Engine Swaps?
 

okay i have a 2000 honda civic ex, and this spring i am going to buy a motor package (b18c1, thats integra GSR motor for all those who dont know) and i was wondering who all has one and where is the best place to buy one? i wanna good price too.....

this site might help... http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/shops.html

www.sohfast.com is respectable, but expensive. very expensive.
www.jdmhondaparts.com is ok.
sometimes www.groupbuycenter.com has buys on JDM engines, which is always nice. if i happen upon anymore links i will post em up for y00.

thanks guys you have been a big help....

Please do not use Sohfast, I have heard some very bad stories about their motors. I have heard of several, not just a few people receiving stolen motors from them. When I was looking for my swap, every shop in Cali that sold them did not have any, he had 4, why, cause no one wnated to use him cause of previous problems.
go here to here about many different shops and peoples experiences.

I've personally dealt with Jerome Soh of Sohfast, and I'd reccomend them. The problems he's encountered were NOT of him selling known stolen motors, rather, the suppliers of his engines were obtaining stolen motor and Jerome didn't verify all of them, hence he ran into problems when some of the motors he sold were traced back to their original cars which were stolen. Not Jerome's fault...::no::

that's what i also heard, he's very professional in doing business and i don't think he is a crook.

well i just got my gsr engine on friday from import auto salvage..
i paid $3650 shipped (if this engine is in pretty sweet condition, i think i had a good deal coz the prizes on engines are ridicoulously rising)... so far the engine looks tight; everything i need for a swap seems to be there... i cant drop it in just yet coz im still waiting for the clutch to replace it.. i will keep you updated.
thanks...

hey i got a 95 b18c1 in my civic hatch its a good powerfull engine. had it in there for bout 1 1/2 now havent had any major problems just minor things, got it dropped in by a buddy of mine who gots a shop for 2800.

$2800 is a good deal...but that was a yr ago. now the prices are just rocketing...where did u get it from? what's ur best quarter mile time so far? thanks...
