well i was thinking i would need $5000 for the b18c1 swap--autosolutions price---complete gareente no codes

I can get the swap from a few diffrent web site for about 3000 or so but I am lost when it comes to this i am new to the honda scene.

Heres the deal on specifications this has to met.
Daily driver so I cant have major problems that will result in more than a day down time.
I want high 12's at leaste
I would prefer a vtec motor
N/A motor maybe ( big maybe ) happy gas later on down the road.
I need something that I wont need to dump lots and lots of money to keep it running ( so it has to be a strong motor )

B18c1 all the way. GSR's the best bang for you're buck dude. And it meets all of your specifications. Definately go GSR.......

b18c1 is what I want but I thought I would see what everyone on here thinks. My hf runs good so I am in no hurry to get a motor I am just sick of being slow. My probe was faster then this car....it sucks.
