D16Y1 into EG Hatch Breeze - How much ?

[tiksie]

Just wondering how much a D16Y1 would set me back dropped into a EG Hatch Breeze, I understand that it's a tad more money going to EFi from Carby, but what would a rough estimate in price be ? I've seen D16Y1 motors go for as cheap as $300 in good condition!

Cheers

VTi's cost an arm and a leg.

I just sold my VTi lol, now I got the breeze..It's a good healty motor in it and what not, but it's just WAY too slow for my liking..Not for being a boyracer but general driving.

I'm sure I can score a healty D16Y1 installed for <$1500

Just wanting other peoples advice first.

And I can't afford to sell this car and look for another car..I don't have the time.

I've heard conversions take a weekend ? Lol, I'd rather that then wait to sell my car, then wait for a car to pop up and be carless in that time frame.

And no, I am not planning on doing it myself, just a general question as I have seen people offer motors and offer labour for $500> into EFi's and $800 into Carbys.

Cheers

EDIT: I have seen those offers on OzHonda ofcourse.

wreckers for all parts, and mechanic next stop. the thing is how long does it take at the mechanic.

u need fuel tank/pump, fuel lines, complete wiring loom,
u will need to get it engineer with rear disc etc etc
u must be very patient and have plenty of money to spend
not to mention taking the dash off to fit loom too thats the fun part
and not to mention trying to get it to work
plus what u think a mechanic is going to charge u to do this ?

[hisoka]

as lan said you get many extras on top. you get sway bars. electric windows, electric sunroof . tacho ? lol. and they go for about 5 grand if u look hard enough. even for a lightly modified one.

breeze u need fuel tank aswell. and u need to get rear disc brakes. vti already got it.
