ok suggestions......, if there was no insurance, than the next best thing would be a engine conversion, But of the same one, im guessing its a F22a motor? next thing is, how deep was the car submerge? if it was waist deep, odds are the ecu is fried... if u source a half cut of the same car, half the price of what that mech quoted, as its all labour an no needing for sourcing parts, than next thing is to register the motor to the chassis, as its a replacement motor, no need to do a roady worth cert, but if the vehicle was deemed as a repairable write off, than thats a different story

hope this is some useful info

its an old accord, max id pay for a low km engine would be $600, so what hes gonna charge u 4.4k to install? yeah right.........

i would just DIY it with a mechanically minded friend and i would pay him abit aswell.

5k sounds good if its a brand spanking new engine from honda, but putting a brand new engine in it would be a waste....

Guys, invisible lake means a huge deep puddle created by the rain. He does not literally mean an actual lake.

I dont see why. The car has a nicer body than most of the cars I see on the road today. I'd much rather spend my five thousand on fixing this car, not buying another

When your dog catches a cold and snots all over you, do you chuck him out and buy a new one? I dont think so

i dont think it was that deep. no water got into the cabin, but the front of the car was submerged to the top of the bumper bar. i read somewhere that the accord's ecu is located near the passengers seat, if that is true then it should be ok

Quoted for truth. It was dark and I didnt see the sheet of water turning on to the Eastlink freeway.

I assumed that an internet forum about cars would have been full of such people?

not quite...
most people on here go to track days and drag strips.

but if your really hung up on your car do a h22a or h2b conversion for around $5k.
but dont turbo an old engine...its like jumping on a granny and telling her to run...she is just gonna crumple under you lols.
now if you are gonna get an old engine to turbo may i suggest an engine rebuild then turbo it...
for 6k you can get a h2b conversion, a member is selling one here and making alot of power..heres the link:

I'm sure it's straight and clean, and you love your car, but listen to him. Putting a 5k engine into that car is a waste of money; the chassis simply isn't good enough to justify it. But if

When you accidentally drown your dog in a puddle, do you give it a lung transplant? No, you put it to sleep.

Anyway, the more people tell you not to do it, the more you're going to want to do it. That's how teenagers work. But you're wasting your money if you spend more than 1k fixing that car...
