but HPC has j32a2 motors for around 500-700 bucks.

tranny anywhere from 1200-1800;

then the mounts and axles run about 800-1000 for all of it from hasport

then the hybrid racing shift box is 400

then idk where the hell to find a swap header for that shit

ecu misc parts etc etc ... wiring harness from chase would be 1700 ish lol

of course, that's the way i'd do it -- there are cheaper ways to go.

would not use hpc.. imo they suck. i called and asked them if they had a d15b and the guy told me they did so i told him i would pick it up the next day. the next morning i call to make sure they have it and the guy assures me they do. i then drive an hour and 1/2. not only did they not have a d15b all they had was the oh so awesome d15z so with no choice but to buy because i had school in the fall, so i did i put all new parts on the motor, all seals new water and oil pump all gaskets 450 worth of parts. put it in and it had no comp, call um up and the guy tells me its impossible to have no comp on all 4 cylinders, i tell the guy im fucking lookin at the comp test then the mother fucker gets rude, so i give the mother fucker a piece of my mind then the guy has the balls to tell me im being unprofessional, then hes says hang on i look up the motor to see how long they had it and where in came from ect... then hes drops the bomb, the mother fuckers tell me the motor has been on the shelf for 9 years open and all, so the i asked the mother fucker who was unprofessional now... any who i all most dint get my money back. then to top it off when i go to take the motor back and meet this jackass i had speaked to on the phone he wants to give me this big speech about how i went about it the wrong way. so use them dont use them just seems like there just tryin make a quick buck witch is fine when you sell quality parts, but when a motor has sat on a shelf for 9 years, you would think they would tell you that shit, oh and in case your wondering why would it matter if it sat on a shelf for 9 years, after so long a motor not covered with no intake mani or exhaust mani moisture will get in the cylinder walls and rust the rings. glad i could finally put that out for the world. so imo fuck hpc

That would make me want to be violent and not much makes me that mad. They sound very unprofessional, and I don't think I would ever go them for anything. I am gonna remember that business name.

THIS IS TOXXXIC. FORGOT TO LOG IN TO MY NAME.

no offense but if you wanted to buy a JDM D15B, why wouldn't you have called Best Japanese? Honda Parts Connection is a SALVAGE YARD that sells USED parts from WRECKED cars. ie - used. you have NO IDEA what the owner put that car through, and what the fuck is a d15z anyway? I've dealt with HPC many times, and have not had any problems.

If I would have known of best Japanese I would have used them but I never heard of them before now. It doesn't matter where I got the motor you would think a business wouldn't sell a motor that set on a shelf for 9 years regardless of who its from. For your info a D15Z1 is out of the Economy Vtec hatch, and as far as useing someone else your the person that just said they have a motor for so much when you just tried to down me on buying a motor from them when it was out of a wrecked car... etc... when they should check the motors more thoroughly before they try selling them. Just saying...ain't trying to start no shit with you.

[Red_EJ1]

[toxxxic]

Sure. But not one that was wrecked back in 1994.

[JuStCrUzIn]

would not use hpc.. imo they suck. fuck hpc

i went to hpc, and nad. long story short i went to hpc to get the motor cus they beat nad's price. the guy said they had the motor pulled. i waited for three hours when they finally brought the motor (after i saw a truck come through the back gate with a honda single cam in it) and as im looking at it there was a nad warranty stamp on the head... almost forgot i was trying to get a d16z6 and the motor from nad was a d15b. no complaints on that....

anyways i like the whip and ide go with the j swap.
