    yah, if you want it to last...

    forget turbo, though... just get the swap. 100k is about right, and should cover everything, as long as there are no complications.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    whew, mukhang mahal na ang b-series ngayon, three or four years ago b16a was going for 35K with tranny, b16b for 75K...maybe scarce na talaga

    if you're interested in going all-motor, why not look at the k-series? maybe you can check if the k20A (fitted on the 200hp 2.0 civic type R) is available locally or has been imported.

    if you're into hybrids, b-series options would be a b20 block (2.0 li displacement) with the b16/b18 head, or for the k-series the k24 block (2.4 li displacement) with k20 head...but i digress

    but i don't think it'll fit the EG body... it's just for the ES,EP3,Jazz/FIt... bka sakit lang sa ulo un pag nilipat mopa sa EG. just go for a b16EG. sakto ito sa EG civic mo

    yup, the k20-in-EG would be very challenging...aside from the above mentioned, pwede rin sya sa EK Civics (96-00).

    K20s are still too expensive secondhand. I'd go for a B16A for minimum hassle.

    And, yah, odell, even with moderate boost, you can mess up the engine... if your mechanic has no idea what he is doing.

    currently ay nagsa shopping ako ng engine to swap sa aking eg. right now ang jdm D15B vtec 16valve ay nasa $600, B16A1 naman ay halos $1.4-$2k ang presyu...ang C5 ay ubod din ng mahal.

    So mas murang bumili sa pinas imo...lalo na sa mga banawe and sa imus. siyanga pala engine swap daw ay hindi naman mahirap gawin...kahit first timer ka ay 2 days lang tops.

    i am planning on doing a swap very soon kasi napurnada ang camshaft ng civic ko and replace ko na rin ang engine.

    D15B with turbo ay ayos nga daw sa dami ng naririnig ko. so far kapag ndi ako nakakita ng good B16 ay mag D15B na lang ako.

    And yeah mahal ang B16A lalo na pag kumpleto... pero sa Pinas mura lang cguro ang labor kahit dini ay about 10K pesos lang ang engine swap sa mga Mexicans
