I plan on swapping a GSR motor in my 96 ek hatch. I was wondering on what a reasonable gsr motor would go for. Plz help me out, just so i don't get ripped off.

 

usdm about 3000.00 engine tranny.
jdm about 2800... engine tranny.
i see you live in cali so jdm is out!
check your local honda acura junkyard for prices...
my gsr swap ran $3300.00..... 3000.00 for the engine and 300 for the labor and gsr brake upgrade....

"honda acura parts" in chula vista CA, hook me up.....
talk to jesus...

 

Oh ok, thanx man... My friend wants to sell me his usdm for 2700, i think he just rebuilt everything, so i guess I'll get it because it sounds like a good deal. Thanx

 

it's definately worth the money

 

First things first ... Going GSR b18c/1 your going to need the following parts .

-gsr throttle cable (usually purchase the year of the motor)
-aftermarket motor mounts (if you plan on being cheap and going with oem mounts you will then need the following)
- 99-00 si top transmission bracket
- 99-00 si rear t bracket
- 99-00 si motor bracket (it has two studs comming up , bolted to the b16a2 block)
- 99-00 si complete driverside mount
(since your EK is a 96 , its best to find a 96-98 civic ex engine harness)(unless you plan on going cheap and just using your stock nonvtec harness and splicing and rewiring vtec+knock)

Im pretty sure you can purchase a complete swap for a affordable price, Im from Texas and swaps down here go 1,800$ complete (axles,shiftlinkage,ecu,engineharness,etc...)

Let me know how it goes , you can also shop around local websites www.honda-tech.com , www.ebay.com .... GOOD LUCK
