I've just recieved a quote for an engine conversion. The basic idea is to get rid of my Civic engine (non-vtec) and replace it with an Integra Type R B18C (vtec) engine. The B18C also comes with a quick shift gearbox. The price is about £2500. Not sure how much fitting will cost. The power will increase from around 115bhp to just under 200bhp. I can't actually afford that much right now, but what do you guys think? Is that a good idea?
