The price on the engine was OK, considering that it had very, very low milage. However, it did not come with a subframe, ECU, or radiator (~$700 total). But... I purchased it from the Horsepower connection in Fort Lauderdale, FL and they have a start up garauntee, and did a compression test. They also pulled the harness and sent it to Hasport a week before it was shipped to me and gave me the Hasport axles, harness, and mounts at their cost. So all considering $3995 for the engine and tranny shipped was a good price. to Jenni at HP connection. I will post up a parts list with what I paid after this is all complete to give you guys an idea of what to expect.

to everyone that reads this... the prices i have POSTED on my DIY may not be the same from state to state... so if you look around and see that someones swap costs $4000 where as the next guy spent $7000... just remember it all depends on where u get the parts and so forth...

^^^^I paid $4000 for just the engine shipped LOL. Alot of the cost is shipping too. I bet I spent close to $800 on shipping alone. So if you are willing to drive then you could save some $. All of my prices will include ALL costs including shipping.

Before anyone gives me **** I know that the prices in my sig don't match these. The prices in my sig are retail .

So you can see that some things I did very well on others not so well. The key is how much patients you have. I spent ALOT of time on clubrsx, ephatch, and k20a.org sourcing parts. The only area that I think I could have shaved $ on, is if the engine would have came with shifter cables, subframe, and the front and rear engine mounts. The ecu was not that big of a deal becuase I got the ecu with hondata installed for $100-200 more than the price of hondata. All and all I could have saved around $800, putting me under 7K. I did get the axles with my swap, and sold them for $200 + shipping so that was nice

I got the Ecu with hondata already installed. I could have gotten Hondata for $800, but I could not find a ECU and by the time I found an ECU had it shipped to me, then shipped it to the hondata dealer for an install. I was not worth it.

why did u get the rear mount??? the hasport kit already comes with it??...


anyways like i said... everyones swap will cost differently than others.. he spent close to $8000 for the swap.. i spent closer to $6000 for my swap.. but of course people who have to pay a shop to do a swap will be on the higher side... so dont go around saying a swap will cost you $8000+ when it can range... some food for thought.. FYI
