Place you bought your motor from, and how you like them. - Honda-Acura.net

**Bumnah** · 05-01-03, 09:31 AM

I got my motor from www.sohfast.com but in reality it was shipped from Import Auto Salvage in NC.

Good experience kinda expensive but great swap. Doesn't burn oil, my third gear grinds at redline.

Other than that great.

List the place you bought your motor from and how you like 'em.

doctorsohc · 05-07-03, 12:17 PM

bought a obd1 GSR swap from ARD - good service and very clean, a little pricy, but you get what you pay for most of the time.

hybridhondahatch · 05-07-03, 11:21 PM

www.hybridynamics.com , bought my car w/ the swap from the owner eric (turbo type R under hybrids cars). did most of the mods myself though

reverse · 05-15-03, 04:16 PM

Steve @ hondamotorsonline - now known as hmotorsonline.com

bought my 98+ Spec R tranny from him as well and a slew of other shit.

He was real good to me, it's been a while since I've talked to him so I dont know how things have been since.

Burke · 05-21-03, 01:39 PM

just got my 94 b18b from Tony Napoli at American Speed Center In York, PA for 1200. Awesome guy and great price. He mostly deals with gsr's though, but can get pretty much whatever you want. If anyone is interested, drop me an email and I'll get you his email. Again, real cool guy and very professional.

Anyone ever dealt with Showdown Motorsports in Toledo, OH? http://www.showdownmotorsports.com/

I am considering doing a motor-swap and I am far from mechanically inclined. (I bleed changing my spark plugs). I want to find a place that can do good work dropping a B18C5 in my 99 EX.

Mid-West Recommendations?

Jim

**Bumnah** · 06-19-03, 07:48 PM

do the swap yourself
you'll learn quickly and it's soooo easy, and there is plenty of tech on the web. trust me on this.

txhatch · 07-07-03, 06:25 PM

Hmotorsonline. Quick and easy, pretty good prices and fast shipping.

Only negative is the charge for paying with a credit card.

egzivic · 07-09-03, 11:35 AM

Speedmachineracing.com talk to Matt. Good prices and service. Hooked up with a JDM B18C Type R. Came complete with mounts linkage ECU $4500. Install was $600 + some parts. Runs like a freed mental patient with no codes.

BabyGirl ITR · 07-23-03, 07:20 PM

I bought my JDM B18C Type R from www.inlinefour.com. It runs great. Complete drop in for $5000. (They have now changed the price to $5900.)

KriS1 · 08-13-03, 01:12 PM

2001 US B18C5 from import auto salvage

cell7dotORG · 08-14-03, 02:11 PM

I got my ZC w/ tranny from nippon-motors.com, but I was unhappy with how long it took to ship, I am about to order myself a JDM d15b vtec from alljapaneseengines.com for really cheap, I'll let you all know how I like the process with them. Their rep was hella cool, he called me back promptly and gave me the info I was looking for (such as if it was the OBD1 vtec or OBD2 3-stage vtec).

LSVTECKING · 09-15-03, 10:18 AM

I got all my stuff from the junk yard...except for all the internals that I got from all over the face of the earth. And for the B16 head, I got that from flash options.

BustedLX · 09-15-03, 11:02 AM

Pro-Link Japan in Hallendale FL. They fly to Japan every three months or so and hand pick their engines out of running cars. If they don't like the way it sounds or drives they don't pull it.

Great price to, Not the cheapest but you don't have to worry about ripping the engine back out to warranty it.

They are a complete importer bringing in engines for Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan as well as other parts.

Reasonable prices and reasonable shipping if you aren't local.

The number is 954-894-0235 ask for Bryan. Tell him Jose with the H22A 4th gen Accord refered you.

h22avid · 09-23-03, 09:00 AM

I got my JDM H22A from hmotorsonline.com with everything (shifter, cables, tranny, manifolds, wire harness, ecu, correct axles, hasport mounts, etc.) for $3k shipped to my door. All other tid bits like my pedal box assembly and clutch master cylinder (converted from automatic to manual of course) I got from Import Auto Salvage in NC... really cheap and they ship anywhere.

I agree, I had my swap all budgeted then I got hit with the credit card fee. They are the best though, worth the extra fee. I got absolutely everything I needed and didn't have to hunt salvage yards for anything. Really knowledgeable and helpful folks.

shawn_crx8891 · 10-13-03, 12:12 PM

1st gen b16a swap from hmotorsonline.com. took 2 months to get it but was told about 3 weeks when i ordered. motor was missing some bolts here and there, and didn't have all the stock mounts like it was supposed to. tranny has consistent grind in 3rd and reverse. price was good though (1911.00 shipped)

B18TurboEF · 10-26-03, 09:22 PM

hmotorsonline.com ....not too bad of a price, but took a week and a half to get it to me, and its only a 7hr drive...but very good condition

well a lot of times they're still waiting on the boat to arrive before they can off load it and get it to you if it's a JDM motor so that could have been the delay

**Nightshade** · 12-21-03, 01:45 AM

I bought mine private party and it had about 20k miles on it...no problems at all and fully papered.

RHOADS64 · 01-18-04, 01:47 PM

HMOTORSONLINE.COM

I got my b18c from Steve there, great price, fast shipping (like a week) The motor is the cleanest I've ever seen..looked like they armoralled all the hoses and shit..def would buy from them again. They also have alot of misc JDM parts and stuff check em out

Knives · 01-19-04, 02:45 AM

HMO... How much is the credit card charge? I'm planning on buying an h22a swap from them in a couple of days.

I think the credit card fee when I ordered my H22 was like $50; I honestly can't remember, I do know that it was a percentage of the total.

I paid a total of $3014 for the complete motor swap, the correct axles, the ECU, the Hasport mounts, shipping, and credit card fee.
