hmotorsonline has the complete changeover for 4000 dollars. You wont spend 9k. You might get close to 9k if you got the K20A (type R) which is 5600.

Right there you're at 9600....i personally would boost a bseries...there are plenty of boosted GSRs on Honda-tech that last a long time. i wouldnt discount them as unreliable.....reliability all depends on what you put into it....

Hes not telling you to add the $4000 and the $5600 hes saying thats the difference in the K20a Type R

i think it was superbluecivicsi who had a good write up and he estimated the cost to be about 9k

k20 intermediate shaft.................$220
Axles from 02+ si.........................$100 from junkyard
RSX Subframe............................$600(quoted from Acura) $150 from junkyard
Hasport Mounts............................................ .$400
Shifter Assembly.......................................... ...$100
Shifter Cables............................................ ....$300
02+ si radiator.......................................... ...$150 (TYC brand)
fans.............................................. .................$30 universal fan from autozone
02+ si upper radiator hose..................................$13
02+ si lower radiator hose...................................$11
RSX Throttle cable............................................. $40
RSX Fuel Line.............................................. ......$45
RSX Brake booster line........................................$45
RSX Purge Line.............................................. .....$40
02+ si ac line from compressor to condensor............$100
RSX Clutch Line From slave to master.....................$20 from junkyard
RSX high pressure power steering hose...................$240
RSX Power steering return line...............................$50
92-95 Civic Power steering resevoir with bracket.......$50

Optional Stuff:
Hondata........................................... ................about $900
Hasport/Hybrid Racing Engine Harness....................about $300**
(complete new harness)

So the grand total not including the motor on just the parts needed list for the swap comes out to roughly around $3800.

Just remember that this does not include the motor... i have seen complete motors that go for as low as $2000 for the SI to as much as $5000 or more for the JDM type R...

So now when you add everything that brings it up to roughly
$5900 or possibly lower to as much as $8900 or more.

you dont know anything. you are low on cash. you want a b series swap. that qoute above will make your life easier.

before you even think about all these motors, you need to be concerned with the dpfi to mpfi conversion.
