Rep Power: 0 Best Shop
Hey guys,
I live in Edmonton and was wondering if any of you know of a reliable and experienced shop that will be able to do an engine swap (05 civic) with as little problems as possible. I understand that Toptech is a pretty good import shop and called them, but they have no experience doing a swap on a 5th gen and was pretty hesitant at first about doing the job.
He was making it quite clear there could be a lot of problems which I guess is understandable so I'm going to do as much research on this site as I can prior to getting this started.
So thats my story.

Rep Power: 277 ahhhhh.....well my kpro was hooped so i sent my original base ecu to get kpro'd. other than that the car's ready to roll. No a/c though as of yet. just let me tell you guys, adding a turbo kit drove my costs up BIG time due to all the misc extra parts and custom work. the swap alone would have been done a looooong time ago.
