Integra DA H22a swap

[RedTopPrelude]

Hi there,
I was thinking about a cheap project and i always liked the shape of the DA especially the coupe. I am the owner of a prelude Vtec and i have to say the H22a is a great engine.
Would it be possible to put the H22a inside a DA integra, what would be the main problems?
What about chassis regidity?
Thanks

It's a great swap to do. Chassis regidity? no worrys man!

Explicit Speed Performance Has everything you need to know/read about H22 swaps into EF/DA's.

I recommend doing it. This will probably be my next project; H22a/CRX

Thanks man.
I was afraid that the extra torgue might be an issue. I visited their website, it looked pretty cool and pro. Do they organize chipping outside the US? I am from New Zealand.
Is their stuff road legal?

I might get a Honda Prelude BB6 Type S H22A Engine & 5spd gearbox conversion package including both drive shafts complete with loom computer all engine bay electrics as removed form Japanese import front half done only 88,568kms (sorry no miles). I know this engine is OBD2 and on the prelude has the ATTS gear box, i know as well that they are 220Hp stock!! Would i have any problems with this engine swap? Should i get a H22A1?

Cheers

Yes, you can do that. it's the same thing, you'll just need to run it obd1 instead of 2(no big deal).

BTW, Honda's arent as weak as you seem to think
For instance- this guys putting down 568hp/400ft. lbs on a single cam.

The main problem with hondas is the wheel hop. Nothing a traction bar and good suspension can't help, of course.
