Hello all, I have a few questions about swapping a b18a into a 91 civic dx 4 door. I am comfortable with the actual install of the motor but I was wondering what wiring changes are needed besides the mpfi swap? As far as I can tell it should be just like dropping a dohc zc in as far as the wiring is concerned. Also what would the going rate be for the swap? I have an idea as to what I should charge for the work but it would be nice to get some other opinions.

Thats what I thought but thank you for the input. And yes, I am wondering what is considerd to be a fair price to charge someone to do the swap.

I wouldnt go that cheap!!
$500 includes pulling the b18 out of a wrecked hatch and installing it into a dx 4 door. I figured pulling both motors out and swapping over all the pieces plus the wiring and istalling the new motor is worth that. I am not a backyard car guy, I have a shop to run and so I have to charge enough to make it worth the effort.

Thats what i was thinking too... the pulling 2 motors and putting one in.
