I am givin ya a hard time....JDM motors dont have numbers at the end it would just be a B16A gen one, gen two...etc. the block doesnt have number stamps....as far as the swap plus turbo it can cost as little or as much as you want (within reason including swap and turbo)

what are your goals for this motor.

If your planning on purchasing a swap from a reputable company and then add say a greddy, Apexi etc...turbo to the setup your looking at approx 7000cdn +. Thats just for the equipment....then the install and trouble with perhaps some broken peices

It's not cheap to if ya want to do it right, unless you know the right people

regardless it won't be cheap

JDM b16a2....hehe!!!

^^^ kidding :thumbup:

he lives behind the preposition "at". j/k . ontopic you look at all the labor done yourself like 6k's or more. that will be expensive, if you get a shop to do it, expect 8k or more.
