hi guys... I'm thinking to get my 93 del sol engine swapped, just wondering how much would it cost for the labour only, and where sould I do it? ( any certain mechanic do this ) thanks..
>>>> I'm going to get b18c5 motor and mine is auto, I will switch
into manual trans.

 

save yourself a few grand and get a b18c1. i seem to be saying this a lot lately. :down:

go to a shop that specializes in honda's and that has a good rep. most shops will charge $500-$1000 for labor. since you'll be doing an auto->manual conversion too, expect another $100-300 in parts and $300-500 in labor. these are just my guesstimations.

is b18c1 better than b18c5? tell me how

 

no. However there only a small power difference for an extra $1000-$2000. Its up to you. If I were you, id try to find a del sol that came with a b16 stock. It might end up saving you alot of $$

 

I have to think twice to get another del sol, cuz I have spent some $$ to do the body and exterior.. rims, tire spoiller all those kind stuff, yea those motor is almost the same but the price is so much different..I wonder why... damn I dont know what to do...

 

Well if you don't mind putting more money into the car, i would suggest that you get the B18c1 and tranny and do the swap!! you'll be very happy that you did!!

 

if you plan to drop in an engine and never mod it, go ahead with the b18c5. but if you plan to do any sort of work, you're better off with a b18c1 and dumping that money you saved into mods that'll make you whoop on c5's all day. c5's are so overhyped it's unreal. :a:
