depends on the car... and the motor. swapping k20a RSX motors into civics costs about 8-10k installed. putting a b16 in a hatchback will cost around 3-5k. so it depends. why dont you just modify your existing VQ? something wrong with it?

no, am not saying it easy or any thing i just want to know how much it will cost.
if the price the shop gave me is fare or not that what am trying to know from you guys?
no, i just want to make around 550-600whp for now.
the engine i got is capable of 750whp.

That's a fair price. The "book" says it's a 22 hours job, and I guess your guys are charging $75/hour. I'm about to have my engine swapped and I got a quote of about 25 hours (a little higher because of some extra mods).
