gt do the conversion, he could do it in a weekend. :D
not having a go at u buddy but people add their personal opinions jus so the other person can weigh their decision and decide.Quote:

isnt a weekend is only like 2 days? sat-sun?

Mounts will line up, so that isn't an issue.... electrical knowledge is also required along with a multimeter. A welder and an angle grinder with different types of discs will also make those unseen issues go away real quick. Anyone with a decent shed and some diy skills will most likely have these tools.
Done plenty of carby to efi conversions, albeit on non honda's... and i have to say, it isn't difficult at all.
start on a friday arvo and it can all be done by sunday night. Will take an hour or so to remove old engine, and not much more to put new one in.. all on the friday night. Saturday can be used to sort out the fuel and electricals... seriously, list out all the tasks and parts, and it's a walk in the park.
Some of you guys should really get your hands dirty.... i'll leave it at that.
im agreeing with 4000gt here im swapping my d15b4 for a jdm b16a atm majority was done on the weekend, just waiting for a few parts.

u are talking about diy you mite be able to do it but he cant
he is getting a mechanic to do it
u think the mechanic would do your dodgy ways of doing a conversion as mentioned above ?
he needs his cars as mention
we are trying to say why would u go to the trouble of of doing such a tedious conversion ?
sure u could do it but in reality when u weigh up the good with the bad with this conversion .....
u would really have to be stupid to do it as it is a waste of time and money
u havent done a conversion with a eg carby but you seem to be a expert
why dont u make this your 1st one so u can do it over the weekend
dont worry about getting parts you seem to be pretty handy
so u could do a fuel injected system for him and your own wiring ...
have fun
did he say weekend? i reject my statement lol 2 days is 48 hours . hmmmmm lets say bare motor, no aircon or powersteering. could be possible if u know wat ur doing. but thats besides the point. anyones whos gotten their hands dirty long enough is that it doesnt always go to planQuote:

My whole argument here is that it is possible. Wiring diagrams and pinouts are available, so it isn't all that hard. Parts are actually not all that hard to get either as that particular engine is very common at the wreckers. But that isn't even the point..... the point was that if all parts were gathered, and there was only labour, it could be done in a weekend.... full stop.Quote:

How would you even know whether i know about breezes or not? I've done enough research seeing as a friend asked about converting his one.... including having a hand in an actual conversion....
I give up... seems like no one reads the posts before getting their panties in a bunch.... all goes to support my initial comment.
Wow calm down guys! All I wanted was opinions on pricing and what not, and got a few people going down eachothers throats!
I have done engine swaps before from carby to EFi (12A to 13B Turbo etc) but have only had that experience with rotaries (mazda's to be precise).
I just wanted some first hand opinions thats all.
Cheers fellas
