Conversion - BIG Vtec

[devilangel]

SIFUz,

Hopefully I wont get flamed for starting this tread.
Im planning to get a Honda Civic 1.6 (A) either efi or single vtec, 97/98 model.

My questions are:-

1) Do the mechanics "trade-in" your stock engine?
2) At what price?
3) Do they off set price with the half-cut?
4) Std cost of conversion B16A (A) wit labour RM7k below
(is this high for auto?)

VI-rs conversion abt RM3.5k wit paint (guessing taiwan) quoted by a reputable Pandan Indah accessory shop.
Is the price ok?

Hopefully SIFUz can answer me the above questions without
me getting flamed

Dude, its not takut, its a forum where YOU do tend to get flamed for asking certain questions! Take for instance what UR doing now, asking questions instead of answering the posted questions!

To the rest of YOU who answered/gave replies THANK YOU
for YOUR constructive replies.

try to answer ur q:

1.not really...most of us just ignor the original engineor sell it super cheap

3.for some yes...but again for a very low price...less than 1K

4.should be around there, depends on what halfcut model u r going 4... if EK, i think it should be higher consider labor n replacement parts cost

1)depend on mechanic...last time i trade in my 1.6sohc engine including g/box i got 1k.
2)
3)better u buy h/cut with ur ownself. b16a auto h/cut price is rm4.5 ~ rm5k depend on h/cut condition. (ek model)
4)normally if u convert ur engine w/out change any items they charge u about 1k ~ 1.2k. (depend on workshop). so if your budget is below then 7k....u can istall vvvvvvtec...

vi-rs conversion with paint about rm3.5k is std price.

 

[hattech-v]

3.5K for virs conversion? considering paint job 1.5K... then 2K for b/parts.. that cheap man... even if its taiwan...
unless u say either front or rear only..

1) normal workshop sometimes would accept trade in, depending on the condition of the engine la..i'm not so sure about tuners workshop

2) again depending on the engine la

3) no idea

4) normally conversion for manual is more expensive i think..last time i did my conversion for b16a manual plus labour is rm9k

hope this will help
