Default Noyans just gave me a quote...any advice?

full swap, wiring, hoses, all the little stuff, motor/tranny/ecu tuning for a b18c for about 4500...

is that too much? it sounds reasonable to me if they take care of everything in about 2-3 days assuming i provide them a clutch...and they said they had a program or somehting to go from obd2 and back for emissions issues on a 96 civic hatch.

if i do this, its going to be after winter...i need the swap to be done reliably...as much as i would love to have someone doit for 500 in their garage...and save me 1-1.5k but i cannot run into problems because i do fulltime school and fulltime work (spread out on two jobs...)

I know the guy that does them Leon. He does good work, and noyan doesn't let it out there shop until the boss come and drives the car to make sure it runs good and gives the work the OK. So if your looking for good work they are the place.

if you dont mind paying that price, then go ahead. The guys that does Noyans mechanical work are good honest people. They did my friend's H22 swap a few years ago. He ended up having some problems with the motor (not problem with the swap), and Noyan diagnosed everything for free, so they back their work up.

i might be able to get the motor cheapier for you, but all the labor prices is done thru my friend Mark (manager of service side) so i couldnt get that down. But thats what your prolly gonna pay going to any shop

That price sounds about right if they are putting it in. Swaps go for about $3200 and then factoring in labor and parts.

When I had my civic priced out for a GSR with axles, full manual tranny, wiring, ecu, the complete engine with only 30K on it in great condition, and all the little stuff it came to about $4-4.5K so that does sound right. Especially if they back their work.

Sounds like a good deal to me, especially if the turn around time is that quick.
