dseries are cheap, and easy to replace if shit happens. this makes them perfect if you’re aiming for 250whp or less on stock block. But imo if you want 300+, i’d go with the b-series. ---

my total cost is still less than the cost of a stock gsr swap. i will take 300+ whp over 160whp any day of the week. 💏 the only way i would switch to a dohc is if i wanted more than 400 (i can still do that on a sohc, and may do it on this one just becasue i can) and if it was a k series. b series are over rated, and over priced. edit… i priced it all out for the dohc people. now you can go home and cry about how you spent too much for your swap that doesnt make any power. Block 50 Rods 260 Pistons 130 Rings 30 Head free (traded for one of my extra ones) New turbo (small 16g) 50 dollars and my old head unit Bar and Plate FMIC 220 ARP head studs 90 Manifold Flanges 45 Pipe 60 Tial wastegate 200 RFL BLV 80 2.5 bar map sensor free sample (yea, im the man) Engine management and tooooning (free, duh) 8 hours of labor at hybrid 520 Small stuff off my current setup, oil lines and what not, a total of about 200 All that’s left is my charge pipe that should be about 80 in pipe The welding for my manifold, and some misc stuff that shouldn’t be more than 400 This does not include the composite pipes that I will be making this fall, or the itb’s that I will also be using (yea, itb turbo sohc Honda) So what does that add up to? 2415 These swap prices are quoted off Honda-tech from speedDOCHtors b16a (sir II) into eg/dc - $2550 b16a (sir II) into ek - $2750 b16a (sir I) into ef (si, hf) - $2050! ----\> good price b16a (sir I) into ef (dx) - $2250 b18c (gsr) into eg/dc - $3600 b18c (gsr) into ek - $3750 b18c (gsr) into ef - $3900 - with hasport mounts!! Yea, I think my 300+whp was the better way to go. ---

you also have a lot of good hook ups and did a lot of parts searching, and a lot of time. It will be fast I’m sure, but I like oem honda reliability, and my all motor MPG, 30+ on every tank so far ---

Since I didn’t opt to follow the suggetion in your title… I can only assume that to be an ice cream maker… In which case… awesome job so far… My favorite ice cream is strawberry, I will be looking forward to some home made strawberry ice cream when its all said and done. Keep up the good work. ---

1 peanut butter cup please. If I were to buy a civic, what would you charge to do all the work to make an identical setup? Hypothetically speaking of course. The swaps you listed are someone else doing the work… what would you charge?\> ---

those swaps were just the cost of the swap. not the labor. i wouldnt charge anything. its what hybrid would charge. parts, plus 10-15 hours of labor. depending how much you did yourself. ---
