Finally, b20/vtec

I know there are obviously a lot of variables, but about how much would you say a B20/vtec swap costs? Im curious because I might need a project to build next year in school and this engine has been one of my possibilities.

Okay, assuming you buy a complete B20 motor, and not just a B20 block. All of this is just what I typically see, for a stock setup. Also, this is if you do it all yourself.

Motor-$900
vtec head (B16) Complete- $350
B16 distributor- $150
B16 ECU- $200
Machine work (unless you are comfortable doing this yourself)- $50
New OEM vtec head bolts- $60
OEM headgasket- $50
OEM timing belt- $40
Oil line- $50
Electrical supplies- $20
Fluids- $20
radiator hose- $10
total- $1900

Now, thats assuming you pay market price on parts. There are deals to be made out there. I have seen B20 blocks go for $500 or so, and I picked up my B16 head for $150 complete. Traded an OBDII vtec dizzy for a non OBD vtec dizzy. Also, there is the possibility of resaling your old parts, etc.
