thats only because its OBDII, but he has converted to OBDI already, so as far a wiring is concerned, its the same as using a D16Z6 motor w/ the p28 ECU.........

So, does anyone know how much i should offer him?

oh thats sweet that it will go in then ... does he have a price or a ballpark hes lookin to get or did he just tell you to make an offer?

well seeing as how you can get the 160hp b16a from hmotorsonline for about $1900 with LSD tranny shipped, i'd offer him like $2000

but also, this comes w/ a header, chipped ECU and distributor, u think thats worth only 100?

well make him an offer, but i woudn't pay more than say 2500 or so, and thats a stretch. i mean when you buy an engine from a distributor it usually has a guarantee as well as business backing. When buying from an individual, you have to just "trust them" on the engine condition.

go for 2200-2300, it has some nice additions to it

2500. IF he wants more...mind as well go buy a gsr motor.
