DIY? .... just a suggestion. you can use the 1500 for installation to buy a damn turbo or something.

oh indeed but when your mech goes b16a2 and gives you a motor/tranny set for CHEAP and installs for under $1k....LOL



anyway you cut it though, ive NEVER seen $1500 for labor (unless you get a new tbelt, head gasket, water pump) and even then its not that much.

Edit: yeah the only place ive been i asked the dude what his prices were and he said to swap a b16 into a crx it was 3200.... and i can get a b16 off hmotorsonline for $1700 .... so thats 1500 for installation

SO WRONG. you forgot about ALOT

There is a $300 mount kit, $100 shift linkage , $100 in axles cause HMOTORSONLINE.COM only comes with axles if you order the ENTIRE SWAP, most people dont.

Usually a VTEC motor we charge $700 to RR, thats pull your motor out and install the b16. that assumes your MPFI already.

We cahrge $35 shop supply fee (oil, coolant)


In short, to the OP, Mainstream Performance does motor swaps, that is the shop i work for. We are located about 40 min from Gwinette.

If you want to stay on the Northside, check out IMPORT SOURCE PERFORMANCE in Winder, Balanced Performance , or H+M Motorsports
