Fantastic thread!

So just curious...I have a 94 EG5 Civic Sedan (EH9 chassis). It's got the stock D16Y1 96KW SOHC VTEC engine in it, and I'm dreaming of dropping in a H22A 200-220HP engine...so I would need:

*H22A engine
*New brakes? (currently got 4 wheel disc brakes, dunno specs)
*New ECU?
*New gearbox?
*New exhaust?

Including labour, I'm guessing this would cost something like $3,500-5,000?

it's good for a new driver like me
but as above said, some minor need to be fixed

Hey all,

After some advice on upgrading from a twin carb engined EG4 to a EFI engine as one has come up at a pretty good price.

Granted I'm not expecting a huge leap in performance its just the current engine is getting on a bit and is going to need a fair bit of work over the next year as its up to 230000k's and starting to show.

I am toying with this idea at present however am a bit of a novice so just trying to work out what I am going to be looking at before I commit to it.

I guess what I'm trying to determine is what else am I going to need to do this, as its just the bare engine I would be buying.

I'd be swapping from the D15B4(twincarb) to the D16Y4 if that helps at all?

Any advice/assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated

Noob question, how much typically for AUDM B18CR conversion drive in drive out?

JDM B18CR is roughly around the $8k mark. Is AUDM $6k or still closer to the $7k?

Has any one done a K20 conversion or have break down list of whats need?

intake/headers/exhaust = 1500
ECU/Hondata = 1500
misc bits and pieces i cant think of = 200
rad/hoses/fan = 300 - 1k
If your EG isnt EFi = 600
brakes/suspension upgraded = 1-3k
engineers cert/registration/RWC etc = 2k

Adds up real quick. They are some quick estimates for you.. I'm sure theres things i missed.

You could save money buying used parts etc.. But overall, the swap ends up expensive in the end. You will no doubt find things that need replacing along the way aswell.. I just spend close to $100 on 2 new OEM ball joints that needed replacing... All these things add up...
