worth much?

[mattyoung33]

ok heres the deal... i have an HX. I'm interested in doing a swap I have no idea when just interested. it only has friggen 26,000 miles on it. Is the HX engine worth anything? like would I be able to sell it for a decent amount of money cuz it only has 26,000 miles on it? thanks im just wondering...

A 99 HX you can drop just about anything you want in it. A B16 from the 99/00 Si coupes, B18 from the GSR integra, B18c integra type r motor, the h22 or h23 prelude motor...your choices are many...

yeah i understand that, but does anyone know if the HX engine is worth much.

[kicker1_solo]

you could probably get $3-500 for it

[mattyoung33]

aww really thats it, i was hoping it would be a little higher

[mattyoung33]

and also... about how much money is it to have a place install the new engine into my car? theres a local performance store that I believe will do it i havent checked with them yet to see there prices for it. i understand how much the engines are but what about time/money it will take to have them put it in my car?

I guess it al depends on whee you are at??? Here there are not many hx's they are hard to come bye, so they might pay good money for it!!!

the engine may have low miles, but it is pretty low power. I wouldnt count on selling it to a tuner.....and it is tough to find a non-racer that already blew their obd2 motor, so i would say if u r gonna swap...it may be worth more to you in spare parts or a spare motor (in case you blow up your swap) than anyone else would pay you for it. Personally I wouldn't give you more than 200 for the whole thing...imo. Shops are gonna charge you a ton of cash to swap for you, prolly around 1g just for labor...plus cost of the motor. If you live anywhere near wisconsin and are serious to swap...i will do it for 500 in 1 day, (as long as i have all necessary parts to do so)

Hmmm...with a low budget engine, why not buy a second hand SC or turbo kit? Then if/when it blows, you can sell the turbo kit, bin the engine and do your swap!
