I have a 99 civic si , I just love the 96-00 body style ESP the 99-00 front end and I am most fond of the hatchbacks but when I found the blue si i have now in such great condition I coukd not let it pass by.
Anyways I am a consultant and this is my daily driver, I haven't done any mods to the car yet besides headlights and upgraded the sound system. I spend a good bit of time driving from client to client.
Anyways I had originally planned on going with the itr swap, to kinda stay pure to the model with the b18c5 with LSD, but since I have last researched this topic the price of a k series swap has dropped considerably since I was planning a swap in a hatch I had until a drunk driver hit me head on at a traffic light totaling it out.
Anyways I was looking for opinions on
Midnight Atlanta or mahdavi motorsports.
I'm really looking for a place I can pull in and get the engine and them install it at the same shop.
I've had friends order swaps then go to get it installed and run into problems and each shop blamed the other.
Also what kind of price would u guys say is fair for each swap
The b18 and the k,
I know the k is going to be more.
I just spend so much time in this car I want it just how I like it,
I will be doing other upgrades like seating etc,
But am going with engine and suspension now.
I am not looking to put it in a magazine or drop a fortune on it but I want a nice swap that isn't real high miles and a hack job put in.
I was going b swap before bc it was about half or may be less than half of the k, but now its been done lots more and I'm thinking go with the k to get the newer engine .
I am not looking for the k24, but a k20a2 vtec engine.
So I'm looking for opinions on shops and expected price for the swaps installed or for just a good swap if u have that info,
Thx again
I'm new to this area and had heard the 2 shops I mentioned were the best or !2 of the best around
