I'd call and ensure that I was really getting a complete B18C auto with proper ECU...... they've always been pretty rare, and the low price is suspicious.

Also a word of warning, if you find a motor from someone nobody's ever heard of for a great price, there's probably an 80% chance your going to get screwed. Either missing or damanged parts (shift linkage, mounts, axles, ECU ...) that are going to blow your budget up past what it would cost to just buy a complete motor from a reputable company (I don't know anything about the company you posted and their manual price is reasonable but I've personally never seen an automatic B18C1 setup before so that makes a little fishy). Save your money, do it right the first time, trust me.

They're good people, my cuz and another friend both got swaps from them, and they came out perfect, steve i believe was the guy takin care of it. Plus if u look at the topendmotorsports website, they call it a B18C1, but they claim its from a japanese gsr, a japanese gsr would be a B18C, USDM is B18C1 soo, just sumthin i noticed. id def go with hmotorsonline, they'll get u the jdm gsr (10.6 compression) and u wont get stuck with the USDM (10.1)
