jdm honda parts has complete b16s for 1500 shipped…w/ trans and ecu. first what do i have to do to put this in? give me the blah blah version if its long. my other alternative its to rebuild the b18a1 i have now…164k. what do you guys think?

Here’s to sum it up. If you’ve got a tired B18A I strongly suggest just getting a b16a and having fun with it. If you’ve got a strong B18A it’s up to you, I personally am building my B18A because it only has 60k miles on it. Good luck on whatever you choose!

come on guys talk technical…besides the 1500 shipped how much is this gonna cost me w/o install?
LOOK IN TEG TIPS. there’s a swap guide with everything you need to do the swap. Stuff you’re gonna need are new belts, water pump, etc, if you want a reliable car and anything thats currently worn or broke on your car or the jdm motor (tps, distributor cap, etc) you’ll need to replace. i’d go with the b16 swap though. i did one for someone and there’s so many mods you can get for a vtec motor for some decent gains.
