general cost of a d17a2 swap hello friends, well i've been searching on goggle and ebay, and i have yet to find the mean price for a d17a2 swap. i know, i know, i should should go for a k20a2, but i can't afford to do that right now since i have not complete college. here's why i want a new engine. Firstly, i have a very modest amount of miles - 112,300 to be exact, high for an 01. I purchased the car used with 93k in September, PLUS my timing belt needs replacing, which translates into about $145 dollars - and many hours of manual labor. So, i've considered getting a new d17a2 with fewer miles on it. I was reading around and i've seen members post that they've had a new engine plopped in for as low as $600. Is this reasonable? It seems awefully low. I was also checking out ebay and i saw an engine for $1,200. Which seems awefully high. So, my question is - how much would it cost to buy the engine - and have it dropped into my car by my local mechanic. thank you for your time and keep rollin' -Thuener |
1200 is toooo high B series cost near that get the low one or lookin the for sale forums someone may be selling a engine |
Why not just go with a K20a3? |
yeah i've seen them go for $600-700 on average. For the cost of the install i would just pay a little more and just do a k20a3 swap. |

change your timing belt and save for a k20a3 i've seen A3 complete swaps go for $1400 which includes everything 7thgeners need to drop a A3 in our Engine bay and includes ESA |
Why swap??? Do you plan on turboing? If not, leave it alone and save for k-series. The d17 only has 113k on it... that's not a lot for a Honda. |
yeah if you look carefully enough, you can find a k20a3 swap for $1500. Install is what is going to rape you. Install can go from $800-2000. |
Yeah, just change your timing belt, That engine will run forever. |
I approve change your belt and save for a better engine. You will enjoy it a whole lot more. |
seriously show me where someone got a k20a3 swap for 1500 plus 800-2000 for work, i could freaking afford that |
