I finally buged and I'm going to be ordering a b18c. I'm just lookin for a place online with good shipping rates, and is somewhat cheaper than other places, and a complete swap with axles, linkage, harness, etc. This is a spring break project, so about 10 days. Is it possible? How long did it take you all to do your swaps?

 

About 2 straight days with the right tools. Would of been about 1.5 days if I didnt have seized rusted bolts.

 

took mine first time about 4 or 5 hours, ripping out the old, and putting in the new.

the other day we did a compression test on my engine, then took off the head, dropped the oil pan, took out the crank rods and pistons so all that was left was the bare block and the tranny...30 min.

All on a lift though with endless amounts off tools and a engine builder/race car driver present. (honda hatchback 10.4 street class modified. Turbo)

 

If you did not order it yet, you have less than 10 days. I dont think you took shipping time into consideration?

 

took me about 2 days to take out and put it

took my bro about a day and a half but that was a d16

 

I took my time and did everything myself. Only had help physically raising the old engine out and lowering the new one in and it took me 3 days including 1 day for creating the exhaust and double checking everything.
I also had air tools and pretty much every other tool at my disposal at the time.

Doing another one... there is no way it would take me more than two days total. (12-14 hour days of course )

 

Usually takes me about 2-3 hours to do a swap.

 

I'm off for a week in April, so I'm planning now.

 

Where are you located?
