My car's timing belt went and took my motor with it back in December- just now FINALLY got it back I looked around for a shop who was willing to throw in an H22, but I had no local takers and I needed my car back ASAP. Well, the ASAP didnt happen but I finally have it back in the driveway, with a less than 30,000 mile motor inside her. I can definetly feel the difference- way more responsive and not a single check engine light or engine surging I'm gonna pick up hte old block and rebuild it up for a turbo set up. Sorry such a long post- just very excited to get my car back!

 

nice, how much did it cost?

 

That is really cool. I am glad you found a shop that did not leave your ecu trying to figure out an impropper configuration. These swaps don't need to kill the spirit of the car.

 

I think you are confused, or I was confusing in my thread- It's still an F23. Total after tax was $3,100. Not cheap but you would be surprised at some of the other quotes... up to $4,500! This is the first time it's been clean in months and I cant find my digital camera

 

3 months to swap the same engine inside?

Dang, im bitching because i wont have my car for 2 weeks now.. *sniff* i miss her ..

 

I did not miss understand, you were not clear.

But yeah, that is a long wait for the same engine.

 

well sorry gangsta it aint like cali where everywhere you look there's a shop begging to drop h22's in engine bays you know

 

Glad you got her back finally, building a turbo project will be a great project

Sucks it took you so long to get your car back, happened to my boy's GSR too, he got screwed by the shop waitin for them to swap his motor from car to car

 

part of it was the shop ( took almost a month) and part of it was me having to come up with over $3,000

 

meh, too many H22's. I dont know if its possible on the CL, but drop a turbo charged sr20 blacktop!!!

 

SR20 Engine swap would be cool, if our cars were RWD.

 

i know the feeling of not having her for a while and IT SUCKS!!!!!!!! glad she's ok......

 

 

Read his other thread

his car has VD

Vtec Disfuntion

 

Man i LOVE California.. sure we have earthquakes but its worth it!


And dropping in a SR20det in a honda/acura is a sin..

 

dropping in a 4g63 = best swap evar!

 

Just get a d15y7 .. or the R2D2
