Shops near Hartford CT?

maximumyin · 05-31-2006, 09:23 PM

In a week or so I'm moving down to Farmington CT for a six month internship. They're paying me pretty well and I'm thinking about doing a 1.6 to 2.0 conversion on my B14. Does anyone know of any good shops near there that they trust and can handle a swap? Thanks in advance!

One weekend is def. possible if you have ALL the parts neccessary. I think you should look for the write-up on the swap and then make a list. As you get parts crosss it off. Also may need a clutch, water pump, and basic tune-up parts. I would assemble everything when on the ground and then just drop it all out(1.6) and then put the 2.0 in, I believe you need a harness not sure if any modification is needed.
