8k for b16a? even me as one who never did transplant myself knows that price is ridiculous.
there's one workshop do have an eg6 halfcut with b16a on full lock lsd tranny which cost around that price too.
here's the thing, they are searching for someone with d series engine to swap in so the final cost can be cut down too.

no....last time mean bout half year ago....cheap compared to other since it is newer gen eg6 with clean engine, low mileage , water line no rust at all, have abs and tcd that i cant use and , valve cover dont have single scratch ... it is still expensive compare to west malaysia since i keep saw ppl sell eg6 and 9 manual h/cut at 7.5k

wsukun...Bseries halfcuts are an investment...6 years ago an auto B16a stock standard (no lsd, no TCS, no ABS, no cruise control etc etc) will set u back ~ rm4500...last i checked last year, the same halfcut would cost u around rm 7k. all this is without installation...

B18Cr3 n B16Bs are in a whole other league...5 digit price tag!

minifans...for long term i would say it's worth it. u get good FC when u want it and power when u need it. the B16a is practically bomb proof so it would most proly last longer than the body. but r u willing to spend at least 8k for a conversion? even if yr perceived value of the car increases, your insurance wont be bothered about what engine is inside so if anything happens, u wont be able to recover the expenses spent on the conversion...n the EG is now very hot with car thieves...esp if they know u have a B16a or B18c inside...very dangerous.

save a little bit more money, and go for K20A transplant....it will last u even longer....the B-series has been around for so many years already....even with the "nicest and cleanest" halfcut u can find, the worn out factor of the parts inside will still be there...K20A halfcut on the other hands, are newer...and even in its stock form, it's already perform very good in an EG-chasis...
