unless you have a big hole in your current b18a, rebuild it and boost it or go NA.

expect labor to be $1000-1500 depending on where you get it done. parts wise another $1-2k depending on what parts you choose and where you get them. on top of all that another $400-500 for tuning.

grab yourself a helms manual if you intend to do any sort of modifiying your engine. putting an engine together is not something for a novice to attempt as all clearances have to be correct to ensure a good running engine.

i'm sorry to bug
but my consent is to know wether it could be done
swapping an engine froma 93 prelude to a 2000 civic sedan?
i don't know much about the swap, but my concern is the sedan is an automatic and the engine is a manual! how would this work w/out the ecu and clutch pedal and all the goodies to make this work?
