Ive been reading up , kinda , on auto to manny swaps, and overall from u guys i see its gunna cost about 1500 bucks for parts for the tranny(mostly from autozone), not including labor ( am i right?), and then i would have to find a manual transmission first too?. So..
- find a manual tranny ( D16y8 manual)
- 1500 in parts
- and find someplace that will do the swap and get a quote for the labor.
Is this right?
lol, is that all?

I'm 4-4 at the track of course. and yes civics are some of the slowest cars out there. You have 3 options: get used to it, Spend lots of money on a swap/turbo or spend more money on a faster car.

You're going about it all wrong.
-Buy a complete b18 Swap with tranny for about 1000-1500
-Learn to weld
-Swap that thing in yourself
For under 2.5 grand (easily) You could have 140 horses and a manual tranny.

140 crank hp and why is it that you need to know how to weld? I mean it is never a bad thing to learn but you dont need to be able to weld to swap a engine.

I used the search and the "shopping list" for parts was like 1500. I dont want to spend the extra money to swap out to a b18, if anything i would want a k20 but I just want a manny trans.
