To retain my ac I had to get a 94 del sol vtec ac bracket from my local honda dealership, and to have my power steering I had to go down to a hydrolic shop and have them modify the cable to work for my car.
For everything else that i needed to complete the install was a 99-00 si rear mount and a 99-00 si left side mount.
My headers matched up perfectly to my oem cat. I got my 1997 b18c from hmotorsonline.com for $3350 shipped. It was then a $550 install. $1,000-$1500 is a bit much for labor.
Good Luck with the swap :thumbup:
Thanks...
Around $500 to under 1k is the price I was looking for. I dont know why he quoted $1000-$1500 for "Misc" parts and stuff. If I paid that much, they better have everything done for me instead of myself getting custom fabrication for certain parts.
As far as getting parts from the 99-00 si, i can easily get that with little to no problems. How much was the a/c bracket off the del sol? B16 del sol right? Hydrolic shop, what exactly did they do to the power steering? Just a simple cable mod?
What about your radiator? Did you also get it from a b16 del sol?
BTW...Im also jotting some key points down so i can ask him to clairify things. Thanks
