I have a feeling this is aimed at me since you quoted me in an earlier post calling me an idiot. So have you done an h22 swap in an ef yourself? I feel it isnt worth the time or the money. Also you need to look at what you put into it and ask yourself if you are someday going to sell it. Because 9 out of 10 times you buy a car, build it and sell it...your not going to get what you have in it. So to do an H series in an EF you have to fabricate a lot of shit (one thing being the removal of the stock pass side mount.) later on you decided you want to sell the car etc.. that car can only have the H series unless someone really wanted to reweld the stock mount back in. The h22 does change the handeling of the car. You have an extra 100-150Lbs in the car. When I said the H series is a waste of time i didnt litterally mean "a waste of time" But it is definatly something to think about before you get into it. Its a big change to the car and a big change to the amount of money you have. There are other options out there that will be JUST as fast for an equal or lesser price.

H22 swap isnt over 100lbs compared to B series, more like 60ish range, I'm not taking the time to find the thread right now on it.

H22 swaps in the EF are a nuisance I will agree, H2B swaps make it a lot easier, other than the hood cowl, having to raise it somehow.

U want a cookie?

And to the other guy sorry i came at u like that, i thought u ment that there slow n worthless. And yes i have put a h22 swap with type s internals pulls head build with custom intake mani n huge TB with turbo setup in my old 91 si crx which i parted out n sold. Also if you think about it you never ever get what you put into a car unless you part it out in the end.

Please, yes. Chocolate chip or oatmeal are my favorites...

I didn't read much of this thread, but I have an 88 hf with a H22A. This is my second 2.2 crx. The first one was gutted with an uncomfortable, lightweight, seat with shop made engine mounts. Now I have nice comfortable interior with Hasport mounts. I can see this swap being hard if a cutting torch and rebuilding your car from the ground up is beyond your grasp. This is the thing, ITS A STOCK ENGINE. I have no power adders to screw it up and I run high 12's on drag radials. Almost 100% stock.... in a way. Also, the steering problems are false on dirt, gravel, and tarmac (snow blows). I live in WV and have driven on many different roads and I have nothing but good results. Only problem is that the CRX is so light and fast you find humps that you didn't know were there. Its all in what your looking for cost, reliability, ease of installation (do you have a garage, tools, engine hoist), and how much down time do you have? Easy cheap swap is a ZC that you could boost later. Good luck

[quote=civic_kid_666;1012510]yeah true... but if you think about it as far as droping in the b series there isnt as much to do..everything pretty much drops in with the mounts.. I know of many ppl saying that the h in an ef handels like shit turning and the strait away... and that the cv angles are always off...and we all know that crooked cv's are never good... and to improve it would be even more money...

when i drove the h22 ek i just did, it had MAD understeer. h22s are nice for an accord, eg or ek iffy, ef or crx almost no,

I drove the crx everyday 80 miles with drag radials and it dove fine. BFGs held up really well on a light car like this, they still look good. ISF, M45, 2jz sc300, SRT8 challenger and M3s these are what you see all the kids driving. I have 5k in the whole thing and I give people a run. I live in WV bad twisty roads and the cars above are what I see on a daily bases. Along of course with the insane amount of Mopar, bow-ties, and mustangs. And lets not get into the handling there. I have had enough after-market modified turbo engines and at my age and two kids I don't have time or want to tinker on my honda. I have my HPI baja 5T for that. I would put a cadillac northstar in a accord. Sounds cool, get on it.

daloco1

a northstar in an accord, hmm , that would be interesting at least.

lol back when i had my cb7('92 accord), i was considering trying to put in a v6 from a newer accord... i came to terms with the fact that it would not fit unless i wanted to go nuts with metal relocation haha.

I dont know how many of you have actually done an H swap into an EF. I have done one, and just recently completed it about a month ago or so. It is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. You dont need to remove the tranny mount or relocate it and the wiring is waaay more simple than one might think. If the OP is still considering an H swap, go to explicitspeedperformance.net It took me 10 months to do the swap, and that was mostly money, and the fact that my euro H was obd1, not obd2 like we thought it was. Wiring is mostly extending wires for the alternator since the rest of the sensors are almost exactly in the same place H,B, or D. Raxels makes sick axles for the swap and its a hell of a lot cheaper then driveshaftshop, and just as good of quality. I can honestly say, that i have not seen a b series motor with the same amount of money keep up. I am running with a K series EG coupe, and thats low 13-12.8. I dont see a mild b doing that. Its a good swap, and i recommend it to anyone with the know how.

That was unnecessary. There IS an edit button, nub.
