he only gives your "axle cores" so you have to take them somewhere to trade in for some new/rebuilt ones...just letting you know

Osaka Motors has the 2nd gen B16 swap with just the basics for around $1900 I believe. Check with them, they have a groupbuy on www.groupbuycenter.com and have other motors available as well. Check with them before you make your purchase with Jkan.

I just ordered a B16A2 with LSD from Osaka. $2150.00+S&H Shipped C.O.D. Mark was very helpful and even sent me a photo of the engine I was ordering. Very nice and informative.

I asked for photos from hmotorsonline and was told "they are on the way", never heard a thing. Talked to IAS, $$$$$$! Other shops said send us money and we'll send a photo.

Paid by wire transfer. Will take photos and post pictures.

thats gonna be a *****, cuz that car is OBD1, and I know they make OBD1 => OBD2 conversion harnesses, but never saw OBD2 => OBD1. I tried putting a b16a2 into my 93 civic ex, and couldnt get the check engine lights to go away.

Maybe, I'm just retarded, but i dunno, it was harder than what i thought it would be.

It's a 1994 B16A2. I thought they were obd1 I'm having it installed by a shop here in Dallas, Intercrew. They didn't mention that would be a problem.
