B16a2 swap under $3000???
 

anyone knows of any mechanic shops that can do a complete swap of the B16a2 on my 97 ek hatch for less than $3000 with labour included..??

Or has anyone done a swap before and it would cost them less than $3000 with labour and tax included..??

i believe i'll be closer to the $3400 range.

it's funny that you bring that up......because today i called around 4 different places and they all said average of 3700-4000

i asked for a B16a2 into a 95 civic si

Well Im pulling my motor and paying someone to come and wire it all up and install. We haven't set a defenitive price but we have a general figure. I bought some Peice's before hand
B16A first gen..$800
B16 tranny......$400
Driveshaft's......$276
mounts.............$175

Now the guy doing the install is hooking up the Intermediate shaft, the computer, Clutch, Starter, JDM Flywheel and header and other miscealaneous bull**** i might have forgotten. He say's he's done this a few time's for buddie's and was a mechanic so we can do it all in one day(after the motor is pulled).
He say's it will be around $1600 for parts plus install.Not the Final figure but somewhere around there. So it can be done for a bit under $3500 but not by much. And you'll have to shop around. Plus your going to want better brake's and rubber as well. Factor that in if you dont' have both already.

he is probabley looking at getting a second gen 92+ b16 with a hydro tranny which costs quite a bit more than a first gen b16

First gen. complete $1500ish

second gen. complete $2500ish

plus install $600ish

bluesicoupe, thats about $3100, it can be done if you shop around and grab a deal

I have a JDM b16A2 2nd gen that I will install into your EK for 3k.

Check your PM.

thats a good price, plus I hear nothing but good things about Scott and his work on Honda's

^^ you for real

No other shop can touch that price... usually the motor comptete tranny ect goes for that price without install....



:kickass:

I think your thinking about a different scott (scott newman)

you can get a b16a2 for under 2G's full swap...grab a couple of buddies and install it yourself

probably not mark. Scott does alot of work for guys around TCC, great guy that does nice work :thumbup: 3000 for the motor and swap done is a killer price, id pick that up

yeah i know newmann does good work he lowered mine and my brothers civics, I was referring to Scott-93HBSi username, its not scott newmann ...... I dont know if i cleared that up or just made things more confusing.

B16a2 for 2G's how about the tranny?

yeah, i agree that is a good price...i have already contacted scott and ready to get the swap done when he has time....

both scotts do awesome work, gonna be picking up a bunch of stuff for my B18 swap from scott and might be getting scott newman to remove and install the B18.

too many people named scott :p

$3000 installed is a sick price
im paying a bit more for mine

I payed $3200 Installed in a EK but for me I had a lot of extra stuff I didn't originally think of that I ended up paying extra for. Eg. Wiring Harness Converter, Relocate the Cat, Intake (Since my never came with an airbox)

Just to clarify on this old post...

Scott-93HBSi is one of the original members of ClubSi and he has been doing swaps longer then some of you have been driving. He really knows his stuff and I have NEVER heard anything bad about him or his work. He did my timing belt/water pump for a sweet price. He has done a few things for people on TCC and all of them have been happy.

Scott Newman has been on TCC for some time and we all know who he is.

I would recommend and trust both of them.
