Don't forget the most important mod, the "proof reading" mod.

i'd say over a million for an engine swap is a bit too much, go with a veyron instead.

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?

thing is just pull the engine and put another one. that's it

Engine swapping isnt that hard, the hard thing is tuning and making sure its holding under pressure

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).

1650 is a fair price for an engine swap. its not as easy as you think.

and for gods sake man, proofread what you are writing.
