anyone know how much it cost to replace a DC2R engine?
eg..labour and the cost of the parts.
as in a entire new one from honda ? Or reuild one etc ?
How about you help this vauge thread with info...IE what is the damage ? k's ? etc
2nd hand engine ....
just in case my engine blows up...needed replacement..
pick up a B18C7 for around $6-7gs i would think
not sure on labour costs thou
i would budget $10000, for hidden nasties
wow.......that's pretty expensive....
10,000
if its just the engine you could probably find it cheaper
but they are a very popular engine to buy from a wrecker
as if...Quote:

Going by the other thread & this one, it sounds like yours has blown up. :eek:Quote:

$1500-$2000 for Rob at Hanny's to rebuild with new seals and rings as long as no parts are broken. Good as new:D
Show me where the $4g B18c7 is. I'd love one....Quote:

if the h22a halfcuts are going for around 3k why wouldnt u be able to find a b18c for 5-6k? we're not talking about a k20a here, b18c7 is on a 14g car, do u realy think they'd sell a cut up engine bay off a smashed car for more than 6g?...
haha, jdm b18c vtir half cuts are about 4k
u can get a normal audm spec b18c7 for about 5
labour to install the whole new engine would varie from 2500 - 4000
if its a type R that you have i suggest you just rebuilt it from the ground up
rather changing a whole new motor, in the end its just not worth it mate.
The rebuild should cost about the same as a cheap swap. Somewhere about $3,300AUD. And that's if there isn't a lot to replace. New pistons and rods will add to that, same with head parts like springs and retainers or valves.
[QUOTE=mj3610]whats a short block?
Shortblock=complete engine block minus cylinder head.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
I did a fair bit of searching for an b18c7 a few months ago.
These were my findings:
Short Block: $700-3000 mainly dependant on condition, whether it had
damaged pistons, missing bits etc..
Engine only i.e. long block: 4000-5500
Complete Engine, intake manifold, ecu: $4500-6500
Engine + lsd gearbox: 6500+
Half Cut: $6500-$7500+
Mechanic costs varied a fair bit according to what needs to be done. A straight swap over would be the cheapest. As others have suggested, its probably cheaper to rebuild rather than replace.
Hope this helps
