i'd go for the h22a im dropping one into my 99 hatch right now. its too difficult but make sure you find someone that knows there way around cars or you could get stuck.
the main things you need for the swap is
-the swap itself engine tranny ecu a/c p/s _ 2200
-hasport axles_359
-hasport motor mounts _ i think 500
-shift linkage and shift box
i had no problems dropping my engine in right now its down to wiring. i am still gonna have my A/C and P/S!! but my mechanic had to fab some special hoses. ive also pretty much rebuilt the motor to save myself from problems later on. ill give an update on how well 0it drives sooner or later

i got a 2000 civic si b16a2 block... im lookin for a b16 head to drop on it nd probly change up sum the internal parts to make it run betta then turbo it up....,but do u think its necessary to change the internals or i can get away wit jus the turbo??

unlikelyhero

dude seriously that guy doesnt know what hes talking about.. sir engine with turbo beating an evo and skyline is bs

D Money

na i doubt that haha i dont believe it lol but i kno the sir2 it a lil fast tho not major but good enough

H-Ridah

Hahahaha.
You underestimate the power of Honda my friend.
So I must be crazy or I must have been dreaming I guess. Lol
I'm not lying. He's a great driver and the car is wicked fast. You don't have to believe me but I know what I saw.
I think he had his headers in against the skyline but he didn't against the evo.

unlikelyhero

dude that SiR has to be fixed up the ass with the most illegal parts ever in the US or those cars had shitty ass drivers

H-Ridah

LOl.
I don't live in the U.S dude. All parts and pretty much all cars except for drag race cars are street legal. A 1000hp here is street legal. He drives around like once a year but you get my point. I live on an island called curacao.
It was a evo 4 and a skyline gtst. Not a gtr or something dude.
But it's still impressive.

stogey

anybody know how to find a b16a used for a good price in the us

D Money

yeah on ebay i jus bought a b16a2 block for 350..all i had to buy was a complete head for it nd i was up nd runnin but they have complete blocks for pretty cheap also...check it out



nd h-ridah thas wassup cuz i seen some fast ass civics na shit but not like that haha but aye the impossible aint always impossible ya dig...ill jus need to see it myself like u did lol but na i aint lookin for 1000hp lmao im in us nd it wudnt be legal

k20 eg

well that would be the easy way and spend less money. i am going eather with the ls/vtec or k20 for the civic eg but i never considerd the h22 but it would take a good amount of money and time to swap that h22 in the civic.

D Money

yea sure wud...nd the ls/vtec aint bad eitha tho for a swap..but i dno i had a b16 in my eg already so i jus bought a pretty new block for it nd insted of the same head jus bought a new one also, so i got a spare motor now...

the h22 tho i dnt think i wud bother wit it

You can try Craigslist or E-Bay Motors for engines.

or you can order direct.

will if u wanna go turbo... b16a has lower compression??

eg6dx97

acutally u can get a EP3 k20 for 1500 then 520 for hasport mounts. the k20 comes with every thing but axles.

leokhang

will yeah u can say that.. h22 has more hp, but has a lower redline compared to b16a?

eg6dx97

ya a little more hP but the weight makes it less efficiant. the fact that it the erly ones had iron blocks weighs the car down and it almost makes it slower. Its redline is also 7500 as opposed to 8500 or 9000 in some b16s. but for the price u could get an h22 ucould get a k20 from a type s with 200 hp then you can put the JDM cams inot to push it to 210 hp then you could chip it. chips are more redily avialable for the k20 and k24 than the H22 and the older engines.

eg6dx97

Another fact about an h22 swap is there is alot of cutting involved and im not ot keen on that idea because the more cutting you do on the crossmember the weaker it gets unless u box i in.. its just alot easyer for regular applications to put a b16 in a civic. If u intend to make it a track car then a turbo h22 may be the way to go but for evey day easy swap id say the b16 first, K20 second and h22 3rd

leokhang

eay if i can afford a k20 i'll go for it?

Because HP doesn't really mean as much as you think and the H22 isnt exactly a simple or cheap install. I've seen some H22 civics and all they were good for is drag racing at a track, not really a driveable car....personally I think its too much TQ for a daily driven FWD car.
