(Question) type r engine..

[thanh]

sorry boys and girls but i have done my search but could not find my answer.


At one stage i had a type R but i had to sell it to get a house. I can only dream to drive one again. My question is would it be worth it if i purchase a normal 97 civic model and change the engine to a type r, if so how much am i looking at?


thank you

[Phamburger]

IMO

Get the Type R!

[Civic Type R]

18k for a well built one
97 EK4- ITR hybrid

type r is overrated

did you want a price including the car or just the conversion? also where are you located as that makes a differance in price too

The price for a engine conversion for a type R.. i live in nsw

What sort of "type r" motor are we talking about? A type r from a civic or from an integra?


You will be looking at a mimimum of $5000 I would have thought, but call up a few importers/wreckers and ask them.

And over priced IMO. If you can afford it just buy the whole car and save the time and trouble. If not, expect to pay $5k+USD ($6700+AUD) to do it right.

An EK hatch or coupe with K20A would go nice though

+ 1 vote for "..buy a real TYPE R" rather than spend the time buying another cheap car and converting it over.
