Whats a decent price for a used B18 out of a GSR? I am planning on that for a summer project for my civic and need to start looking at used engines. I am going to rebuild it for use with a turbo. Any helpful hints?

****Also I am looking for any cheap / free mods i can do on my 97 civic right now to gain a little faster time in the quater mile.

GSR = 3,000 dollars

Free Mods =
Put Ice on Motor
Advance Timing
Strip the Inside Out
Remove A/C
Remove Power Steering
tighten the TB cable

Cheap Mods =
Buy a muffler and have a shop pipe it for you (cost a lil $$)
Home-Made Intake (pcv piping with a filter)
Short Shifter

What position are you going for?
Street Racer? Drag Racer? Show Car?

Try the above link. Goes to many salvage yards all over the USA. I got set of 2001 Civic struts from on of these dealers for $125. I've seen some engines and engine parts listed. You can do a search on all the dealers.

Hope this helps.

And you guys, Hybrid is right, for a custom intake you have to use ABS piping...i know cause I just made one for my buddy who bought a 2002 dakota last month.

ii've heard that pvc pinping can't withstand high temps of heat. might melt of ya even with the thermal wrapping.
