It's not unreasonable to assume at least 3-4k. At that point, you could be in just about any other platform.
yea i know, ill do the swap myself me and my friend will do it, he did a swap to his civic before and another kid wed have help did a swap to his 93 ser but a s14 motor i think in it? its faaaaaast lol. but yea i know abt the cash, im expecting around 3or 4 grand to go into wiring harness ecu motor tranny mounts etc. the money isnt the problem its justhat i needa get everythign at one time so i dont hold up the process of the swap, and if im lucky i can use my uncles garage and do the swap. but yea i know alrdy abt the money and time ty for help all

If you wanna do affordable, do just an LS (B18A/B) into a Civic for now, then when you got another free weekend, swap on a B16A head to do the LS/VTEC swap and you'll be making decent torque and power, and it's cheaper than a GSR motor.
yea i have the tools and the friends. lol just ened the civic and the ls, thats what i planned to do was do a ls swap and then the b16a head later on. ty for help
