Question about 98 Gsr

[clatescivicr]

Hey guys I might be getting a 98 Gsr motor, tranny, and everything else for a swap. I was just wondering how much do you think I should pay for it...it has atmost 56k miles on it. This is for a USDM Gsr too, just wondering how much I should be paying for it? Thanks inadvance!

Here in Australia for a JDM B18c it costs between 2 - 3 thousand, so about between 1000 - 1500 US dollars. It is usually on the higher end of that figure though, because B16a's go for about 2000 AU.

well for my swap i had an LS and swapped to GSR. The GSR block was about 2600. The Head was used andwas only $600. Then you gotta buy the ECU which if you wanna buy my 94 GSR ECU I will sell it for $150 but stock they run about $300. Tranny will run u about $750. Labor depends on where u live but usually around here runs about $1200. Hope that helps

So you paid 3200 without tranny? Ouch. That seems pretty high to me but I am use to JDM engine prices. I don't need any parts, it comes with everything. Thanks though.

If the engine is in good condition then expect to pay around 3000 - 3500 USD.
These things aren't cheap...
