Default Cost?

just curious, how much do you all think it would be to swap out my d16y8 and put in a b16b with tranny, and then turbo it?

^ yeah, it's a pretty overrated engine... a b18 would respond to boost just as well

i would use a b18 gsr, but thats me. I suggest you do a lot of researching before you turbo or purchase a motor.

for a gsr swap, you're looking at about 2500-3000 for the engine. Motor mounts, new clutch, and misc. items will all add up.
