I am new to the forum. I need some help from all of the experts out there b/c I am a little confused. Just bought a b18c3 jdm motor with obd2 ecu, tranny, and wiring, and it is currently being shipped. Do you guys know what extras that I will need to complete the swap (like axles, etc.) and how much money I am looking at. I probably wouldn't have gone with this motor, but I got a really good deal on this one.
Thanks,

Im also new to some of this motor swap stuff, but from what Ive learned is that you will most likely need new axels to withstand the power from the drietrain... If I phrased that correctly... But yea new axels and redatech has axels u can purchase... I dont know how much they are though... Or there website.. You will have to look around... Sorry if I didnt answer your question.

B18C3? never heard of it..must be a non-v-tec thing..anyways...havep lenty of money on hand ready to buy parts when it comes time to install..think of things that would get/are broken from shipment. oil plug, exhaust manifold, distributer, motor mounts, anything like that, have like an extra 500-600 dollars, and be sure to check the completed job thuroughly, let it idle, fan kicks on, test drive, remember, your buying a used motor, so it will also involve what your "fine motor installer" considers a "complete swap". just think of everything so your installer isnt sitting there with a half done swap, and your cash supply is maxed out from renting porn. you get the idea though.
