swap install prices

ASSISTANCE Hybrids & Advanced Aftermarket Engine Performance

I contacted a local shop to see what it would cost to install a B16A in place of my B18A1. I got a quote of about $1000 CND. Is this a lot of money for just getting the engine installed. THis was for labor only and to hook up the VTEC to my wiring harness and install a JDM ECU. What have you guys payed to get your motors installed. This is making me think I should just do it myself and some of my friends.

What’s that $600-700 US? That seems about right, not bad actually.

3

if u have the motor waiting to be swapped, its $500 just for labor standard price in nyc

4

500$ for drive away swap if u bring the motor is average

5

Are you saying $1000Cdn for Engine, tranny, ECU, proper mounts/axles, and labour? Or just $1000Cdn for labour alone?

The 1000 bucks was for just the labor of installing the motor and hooking up the wiring…

Sounds like a lot. My mechanic in Toronto can do the whole swap for $2000Cdn. including taxes. The motor, tranny, and ECU are $1250 incl. taxes all together. So labour is only $750Cdn. Then again, I have to leave my old engine behind.

Car Tune Genie’s is the name of the place. Nearest major intersection is Dixie and Dundas in Mississauga. The plaza next to the Petro Canada station (not the plaza with Pizza Hut in it). His shop is right behind that plaza. Ask for Curtis, he’s the owner.

Tell him Oscar sent you, and he quoted me $2000 for a B16 swap back in November 2001. BTW, I’m pretty sure the B16 that he’ll get is a USDM version. He’s open on weekdays until 5:30PM and Saturdays until 1:00PM (or something like that). 905-273-5966. It’s best to reach him first thing in the morning.

If more than one person show up for a swap, he might give you guys a group deal or something.
