Kool thanx for tha help
Mine came from craigslist. I was able to drive the car before it was pulled. Thats what id recommend
My only problem with that is im trying to get a b18c from a gsr or type r and no ones ever parting them out.Originally Posted by mykwikcoupe
thats what mine is and I didnt look for even a week., keep an eye out and make sure you have cash ready to talk. Do your research and be sure you can identify whatever they may toss at you. theirs a big difference from a guy who knows every b seires engine by code and design vs some kid who tells you what it is because hes already been taken to the bank. I have a buddy who went to buy a low mielage b17. he didnt know the codes or signs and came home with an average well cleaned b18a. Its his own fault for not realizing they have codes for a reason.
finding a good "used" gsr or type r is impossible, only thing you'll typically find for sale are either stolen motors or poor abused motors.
if you're serious about the swap buy one with a warranty from hmotors. shipping isn't bad to you because you're on the west coast and steve @ hmo is a good dude.
