I have a 96 Civic EX. I want to do a B18C swap but I am now wondering if i'm wasting money shooting for the Type R. I can get the full swap everything needed including HASPORT mounts and brand new 32MM axles for $5075 for the 98+ Spec Type R. Now the GSR motor is something like $1500 cheaper? Am I better off saving the $1500 and building the GSR? I really need help and personal experiences on this one. Would you spend $5075 for a swap into a 96 Civic? Should I go cheaper and turbo? It is my daily driver so it is a must that it will start and go everyday without problems. I was told by a few dont boost if its your daily driver unless you have more money to spend on rebuilding it to be reliable. So what do I do? I need to know before Friday. Also I have never in my life done a swap so I have no clue what I am doing. I called a shop and they said $750 and that includes making me the new B piping to match up. Still that is a lot of money spent that I could have saved. I need the exhaust done but how much could that be? I figure they charge $500 to swap and $250 for exhaust? IDK another shop told me $400 to swap. Can I do it myself or am I going to be sititng in front of my car with a handfull of wires wondering where everything goes? I could save $300 if I dont get the HASPORT mounts.
