Civic EG

I was wondering, what the price would be of a full B18c4 swap.
In Great Britain that is, shipping to Holland from the States is unaffordable, from the UK do-able, especially since my neighbour is an Englishman who goes back once in a while.

A typical Dutch price would be € 3.500,-
That would be little under £ 2.400,- or little over $ 4.700,-

Gimme your 2cts. please

b18c4?? is that a gsr?? sorry i never heard of that block code before...

I'll put this in the Europe section, it should get more locals to view it there

c4 has lsd c1 dont

they both have same tranny ratios and butterfly im's

the b18c4 is from the MB6 civic aint it?

if im thinking of the right engine then a full swap will go for ?700 - ?800

they are a very cheap engine because alot of people tend to go for the b18c or b18c6 from the ITR's

HTH

damn i hate the netherlands.. there'll going dutch..

The B18c4 does have LSD and a butterfly intake, 170hp, only downside is the OBD2 ECU, but a few friends of mine have or had a swap like that running on OBD1.
So they could help me out with this, knowledge is at hand, it's just the costly goods ;)

Anyone know a site in GB where I can buy this engine?
Ebay UK, or is'nt that a wise choice...
This will make a decent swap a lot more affordable!
It's even a few hundred CHEAPER than a typical Dutch B16a2 swap...

Even a B16a2 swap will cost you about ? 2500,- (? 1710,- / $ 3375,-) in Holland...
A B18c6 goes for about twice that... probably the reason why the B18c4 swap is becoming more and more the next big thing, and a B16a2 swap is the most common.

A full B18c4 swap is IMO this;
* engine + i/m + stock header,
* gearbox + axles.
* starter.
* engine mounts.
* ECU.
* ignition.
* dynamo (alternator same thing??).
* wiring.
* gear linkage.
That is wat I'll get for just 800 GBP??
That's nice! That would bring a nice turbo project even closer to home

So, if any of you want to make a few extra quit/bucks, start shipping B18's to Holland!
