dc2 H22 type s swap! Opinions?

[h22civicman]

Hello!
I am considering swapping a h22a type s into an integra dc2. Will this swap be basically the same as an jdm h22a? This is a swap i plan on doing within the next 1-2years, gradually i will buy parts, first rolling shell and go from there. Any advice and recommendations from someone who has done a swap like this would be great.

I have never done a conversion before also...ive been reading up alot but want to get the experience in actually doing it too, got any advise on the best way possible to learn? If worst comes to worse ill just get a professional to drop it in

or u can just buy one. 1998 Acura Integra RS-H22 Coupe - Ottawa Cars For Sale - Kijiji Ottawa Canada.

i could but that would take away the fun of doing it myself.

Ive worked out a budget, will probably cost me 10-11k for my swap, thats engine, tranny, shell, everything. getting an experienced friend to help me too

Why not just go type-r?

why not? b18cr = 147kw 1.8... h22 type s = 162kw 2.2
