H22 in a 89 civic hatch

[nosaholic]

Hi everyone I have a 89 civic hatch and just bought a H22 A1 and want to know if anyone has done this swap and what will I need to install? Also does anyone have the parts I need for sale? I'm also looking to find a company that sells different final drive gear ( like the ring and pinion in a rear wheel drive car) Thanks for all and any help

should've done your research.


I heard this is a hard swap for that era of civics. I was going to go this route myself, but it ended up being to much $$$.

yes you are going to have some complications hope you have about 3k to get that motor to fit in your civic

clearance is your main issue. youll need to cut and hammer out alot and may need to place your hood with a cowl induct peice depending on your mounting the motor.slim fan and radiator are a must, custom mounts and axles are a must aswell. there are a few siute that outline the swap but i dont know them now. i was going to do this swap til i got into eg hatches. wiring will have to be custom. id go to a junk yard and get a car harness from a prelude and mount that into the civic. do a little research to find those site that are helpful.good luck man!!

I have the whole prelude. I can weld and do some metal fabing. Was hoping that someone made the mounts already.

I also have a 96 2dr But would like to drag the 89 with h22
